If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

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.

Does Jet Set Radio Future count as cyberpunk?

I'd say it does. Have you seen the new-ish game Bomb Rush Cyberfunk? It looks just like JSRF to me.

It's amazing and well worth the price.
