The Paranoia Complex
The Paranoia Complex takes place in a city controlled by a rogue computer which has its dictatorial grasp over it. The player takes the role of a citizen who has the dirty job to hunt down terrorist rebels. This simply plays out that the computer gives instructions, the player walks to the terrorist in the top-down city and shoots him. After collecting a disk from the body and bringing it to a special terminal, money and promotions wait as reward.

About
The Paranoia Complex is an unlicensed video game based on the pen and paper role-playing game Paranoia. It was released in 1989 by Magic Bytes for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum. It takes the form of a top-down maze shooter and reviews at the time pegged it as mediocre to poor.
It was re-released in 1990 under the title "Cyber World". with certain terms changed to no longer match the pen-and-paper game, and imagery of electric chairs (which did not appear in the pen-and-paper game) removed.
