Arcade Longplay [188] Cyberlip

[@KarlSturmgewher]

CyberLip needs to a sequel, the heroes need to find the alien that impersonated their superior!

[@aaronbruceladner1983]

CYBER-LIP 2!

[@jasonmoran5152]

that twist ending surprised me back in the day!

[@djmars1983]

Agreed

What a creepy and unexpected end... gives me chills...

[@zukoulou7464]

Yes, you are right !

[@robertcummings1971]

Neo Geo's version of contra 3!

[@SalDOWN]

It looks very cool!

[@videogameobsession]

It predates Contra III by a couple of years. Cyber-Lip (SNK) 1990 Contra III (Konami) 1992

[@hammadahmad100]

Even Contra on original NES has a faster gameplay. Only thing that beats Contra to dust is Metal Slug. But still Cyber Lip is a cool Run n Gun it’s own domain.

[@figment1988]

One tongue in cheek ad which gave this game infamy. There was also different variants which replaced the Cyber-lip screenshot with those for Ninja Combat, and Magician Lord IIRC

[@Eshaktaar]

Even though I slightly question their usefulness, cybernetic lips seem to be the future.

[@adamwebb8114]

Still my favorite NEO GEO game of all time, although I never understood the UP and DOWN after stages- pretty sure these stages always line up this way

[@ChrisNeufeldMusic]

25:13 “The Earth is ours!” ...Or is it? 😬

[@darrenclements6028]

Cyber Lip is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and AWESOMELY AMAZING 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@adrianodiasbispo9275]

O 99Vidas 358 - 4×4: Blazing Star, Crossed Swords, Cyber-Lip e Magician Lord me trouxe até aqui. O jogo parece ser muito bom e gostaria de ter jogado na época.

[@Shendu1010]

This game is so cool.

[@Renzo-cn4zw]

This is one of my favorite neo geo games ever made along with metal slug 1

[@hastypixels]

Almost as epic as "The president was kidnapped by ninjas."

[@MrsWhiterock]

Ah, I knew there's more about this guy^^ The gameplay reminds me of Metal Slug, but the bosses here are far more disgusting...

[@von2300]

actually the same guys who made this game went on to make metal slug.

[@aodhablackheart]

Who? I don't see any of the same names. The guys who made this also made Riding Hero, and that was shit.

[@videogameobsession]

It's true. Some of the developers who worked on Cyber-Lip were from Irem, who of course went on to form Nazca (Metal Slug series, Neo Turf Masters). The names of Japanese developers are often masked (AKA "HIYA! JIM" "OK Goo", "Crazy Love") Most Japanese publishers enforced this rule in order to keep headhunters from offering their developers better salary to lure them away. Atari also neglected to credit their developers for the same reason. A few Atari employees disliked that rule and left to form Activision, the very first 3rd party publisher, where they not only credited each and every developer with their full name, but also had a full page bio on them with a photo as well.

[@Rtype90mk2]

@@videogameobsession But the team that left Irem to form Nazca were still at Irem in 1990, up until Irems bankruptcy in 1994, that's why they formed Nazca. As for Cyberlip it's a 100% SNK joint.

[@videogameobsession]

Some of them were from Irem. Keep in mind that they were up to over 200 employees. By 1994 they were a skeleton crew. I can't tell you their names, but this has been a "known thing" since the early 90's, and was confirmed in an issue of Neo•Geo Freak, IIRC. It said something to the effect of Cyber-Lip having help from some devs who worked on Moon Patrol. I also think it was answered several years ago in an issue of Retro Gamer Magazine. "It is noted that a handful of members from Irem developed this title and later went on to create Metal Slug."

[@Rtype90mk2]

@@videogameobsession Good point. I did hear some ex Irem employees (presumably the same guys who worked on Cyber Lip) also worked on Last Resort. I have to find that Neo Geo Freak issue online and read it myself. Sounds like an interesting read. Thanks for the info.

[@bootblacking]

14:08 Totally Not Contra

[@NashTheBlade]

In other words "You Dun Goofed"

[@MYP-k1u]

El Robocop de Neo Geo

[@RetroJu]

Lol la fin comment je m'y attendais pas😂. Il est sympa ce jeu je le préfére à Contrat 3 perso.

[@daveincognito]

Wasn't the earth already screwed, what with the rampaging androids and bioweapons? I'm not sure what that twist does besides say another presumably evil group got their hands on it.

[@Aztyph]

Cyber-Lip (i.e. the final boss) was originally meant to safeguard humanity against potential alien invaders. This ending is heavily implying that a group of aliens managed to hack Earth's defense system so that it targeted humanity instead, and then presumably sent an alien onto Earth undetected to replace the President once everything was in order. From there, it was a matter of turning Cyber-Lip and its army against Earth, and having the "President" state that Cyber-Lip needed to be destroyed instead of repaired, in order to complete eliminate any serious obstacles that could stop them.

[@videogameobsession]

This is correct, except that part about them sending an alien down to mimick the president. He was an android. Which was also "evilly reprogrammed" by the aliens. This is why his eyes glow red at the end, just like a Terminator T-800.

[@eugenehills8371]

12:00 next round building round 5 Nick Arcade fire 🔥🔥 weapon 🔫 destroy them Alien 👾👾 bazooka mission complete

[@oopopp]

I'm the bad guy??

[@redbutterflyprincessgeanne4620]

I got it yesterday.

[@abm5314]

It's a decent game I don't understand why this game worth 500$ to 900$ What is this world coming to?

[@JudgmentStorm]

An MVS one is cheaper if it's cart only (I've seen $170). The Neo-CD version has gotten a little expensive, around $250-300.

[@roning3r3]

619taken I payed $80. for it on the mvs. And that was for the full kit a few years ago. Unfortunately all the Neo Geo games are going for more than they are worth.

[@vadikmusic1896]

Interesting game. What emulator did you use?

[@EditKingNumber5]

the other early neo geo game

[@MrsWhiterock]

That's interesting. I didn't know that.

[@paburo-san6667]

Parece un poco al Metal Slug

[@__dINe__]

i used to love that "ready, go" entry as a kid, now it is just cringe..

[@Lu_Ciel.]

I still love it!

[@notkimpine]

the first level of the game kinda reminds me of contra 3.

[@videogameobsession]

I agree, Contra III copied them. :)

[@jonathanVera]

Me recuerda a Metal Slug

[@Alianger]

Any alternate endings?

[@GamerGee]

Only one ending

[@mystyle_jm8997]

Unless Cyberlip have a sequel, it's hard to tell.

[@johnnycarnevale]

Looks a little slow moving tbh

[@EberHeim22231]

Eberlip

[@justahuman4862]

Huntdown has similar graphics. New game ,check it out

[@patrickdecarvalho4754]

This looks more like a genesis game than neo geo....

[@saigancat]

+Patrick Decarvalho It was a launch window release and didn't age very well.

[@tyruiiederttree3074]

+Patrick Decarvalho Are u crazy?

[@paburo-san6667]

I think it looks very well for being released in 1990. It might even seem developed later

[@WiperXXL]

wowwwwww

[@AlfioGarrone]

Metal Slug was better!
