Hello people,

Today I remembered this game again, having seen some screenshots of it in the old Gamemaster magazine years ago.
I always liked the cartoon graphics which reminded me a lot of SNES games such as Zombies and Big Sky Trooper.

Cyberpunks by Core Design was a sort of cartoon version of Alien Breed; an overhead shooter in which you had to kill all enemies.
In general it seems to have received good to average ratings but I never suspected it to have an impact on the Amiga market during its heydays, there simply were more complex games out.

Has anyone played this little game?
I am considering tracking it down as its the kind of rare and obscure game I like.

I remember this game from the reviews at the time, and from TV programs such as GamesMaster. But I don't think I ever played it. Maybe a coverdisk demo but I'm not sure. It definitely has the look and feel of a SNES game.

Have you ever seen it for sale somewhere Harrison?

BTW, I have also found Moonstone but 50GBP is quite a lot.

A boxed copy of Moonstone for £50 is quite a good price. It is very rare.

I've not seen a copy of Cyberpunks for sale, and not sure I ever did back in the day either.
