Las Madonnas: The Scrapped Sisterhood of Mercy
You may have already noticed that barely any women worked for Give Me Head Productions. If the company name didn’t put them off then we’re presuming that Cassidy probably did. All jokes aside, the ’80s didn’t really care much for women; it just seemed to tolerate them to a point. That’s one reason why there’s…

The Shadowy Cyberia Council
In the grand scheme of things, we’re not sure where to place the Cyberia Council. Although it saw a fair bit of visual development in the early days (which explains why it’s all nice and shiny), it didn’t have much of a narrative purpose, not helped by the fact that there are no playable characters…

Giddy Ferret Paw the Musical Mental Case [With Live Footage]
Giddy Ferret Paw isn’t the real birth name of this funky eccentric; Sidney Swarbrick is. But we’ll honour using it anyway. As we can all see from these photographs, Giddy is an interesting character who, by the grace of fifty pagan gods, somehow ended up working for Give Me Head Productions. He was the only employee…

Cyberia Location #4 Dmitry’s Luxury Arcade of the Future
Another Forgotten Genius When rummaging around the files, we were thrilled to find one which had a number of fantastic images but little in the way of detail. The illustration style also doesn’t look like any other style we have come across thus far. It is reminiscent of the original Tron movie which all self-respecting…

The Cyberia’s Most Wanted Files [With Mugshots]
We found a folder entitled “Mugshots” which contained the above images. There are a few more which we are trying to restore. We also found a reference to the origin of these images before we found the images themselves. An early memo written by Charlie Ryba reads thus: Me and Cassidy took photographs and videos…

A Gallery of Promotional Material in Print for Cyberia
As we have seen, the Give Me Head team was a mixed bag of gourmet Belgian chocolates and your nan’s over-boiled brussel sprouts. However, to their credit, one area they seemed to excel in was illustration and design. Below is some of the promotional material we have found at varying stages of completion. We still…

How Would An Interactive Cyberpunk Television Series Even Work?
While piecing together these various documents and artefacts, we found ourselves returning to one important question: how would the interactive role-playing element even work? Having a weekly cyberpunk series which people at home can play along with sounds like the greatest concept in the entire world–the cultural equivalent of George Lemaître’s contribution to the Big…

Give Me Head Productions Part #3 [August + September]
What began as one man’s battle cry of ambition ended as a whimper of bewilderment by the very same man. What’s even worse is that it was less than five months between the two. If we return to that first ever phone call between CEO Cassidy and best buddy Charlie Ryba, hit the pause button…

Cyberia Collectors’ Card #48 Skidz
“Awright, guv. Come an’ Worzel me fackin’ bag coz I only ‘ave t’ best Persians in tarn.” –Skidz District: Roadkill Boondocks (surely?) Occupation: This dipshit marks the beginning of a cruel end. The only information we have on this sad, playable character is–just to rub salt in the wounds–a resignation letter we’ve found dated August…

Cyberia Collectors’ Card #44 X-40-DD-9Y-1
“Beep beep kill beep beep” -X-40-DD-9Y-1 District: Little Amsterdam Occupation: Unknown. Although “unknown” sounds mysterious, we mean it literally. We have no idea who this fella is supposed to be and we can’t find any other related material. Based on his location in Cyberia, we suspect that he was going to be woven into the…
