Catch-22 meets 1984!
Paranoia is an adventure role-playing game set in a darkly humorous future. A well-meaning but deranged computer desperately protects the citizens of an underground warren from all sorts of real and imagined traitors and enemies.
You will play the part of one of the Computer's elite agents. Your job is to search out, reveal, and destroy the enemies of the Computer. Your worst fear is that the Computer will discover you are one of those enemies.
This entry is for the original, West End, versions of the game. The new Mongoose version is notably revised, and so receives its own entry.

| 5 / 10 | Simple Man | I can't believe 5th gets lumped in with 1st and 2nd. 1st/2nd get 9, 5th gets 1, average is 5 |
| 5 / 10 | Thanuir | I don't particuarly like the game, though it isn't bad by any measure. |
