I'm not altogether sure what makes a game cyberpunk, but I agree that Shadowrun is excellent. Definitely an underrated game.

I heard of shadowrun, but never played it.
I don't know anything "cyberpunk" on the NES... at least I can't think of something now...

well, post-apocalyptic describes A LOT of games from the NES/SNES era, and cyberpunk, to my understanding of the word is just futuristic punk-ishness. I would say Street Fighter 2010 would fit... I doubt you'll have much trouble finding games to fit that description if you make it a little more clear as to what you're looking for.

neither do I really, but I think that's the type of setting being described in the original post.

Well for starters there's a Mad Max NES game.
If The Death Race 2000 the movie qualifies then there is a game of roughly the same title "death race"; I am unsure if they're related

Yes, much based on movies and stuff, but not much original I could think of.

1984 isn't cyberpunk. Neuromancer is cyberpunk. If you want a cyberpunk fix, pick up some William Gibson novels, the father of cyberpunk.

Yes! Im sorry. 1984 was a bad exacmple. William Gibson. Completely right. It was one of his books that the Snes game Shadowrun was based on.

Flashback

If you liked that, check a game called 'Out of This World'. I believe it was a 16-bit era game (Genesis or SNES).

Or my personal "cyberpunk" favorite, 'Blackthorne' for the SNES and (recently remade for) GameBoy Advance.

Don't know of any more NES though. Maybe 'Time Lord'?

Yeah, I thought Out of this World was FAR superior to Flashback. Same basic idea though. Maybe same engine? I think they were...
