Give Dead City a try.
There's a few more suggestions leaving the Adventure genre aside, like Deus Ex, System Shock, Beyond Good & Evil and Anachronox to name a few.

How about Noctropolis?
http://www.quandaryland.com/jsp/disp...e.jsp?index=50 I've never completed the game, but the dark setting is pretty amazing!

I don't think the little-known Zero Critical qualifies as cyberpunk, but as an avid fan of Blade Runner I found the atmosphere to be enjoyable. Quote:

Thanks for the literal outpouring of responses guys, I certainly have enough leads to keep my hands full for quite some time. I think I'll give Snatcher a whirl first - I'll keep you guys posted as to how it all goes.
But so as not to waste a thread, I do second that - steampunk adventures games, anyone? =) |

Good choice! Do try out the SegaCD version, for the improved graphics, extended ending, and excellent for it's time voice acting. I hope I've made finding a copy fairly straightforward.
Though I must say there have been quite a few excellent and interesting games mentioned in this thread. Some I've played, some I haven't and must now add to my to-do list! |

Hmm... can't think of many Steampunk games... Entomorph had some steampunk didn't it? But it's more of an Action/Adventure game than anything else.
And, well, Arcanum, but it's a pure RPG. Everyone should play it though. EDIT: The Mystery of the Nautilus?

I guess Gadget could be called Steampunk:
http://www.mobygames.com/game/gadget...avel-adventure Whether it can be called a game is a better question! Good work of art, though. There's a 4-CD late-90s remake so rare that it's not even listed on Mobygames. |

This is a long stretch but Dreamfall and the Longest Journey have small bits of steampunk. The problem is, there is a dicotomy between the two worlds that contain fantasy and science fiction and I am not sure about the rules that regard the two. Maybe someone with more knowledge on the genre can correct me?

Beneath a Steel Sky (Cyberpunk game) is free to legitimately download online, & which is excellent because it used to be £25 when first launched.

Snatcher is very good. I was surprised that Konami pulled off such a great adventure game complete with pretty decent voice acting. One of the reasons to own a Sega CD (well, for me back in the day at any rate heh). I still have my copy too
Rise of the Dragon takes place in a futuristic LA and could be considered cyberpunkish. Too bad Dynamix never made any more 'Blade Hunter Mysteries'. It's basically a third person adventure game with a few action sequences thrown into the mix. Bloodnet is pretty good, neat story and good voice acting. Combat in that game just sucks though. Too many enemies going for headshots and taking your people out fast. I like all the weapons and cyber implants, just wish the combat engine was retooled and there were more unique looking characters graphics. And some of the final fights are just plain frustrating hehe. Otherwise, great game! Noctropolis i believe could be consider cyberpunk. I haven't played it in sooo long but i remember you becoming this superhero like person in this strange gothic looking futuristic city of the same name. |

I really loved the cyberpunk-comicbook style of the game...

Regarding cyberpunk, there's also Omikron: The Nomad Soul!
