Neuromancer/Gameplay

Neuromancer is a game based on exploration and trial and error. You begin with very little covered in the manual and you must explore, buy things, test and experiment them yourself. It is also important to be able to filter out useful information you many read on BBSes or hear in dialogue. When talking with other characters you are supposed to guess what topics the character recognises and type them yourself. Your actions are also limited as your time online drains credits from your money chip.

On the other hand all information in the game is non-random and constant in each playthrough. That means that you have to pass through some actions only once. Having already learned a code or password, you can save yourself precious time or credits.
