Neon Nights in Cyberia: The Video Game That Nearly Caused a Mass Shooting
By mid-July the team was still on a high–both metaphorically and literally. CEO Lawrence Cassidy had spent a little over half of his inheritance in two and a half months (with approximately half of that spent on Rayful Edmond’s cocaine). Cassidy wasn’t really counting because he was incapable of it. For him, reality had turned…

Cyberia Megacorp #4 SKARS CORP and Introducing “Tin Man” O’shea
Out of all the megacorps in Cyberia, SKARS features the most. This is because several of the playable characters find themselves creating an alliance to bring down this totalitarian titan once and for all. Scotch Mike, who deeply regrets the SKARS sponsored surgical procedure he had in his impressionable years, understands what’s really going on…

Slangder #3: What is the Anal-World?
The Anal-World is what Cyberians call our world; a peaceful utopia before computer technology had completely destroyed everyone’s life. As the Give Me Head team was creating this universe in 1988, they had no idea what the 2020s would actually look like. If you’re still wondering: anal is short for analogue. Of course, we humans began…

Cyberia Megacorp #3 Candy Coins
Probably the most prophetic of all the megacorps, Candy Coins was going to be the main currency for Cyberia’s criminal underworld which basically means that everyone was going to be using it including those brutish Cyberpigs. Myra Lippit was already working in the Silicon area when she applied for the role of “project leader who…

Cyberia District #2 The Russian Quarter
The Russian Quarter is a seedy district out in the eastern suburbs of the Cyberia Universe. Several of the playable characters etch out their existence here. The two main etchers are Boriz and his boss Count Maxim. Boriz is a low level pimp who dreams of bigger things, but he doesn’t have a clue how…

Cyberia District #1 Megacorp Valley
Megacorp Valley is by far the busiest district in the Cyberia Universe. The majority of characters survive and die here, fighting over candy like two toddlers with sugar withdrawals. Some characters only visit occasionally, hoping to take down the corrupt CEOs of the megacorps and finally put an end to a nefarious system which serves…

Cyberia Location #1 The Screamer Arena!
There are several locations which were going to appear over and over throughout the Cyberia Universe. One of the first which the team came up with was the Screamer Arena. After a fist fight among staff, it was eventually located in Megacorp Valley rather than the Pleasure Strip (which according to Alberto was “hogging all…

Cyberia Megacorp #2 Chipmunk
Duncan “Dildo Master” Marshall had just finished a gruelling internship at a New York advertising agency. He was waiting for an appointment at a careers office, browsing the classifieds of a Visit the Golden State tourism pamphlet when something caught his eye: Calling all marketing mavericks! Our fresh new team is looking for somebody capable…

Cyberia Megacorp #1 Viv Bastard
As we continue to explore the Cyberia Universe, we will look at some of the ideas pitched by employees at Give Me Head Productions HQ. They understood that such a project required coherent, multilayered immersion. To their credit, they were on track for achieving at least this much (if they had a thousand years to…

Mickey “Motormouth” P. and His Lust for Muscle
One of the few areas Give Me Head Productions really excelled in was vehicle design. The above gallery of outstanding cars is testament to this. The vast majority of this work was by Mickey “Motormouth” P., a dysfunctional graphic designer from Fuckyeahville, somewhere in Texas probably. In Cyberian parlance he’s a total gas junkie. Motormouth…
