The Commodore 64 version of the 1988 video game loosely based on William Gibson’s Neuromancer, created in part by Timothy Leary. The game is set in Chiba, Japan in 2058, within both the fictionalized “real world” and a beautifully realized cyberspace. The player character, a cyberpunk, travels between the two, seeking to solve the mystery of the disappearance of their friends. The present version features the soundtrack by Devo.

The first explicitly cyberpunk video game, a genre which has continued to influence the medium since. From the legendary Final Fantasy VII to Cyberpunk 2077, a vision of a technological dystopian future has been of persistent interest to game producers.

Price: $3,500.00
