Ahh, I guess that does say cyberpunk.

Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.

Don't really know if we can put "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" into the cyberpunk category, but it's definitely one hell of a game 😁

YES!!! (take a look on your left...) 🤣
Martian Memorandum is another great cyberpunk game as well. Rex Nebular is also interesting. Space Quest IV also has some cyberpunk references but falls more into the comic context.
I don't know if one would classify this as cyberpunk strictly but Gunmetal (from Mad Genius Software) is quite a good game.
You play as a member of a massive megacorporation's private army, controlling a small hover tank drone through the use of a virtual reality interface and you are usually sent to conduct raids upon other corporations assets. The whole universe in Gunmetal is dominated by massive corporations and corporate alliances, there isn't really any strong government to be seen. The only funny thing is, Earth is considered a demilitarized zone in Gunmetal's universe, but the treaties get broken regardless.

If it involves virtual reality and megacorporations, I'd pretty much consider it cyberpunk.
A game I like that kind of falls into the Cyberpunk genre, at least somewhat, is "The Moment of Silence". Classic point and click adventure. Also it could be said that "The Longest Journey" series has a cyberpunk element to it, although it's mixed in with fantasy. "Ripper" also could be said to be a cyberpunk game. I'd dare say that due to the nature of cyberpunk, it has been covered pretty extensively throughout computer gaming history.

These are both very adventurey games though so you have to be into that.
Many games I've never even heard about! Great being here. You Vogoners are the cream of the crop of gamers with older titles!
I could have sworn I made a reply to this thread but now I don't see it. What's up with that? Seems odd that it would just go missing.
-Edit- Mystery solved, looks like it was a different but similar thread.
Daikatana has cyberpunk and generally sucks but I'm still kinda enjoying it. 😀 The main problem is it feels like it was made by some annoyingly immature people.
Cybermage is a game few people mention but it has a ton the '90s Origin cyberpunk look & feel. It also has some elements of System Shock, though it is mostly a Doom clone. Strife and Cyclones might be candidates too.

Yup. Let's link them for future-searchers.

FYI - this thread was actually bumped by a now deleted advertising post about a facebook game, probably from googling 'cyberpunk' for potential markets to spam in.
Thanks again for the suggestions all!
