Reception[]
Cyberspace was ranked 44th in the 1996 reader poll of Arcane magazine to determine the 50 most popular roleplaying games of all time. The UK magazine's editor Paul Pettengale commented: "One of the most detailed cyberpunk rules systems, what really sets Cyberspace apart is its cybertechnology. Rather than presenting a shopping list of things your character could have implanted in his or her anatomy, Cyberspace includes full rules for designing customised cyberware. By connecting sub-systems to 3 different inputs, outputs, activation controls and power sources, players can create their own systems."[1]
