CYBERIA
Because of mankind's technological advancements, the dawn of Armageddon is at hand. Buried underneath the frozen tundra of northern Russia, an advanced piece of machinery awaits human discovery. Known as Cyberia, the device was built as a means of protection and prosperity.
In the distant future, however, it has fallen into the wrong hands. While the intentions of the machine were peaceful, it is being misused as a destructive juggernaut capable of crippling the entire universe. In a time of turmoil and chaos, the Free World Alliance has called upon a devious hacker named Zak. A convicted criminal, the fugitive was rotting in a cell when the alliance gave him a chance at redemption.
Organized by William Devlin, the Free World Alliance has initiated an elaborate mission objective involving the infiltration of the Cyberia Complex located in Russia. Assuming the role of the reformed hacker, you rendezvous with Santos and his gang of mercenaries in the North Atlantic. From there, you pilot the highly advanced TF-22 TransFighter aircraft and descend into the frozen wasteland.
Developed by Xatrix Entertainment and published by Interplay Productions, Cyberia combines third-person adventure elements with high-energy, first-person action sequences via aircraft. Gameplay is broken into two parts: walking around and shooting scenarios.
While walking around and interacting with various items, you receive help from the Bi-optic Low Amplitude Displayed Energy System or, in simpler terms, BLADES. This system allows Zak to use infrared and thermal scanning for the detection of enemies, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that examines items and BioScanning for organic matters.
Zak must use these resources in moderation because when the three functions are executed, they slowly drain the battery system. It does, however, recharge over time. While maneuvering the character through the complex base levels, you must be on the lookout for potential hazards.
After encountering a batch of enemies, you find yourself immersed in a heated gunbattle. Instead of using a free-movement system, the developers opted for nodal advancements, meaning you point-and-click your way through certain paths that lead to different points. Additionally, there are non-player characters located throughout the world with which to converse and gather clues.
The airborne portion of the game involves navigating the not-so-friendly skies in the TF-22 TransFighter. Endowed with the AutoNav piloting system, the aircraft will pretty much fly itself anywhere you need it to go. There is a catch, however. While enemy aircraft are hovering, you must fire the onboard weapons manually.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
