I wouldn’t have called Contra or Bionic Commando cyberpunk (although they are kinda sci-fi) but I’ve never heard of those other games so I’ll definitely check them out, thanks!
And yeah, I’m setting a pretty low bar here. “Futuristic urban decay” is close enough to cyberpunk that I’d be at least interested in playing those games.
Sorry, I was referring more to coin-op stand-up arcade games, not arcade-inspired indie games. But yes, Huntdown is a fantastic game and I’m looking forward to the roguelike sequel Huntdown: Overtime!
Pantheon. It only has 2 seasons, has a definitive ending, and is currently on Netflix.
EDIT: Also, have you already watched Cyberpunk: Edgerunners?

I recently moved to Summit on android and have been very happy with it. It’s extremely customizable so I can configure it exactly as I wanted.
I used to use Infinity for reddit and someone forked it to replace all reddit references with lemmy references (called it Eternity). I loved that one but the dev kinda disappeared and abandoned it. I was able to configure Summit to be basically the same as Eternity, which I couldn’t really replicate in any of the other app choices.
This is an awesome list and I just want to add a couple more. The SNES and Genesis each had a Shadowrun game but they’re totally unrelated. I think the Genesis version is better. Same with Pirates of Dark Water (I loved this show). The SNES and Genesis versions are completely different and I prefer the Genesis game.
Other than that, I really like Elemental Master. It’s a vertical shoot 'em up but you play as a mage, always walking up. So it’s kinda like the NES game Gun.Smoke if that means anything to you.
