The Cyberia Lowdown
Welcome all Cyber Heads! This is the official launch of a first-of-its-kind lost media project created by two brothers drunk on ’80s nostalgia. Here’s the lowdown: Way back in 1988, an ambitious company called Give Me Head Productions began working out of a Silicon Valley office space over on the B-movie side of town. Headed…

The Day We Dug Up a Treasure Trove [VHS #1]
After sorting through our first chapter of material and making double sure that we had rescued everything possible, we decided to revisit the Silicon Valley office to see if we could find anything else related to Give Me Head Productions and/or the Cyberia project. We knew there had to be more material in that cold,…

A Compilation of Dmitry’s 3-Inch Floppy Animations [With Animation]
As mentioned here, we have received these short clips which were created by the super talented video game developer Dmitry Parsons. Roger had noted in the email that graphics #3 and #9 aren’t an accurate representation. The originals will have had a “much lower frame rate and more aggressive pixels”. We would like to note…

Slangder #5: What is a Warbot? [With Footage]
A warbot is the name given to AI-charged mercenaries. They are partly constructed from explosive liquid nitrogen so that, as and when they are killed, they blow up everything and everyone within a square mile radius. Warbots don’t care which team they are on. However, they are fiercely loyal to their employers providing they regularly…

The Mystery of Mr Mystery
If you’ve been clicking around these pages for any length of time, you will regularly see us pointing out the work of one particularly talented dude who we are struggling to identify. As such we refer to him (it’s probably a him given how few women worked at Give Me Head) as Mr Mystery. The…

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 Footage]
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…
