SLA Industries is a role-playing game first published in 1993 by Nightfall Games in Glasgow, Scotland. The game combined concepts inspired by a range of song lyrics, aesthetics and ideas from the Industrial music scene, cyberpunk fiction (including Blade Runner and Max Headroom), Anime (including Akira and Appleseed), and the growing cultural obsession with the media (including 24 hour news services and the Gladiator TV Show) in order to create an ultra-dystopian far-flung future in which the 99.9% of the known universe is either directly owned by, or indirectly controlled by, the eponymous "SLA Industries" corporation. It is also noted as having a distinctive flavour due to the influences of the Glasgow / Scottish upbringing of the writers, as opposed to the more pure Americana influences of other games written around this period.
