One thing I remember fondly about Spectre (or one of its versions) is it coming with a first-person cyberpunk-style narrative about some protagonist character "rezzing" into the virtual tank world. As a kid, it was probably my first exposure to the genre, long before I came across Gibson. Is that story available online anywhere?

For the record, Neal Stephensons' "Snow Crash" was required reading at Velocity around the time of the Spectre VR release, I got my first copy of it directly from the general manager of Velocity at the time, he pulled it out of a box of them he had at hand ..
So, not Gibson, more than likely Stephenson...

Best I can recall, that was written by someone at Velocity (the publisher, as discussed by boffinAudio's sibling comment). No idea where to find it online.
I believe I still have an unopened boxed copy of the original game somewhere in the attic, I could break it out and scan it...
