Cyril Cyberpunk is a platform game in which a young hero named Cyril Cyberpunk uses a flying board and a gun to stop an alien invasion. The invasion force is largely robotic, and largely consists of robotic teddy bears for some reason. The cyberboard can be used to flight upwards to reach higher ledges for as long as it has enough fuel. Originally developed by Apogee Software as a game called Cyberboard Kid, the game was sold to Reality Studios. Apogee never sold the game, but Reality Studios forgot to remove Apogee as the North American distrubutor on the ordering pages. The shareware version claims that the game is known as Cyberboard Kid in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, probably because Apogee had announced that they were making a game with that name, but it appears that the shareware and registered versions were sold as Cyril Cyberpunk worldwide. The game starts in the standard 320×200 VGA mode, but switches to a strange non-standard 288×223 resolution in-game, which isn't even a 4:3 aspect ratio. There are 32 levels in this game, with only the first 6 playable in the shareware version.
