The Sega CD version is emulated as well, and that version is a lot better.

Cyberpunk is a science fiction genre noted for its focus on "high tech and low life". Its name was originally developed as a marketing term and coined by Bruce Bethke in his short story “Cyberpunk” written in 1980, so that his novel would have more appeal to readers. The term cyberpunk was originally intended to be a character description for Bethke’s characters, but since then it has evolved and developed into a full genre of its own. Its name is a portmanteau of cybernetics and punk. It features advanced science such as information technology and cybernetics, coupled with a degree of breakdown or a radical change in the social order. According to Lawrence Person:

"Classic cyberpunk characters were marginalized, alienated loners who lived on the edge of society in generally dystopic futures where daily life was impacted by rapid technological change, an ubiquitous datasphere of computerized information, and invasive modification of the human body."[1]

Cyberpunk plots often center on a conflict among hackers, artificial intelligences, and mega corporations. They tend to be set in a near-future Earth, rather than the far future settings or galactic vistas found in novels like Isaac Asimov's Foundation or Frank Herbert's Dune. The settings are usually post-industrial dystopias, but tend to be marked by extraordinary cultural ferment, and the use of technology in ways never anticipated by its creators ("the street finds its own uses for things"). Much of the genre's atmosphere echoes film noir, and written works in the genre often use techniques from detective fiction.

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? =)

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'.
