All you want to know about "CYBERGAMES".
|
|||
|
|
Typed in by Knatter/XAKK on the 8th of June 1994
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ok, You might have heard some rumors about the old C64 group called XAKK
|
|||
|
|
planning to release a game called "Cybergames" on the Amiga.
|
|||
|
|
Well, since I'm one of the co-designers of that game, I felt obliged to tell you
|
|||
|
|
guys all about it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Cybergames" was designed by two old members of XAKK cracking section which
|
|||
|
|
was one of the major demo-groups on the C64 during 1987-1990.
|
|||
|
|
The two members are Knatter and Black adder and our real names are Bjorn
|
|||
|
|
Fogelberg and Johan Lundin, age 25.
|
|||
|
|
They have now formed a team named CYBERPUNK DEVELOPMENTS (CPD).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Cybergames" is the result of two years of hard programming. We decided to do
|
|||
|
|
it at a time when both of us was unemployed, but much has happend since then.
|
|||
|
|
We have had two very interested publishers, and a contract from each, but by
|
|||
|
|
various reasons both deals have gone straight down the drain.
|
|||
|
|
The first publisher was an English company called Celebrity software. They were
|
|||
|
|
probably out to rip us off by giving us a pretty lousy contract. When we wanted
|
|||
|
|
to change a few things about it, they backed out and was never heard from since.
|
|||
|
|
That was in the end of 1992.
|
|||
|
|
In the end of 1993 we got a deal with the Swedish company called Landbers.
|
|||
|
|
The owner Carl Landberg told Datormagazin (Swedish comp. mag) that he was going
|
|||
|
|
to become a games publisher.
|
|||
|
|
"Cybergames" was one of the games he was going to publish.
|
|||
|
|
We got a contract and it looked real good, but we never recived the final
|
|||
|
|
contract to sign. Time went by, and we asked Carl why it never came, and he
|
|||
|
|
always had some reson for it. Then about a month ago, he said that he wasn't
|
|||
|
|
going to publish anything on the Amiga b.cos of the downfall of Commodore.
|
|||
|
|
We DID have an oraly agreement with the man (legaly correct in Sweden), but
|
|||
|
|
figured we would waste too much time just fucking around with the law and never
|
|||
|
|
get anuthing out of it anyway, so we decided not to do anything about it...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Not many companies dare to publish a game on the Amiga b.cos nobody knows if
|
|||
|
|
that computer has any future. Personally I hope that Samsung have bought the
|
|||
|
|
rights for it cos then shit will really start happening. Don't count out the
|
|||
|
|
Amiga just yet!!!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ok, there we were, without a publisher, things looking pretty dark...
|
|||
|
|
Then we figured it out.. What the heck, why not sell it ourselves, cheap and by
|
|||
|
|
mail. Maby we won't make millions of $ on it but we'll rather make $200 than
|
|||
|
|
$0.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So that is where we stand today.
|
|||
|
|
We'll start by spreading the DEMO of "Cybergames", which is a real playable
|
|||
|
|
version and a real teaser. It will show really much what the game is all about.
|
|||
|
|
That way, NO ONE will risk buying a crappy game, since they already have played
|
|||
|
|
the demo of it.
|
|||
|
|
The demo will be released in a couple of weeks from today, and we won't start
|
|||
|
|
selling the game before!!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Cybergames" is a fighting game where you fight with different sword-like
|
|||
|
|
weapons. It is very aggresive and contains a lot of blood (including bloody
|
|||
|
|
headcuts and spurts/pools of red fluid), so if you are of a sensitive nature...
|
|||
|
|
BUY IT!!!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The closest reassemblence to the game would be that old game called
|
|||
|
|
"Barbarian" (My favorite), but "Cybergames" is of course faster/better/cooler/
|
|||
|
|
bigger/futuristic and a must to play.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some features in the game:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
-Lots of different opponents on 35 levels.
|
|||
|
|
-Digitized pics of opponents.
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
-Three different difficulty levels.
|
|||
|
|
-Lots of different weapons/addons/armor to buy.
|
|||
|
|
-Savable highscore list.
|
|||
|
|
-Separate cool intro.
|
|||
|
|
-Very cool game over.
|
|||
|
|
-Much cooler you win sequence.
|
|||
|
|
-Sampled audience/screams/slashes and stabs.
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|

|||
