What would you say are the best old-school cyberpunk video games?
Note that I don’t actually care if it’s the “best”, I’m just looking for some fun older games to play. So give me something better than Raid 2020 and I’ll call it a win.
I’m thinking things like:
- Snatcher (1988)
- Blade Runner (1997)
- System Shock 2 (1999)
- Deus Ex (2000)
And just to prove they don’t have to be GOTY contenders…
- Slave Zero (2000)
- Shadowrun (1994)
- X-Kaliber 2097 (1994)
So yeah, give me some recommendations from the NES/SNES/N64 era (I’m not convinced there’s anything worth playing from the ZX Spectrum/Commodore 64 era). Maybe some Arcade (MAME) games too? I can’t think of any cyberpunk arcade games.
I’ve never played Omikron: The Nomad Soul or BloodNet before. Not sure if they’re worth my time.
Beneath a Steel Sky (1994, Amiga & MS-DOS) of course. You can get it for free at GOG among other places as it’s freeware now.
