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:

And just to prove they don’t have to be GOTY contenders…

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.

    Slave Zero was great. Good soundtrack, good art for the time, fun gameplay.

      Loved that game. I liked how they were able to preserve the sense of scale so you actually felt like a giant robot in a city even though gameplay-wise it was all just platforming.
