What are your favorite old-school cyberpunk video games? I’m not convinced there’s anything worth playing from the ZX Spectrum/Commodore 64 era, but maybe the NES/SNES/N64/PS1 eras had some good cyberpunk games?

Most of the old cyberpunk games I can think of were on PC, and most of those were point & click adventure games. But what about more action-oriented games? Like X-Kalibur 2097, Slave Zero, or Tron 2.0? Or maybe there are some arcade (MAME) games worth playing?

Also, when I say “best” I really just mean “fun”. So give me something better than Raid 2020 and I’ll call it a win.

    Snatcher!

    Edit: I just realized I didn’t read the whole post, sorry. Snatcher isn’t action-oriented at all. Well, except some short shooting sections.

      Snatcher is a fantastic choice for a retro cyberpunk game! I’m not going to judge what your favorite retro cyberpunk game is, I only mentioned action-oriented games to try to get people thinking.

      Also, I’m more likely to try a game I’ve never heard of if it’s action since point & click adventure games usually demand more dedicated time. You can’t just pick up a point & click game and play for 10min to see if you like it.
