BloodNet is a cyberpunk RPG / Adventure game published by MicroProse in 1993.
A mix of future tech and gothic vampire story, in the cyberpunk style, BloodNet puts the player into the role of a man named Ransom Stark, who must battle a vampire named Abraham Van Helsing who is attempting world domination and save both humanity and the cybernet. Ransom Stark was bitten by the aforementioned vampire -- but is able to fight of the infection with the help of a computer grafted onto his brain stem.
The game's perspective was similar to Sierra's Quest series of games. The game featured a great deal of written dialog, an open-ended travel system, random encounters, and a few puzzles, some of which were very difficult. An alternate 'cyberspace universe' was also part of the gameplay, where codewords are needed to travel to different 'wells' (cyberspace locations). Role-playing elements were also present in Bloodnet: the player character and other recruitable characters for the player's party had number-based stats (such as (Perception, Hacking, etc), and combat was based on the player character's attributes and stats.
