CityTech is a FASA wargame first published in 1986 and set in the BattleTech fictional universe.

Scott Tanner reviewed CityTech in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 78. [1] Tanner commented that "It is in City Tech that infantry come into their full potential. Standing around in open country and getting slaughtered seems to be the poor infantryman's lot until City Tech came out." [1]
