You're thinking of the game from Steve Jackson Games, in the early '80s. Later on they made Car Wars, then GURPS, and Munchkin, among lots of other stuff. IIRC it was a science fiction wargame with hex maps and counters, about tank battles.
SJG is also famous for being raided by the Secret Service, having lots of stuff vital to their operations seized and being awarded a nice sum of money in SJG vs. Secret Service, which iirc. was also one of the reason why the EFF was created. They got on their radar because "The Mentor" of Legion of Doom fame (a familiar name for anyone reading Phrack at the time) also happened to work there and he distributed some (illegally?) obtained material via the SJG BBS.
The work in progress Cyberpunk module for GURPS was confiscated and believed to be a "handbook for hackers".
