Bonus points if they are super retro ideas of the future internet like in front mission 3.

Something I continually think about is how Doom 3 showed us a world where you can have a first-person game that seamlessly has you controlling a mouse cursor on in-world computer screens, and it saddens me that nobody picked up that baton.

Best feature in that whole game.

I haven't played Doom 3, but it sounds very similar to what Prey 2017 has - all the computers in the game have (in-universe) touch input, so you can use them just by pressing the interact key while looking at a display. You can even fire rubber-tipped foam darts at screens to trigger a click in the spot where the dart hit!

Indeed. It's arguably the best, and in some cases the only way to get behind security booths and the like when you're doing a no-neuromods run, because you don't have access to mimic or hacking.

The dart also makes a fun 'squeak' noise when it hits something, great for occupying enemies.
