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.

It's a silent takedown if no one else is alive to hear it 😎

The GEP gun takedown is always the most silent way to eliminate Manderley.
