==Webrunner==
''Netrunner'' launched with a proto-[[alternate reality game]] called ''Webrunner: The Hidden Agenda'', which cast players as hackers against the evil Futukora corporation. Players broke through seven puzzle-themed "gates" to get the secret data ("agenda"). The popular game was the first online game tied into a product release, making the front page of ''[[The New York Times]]'' technology section.<ref>{{cite news |title=Netrunner: Hacking With a Shuffled Deck |first=Edward |last=Rothstein |author-link=Edward Rothstein|url=https://www.nytimes.com/library/cyber/techcol/0219techcol.html |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=February 19, 1996 |accessdate=August 17, 2013}}</ref>

A sequel, ''Webrunner II: The Forbidden Code'', followed on release of the ''Proteus'' expansion. In this, players were cast as security chiefs beset by hackers.
