The Punks That Got Away
When rummaging around some files, we stumbled across a series of mugshots. Each came with a sheet of lined paper covered in time-faded unflattering scribbles. It was immediately obvious that these were drafts of playable characters; ones which were scrapped for being ridiculous or because there were issues with the actor. In this chapter we’re…

Cyberia District #6 Roadkill Boondocks and the Hell Fire Crew [With Footage]
The Roadkill Boondocks was clearly and shamelessly “inspired” by the Mad Max movies; specifically Beyond the Thunderdome which had not long been released.

Cyberia District #5 Little Amsterdam
Little Amsterdam is overspilling with junkies, street punks and petty crime. Everywhere the casual visitor turns, they’re confronted with a ghostly grey figure with a bloody nose or a beggar holding out his cap for small change. It should be noted that there really is nothing “Amsterdam” about this place. Anal-World Amsterdam is rich with…
