I believe I played this game in the early 1990s. Probably on a 486 or whatever came just after that. I think it would have been an early version of Windows.

The graphics and gameplay were pretty good, similar to Tex Murhpy's Under A Killing Moon. I don't remember if there was speech.

I do remember having to sit down at a table with a guy who looked like he was in a comma who was plugged into the net and getting into the net as well. I also remember a lock, I believe on a door, where you had to rotate a bunch of symbols to make up a bigger symbol.

Not much to go on...

Thanks!

This one (http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/364/B.A.T.+II+-+The+Koshan+Conspiracy.html) looks similar to what you're talking about. Otherwise you can try the related games linked below the review, or looking at games tagged "cyberpunk" (http://www.abandonia.com/en/game/all/Cyberpunk/).
