Actually, they pretty well cover all the basic Cyberware. Muscle Augs, Dermal Plating,
Hand Razors, Cyberarms, Cortex Bomb (give it to Adam Bomb and toss him through a Z-Zone
into someone's safe house... OUCH), Chips jacks, Smartlinks, and I think that's it. The
rest of the cyberware from the RPG wouldn't serve much purpose, except maybe having
cybereyes that give you +1 damage with ranged weapons (cuz you can hit better), and what I
would LOVE to see is a filtration system whiich would give you a D6 roll to resit cards
like poison gas trap, GAQ, and Bad Lunch.

Hmmm... 2 impromptu card ideas:

Name: Internal Filtration System
Type: Gear/Cyberware
Cost: 2 nuyen, -1 essense
Text: Runner with IFS recieves an addition D6 roll when encountering a GAQ, Poison Gas
Trap, or Bad Lunch. On a 4+ the runner is uneffected by the card.
Flavor: "Thanks to this puppy, I no longer have to watch what I eat"

Name: Pepto
Type: Stinger
Cost: 3 nuyen
Text: Trash a GAQ or Bad Lunch
Flavor: "Just two spoon fulls will cure what ails ya"

hehe, sorry, instant inspiration, completely off subject.
