Interface is a game magazine published by Prometheus Press between 1990 and 1992 that was licensed to publish articles about R. Talsorian Games's dystopian near-future role-playing game Cyberpunk.
Publication history
In 1990, three dedicated fans of Cyberpunk who lived in Alameda, California — Kevin DeAntonio, Chris Hockabout, and Thaddeus Howze — approached R. Talsorian Games about producing an independent magazine about the game. R. Talsorian agreed to license them,[1] and the three formed Prometheus Press to publish their fanzine Interface. Each issue featured a full-color cover and black & white interior.
Six issues of the magazine were published between 1990 and 1992.[2]

In the September 1992 edition of Dragon (#185), Allen Varney reviewed the third issue of the magazine, and while he called one article "meaty", he noted that most of the magazine "falls distinctly below the median [...] Even the good articles could stand more pizazz, and the editorial style needs a lot more polish." Despite this, he concluded "this fan magazine offers remarkable value for the dedicated Cyberpunk referee."[1]
