What was the first cyberpunk video game you played? Were you playing the point & click adventure games back on DOS? Shadowrun on SNES? Deus Ex on PC? Or did you just recently discover this thing called “cyberpunk” with Cyberpunk 2077?

I’m curious how long everyone here has been into cyberpunk.

    About 18 years ago I played a Cyberpunk video game which was essentially a Diablo 2 clone. But for the life of me, I can’t remember the name of it.

    I’ve been playing the Cyberpunk 2020 pen & paper rpg for about 19 years and been running it as a GM for about 14 years.

    Then came the Cyberpunk 2077 video game, which I loved, and shortly afterwards I started GMing the Cyberpunk:Red p&p rpg (still running it since on a weekly basis).

    I also got into video games like Detroit: Become Human, Nobody wants to die and Observer: System Redux after Cyberpunk 2077.

      Sounds like a fun challenge! Could it have been Cybermercs: The Soldiers of the 22nd Century? Or maybe Restricted Area? I actually don’t know, I just tried searching for cyberpunk-like diablo clones from ~2002. That’s a tough one.

      I’ve had Nobody Wants To Die on my wishlist for awhile but can’t decide if it’s worth it. What’d you think of the game?

        I enjoyed it quite a lot. The storytelling was great and so were the visuals. In case you’d love a Cyberpunk meets Batman: The animated series crossover, I’d say go for it! Plus there’s different endings depending on some key choices.
