I wasn't too into the game "back in the day". It was too unbalanced towards just a few play paths in my opinion, so I never got into it.

I liked what I saw in the demo. I also talked to the guy afterwards and he said that in the re-release that balance was one of the key points they addressed.

I must say, I am really looking forward to this game now. I wish I had picked up a copy or two that first day at GenCon now.

I saw lots of people carrying them around and bought one out of curiosity. I have to say I'm very pleasently surprised so far! I never got into the first edition of netrunner so I had no expectations but I definitely recommend picking a copy up as soon as you spot one.
