I like to make up little stories about weird things in video games, and that barrel throwing cyborg got me going. Evil Boss "You're telling me we spent fifty billion dollars and ten years of R&D and human trials to create a cyborg that carries barrels into combat and throws them?" Underling "No boss, that's absurd!" Evil Boss "Oh, thank goodness." Underling "The cyborg can't CARRY the barrels himself, so we pair him up with another cyborg that hands them off to him to throw." The End.
How is it a good ending when aliens were the ones that corrupted the supercomputer and caused it and the android army to go haywire. You're then duped into wiping them out, inadvertently destroying mankind's last line of defense, paving the way for the aliens to take over without resistance.
@@jackylee5850 That's what makes it a good ending, the fact that it subverts your expectations. It's pretty creepy and a terrifying thought that you helped the bad guys win. Honestly, for the era, its a great ending.
SNK needs to give us a sequel to this someday. Cyber-Lip II: Save The Earth. The twist ending if the first was a perfect setup for it. With the robots and Cyber-Lip defenses wiped out, it would be alien vs humans. I wonder what that would look like. Seeing how the Alien Colony level is one of the best looking levels in the game, I'd bet it would look great.
what retro stuff hasn't (artificially)? all thanks to grading, hyping and insider trading. same sh*t happened in the 80s with coins, in the 90s with comics...now this, until the bubble bursts and the vultures move on to the next thing.
Ah, I REMEMBER this game ... fuzzy memories. It's the background at 4:00 which I really remember. The way the "ribs" curve upward that I remember so much. For some reason, I never realized that this was supposed to be the inside of cylindrical space colony (like Gundam). I just thought it was a weird artistic choice to try and convey perspective and distance.
Level 6 looks beautiful. I must agree with your assessment that the game is otherwise unremarkable. It probably would have been really cool to play back then though since it was before Metal Slug graced the world.
I cant believe that it took a cartridge the size of vcr tape to hold this game and a cost of $200 to buy it. Games have evolved to a point beyond imagination....
@@Tony-1971 : ( I'm from USA and it shows up either searching "Cyber-Lip", or in the whole list of ACA NEOGEO games by typing "Neogeo" in search. Do you have any Neogeo games at all available? Xbox has them here too, and they would show up there first most of the time, and they have about 10-20 more total available. If you have any Neo games available, hopefully they get Cyber-Lip too you eventually.........and if you have a Switch or Xbox check there too.
@@DigitalHaze65536 Ah! that explains it. The game will be available in your country, but not in mine. Yeah we have a fair few neogeo games, but definitely no Cyber-lip on there. I might set up an American account, If that's sill possible. I remember seeing people uploading videos showing peeps how to create foreign psn accounts so they could get games from other countries.
Game companies don't tend to bother doing copyright strikes on game OSTs. Normally just record labels (so something like Crazy Taxi would very likely get striked).
So if your character and his boss are the real villains, why is Cyber Lip seemingly building his army from the Skynet and HR Giger guide book? Can't say you wouldn't win a few battles if you unleashed machine gun Xenomorph on your enemy but it doesn't make you look good to anyone else.
Does Neo-Geo look better than genesis and SNES? Yes. Does it look/play better ENOUGH to cost $499 and be $149 a game? FUCK NO. What the hell were they thinking? I remember being at Toys R Us in like 1992 and asking my dad if there was any chance, he just laughed in my face.

Used to play this game back in 94 with my dad feeding me quarters. Totally forgot about it till now
This game had such a good ending, didn't expect it when I first saw the ending. Too bad they never made a sequel where you save the Earth.
I guess there is no saving earth, its game over in both literal&metaphorical sense.

Early SNK games had a thick layer of melancholia to them for some reason.
I mean, it's possible the player's soldier is one of the red eyed aliens too, and "ours" included him.

That sequel was Contra.
Contra predates Cyber-Lip by three years, but sure, let's go with that.
@@videogameobsession true, in that case Cyber-lip was the prequel
Jaw-dropping visuals.
An early title that always amazed me.
And that plot twist is just ace! :-P
i cracked a smile when watching it!
The hero of the game was working for the villain? Is that it?
Gotta love the guy at 4:40. In a future time with space travel and androids, he (also an android) chooses to throw barrels and cackle maniacally.
This game really has risen in value something fierce.

I coin-fed through this around 1992-ish at my local bar. ending caught me off guard, lol.

can't have a proper 90s sci-fi game from japan without some o'neill type cylinder colony. I wonder if there's a complete list somewhere out there...
Ribs???
This was essentially a launch game for the system in the US, totally overshadowed by the later releases and - of course - the Metal Slug series.
Siempre me gusto el diseño artistico de esta clase de juegos.
I think I remember seeing this game at a restaurant somewhere (pizza Hut?) when I was a kid. So many memories.
Still play this on my Neo geo
Level 6 looks beautiful. I must agree with your assessment that the game is otherwise unremarkable. It probably would have been really cool to play back then though since it was before Metal Slug graced the world.
"I am not insain"
Only an "INSAIN" person would say that
Def Metal Slug / Contra vibes. Cool game
This game is about 4MB, looks great and plays great. I miss these.
10MB uncompressed data on the cart...but yeah, I miss more straightforward, less bloated software development.
I remember playing this game ones at an arcade at holday with my parents when I was a kid.
The Explosion Sprites are identical to the ones found in EightMan for the Neo Geo. Still an almighty quality game tho.
The one console I would dearly love to own......if I was a millionaire
man get a unico neo geo mvsx and the hylox hack - i got one a couple months ago and it's siiiiiick
You still have the emulation option too.
This game was less than $75.00 for the aes in 2003. You were just born too late
@@jerryinohio1978 definitely not born too late, my first ever game was pong
Ce scénario de science fiction à l'époque pourrai un jour devenir réalité.
it has that 80s Capcom Jamma look and feel
I cant believe that it took a cartridge the size of vcr tape to hold this game and a cost of $200 to buy it. Games have evolved to a point beyond imagination....
great playability , great game, only a little short. but one of the best on neo geo.
SNK has always had good music
Killer game !
They should release this in the arcade archives collection. Its awesome.
@Keith Courage RX-78-2
Its not on PS4.
@@Tony-1971 it's called ACA NEOGEO they have about 90 neo games on PS4. Cyberlip IS ON PS4!!
@@DigitalHaze65536
That's odd. I haven't seen it. Maybe its not available in Europe.

Back in the 90's when it was totally acceptable for your game title to just be a random assortment of letters or words
Beautiful game.
SICK DOPE ending
WOW!, 👌😄 Nice classical RETRO game... ✨🎮 ✌😍 thanks. 🍀🌹
Question to the creator as a fellow creator: How do you get around some of the audio copyright on your vids? Just curious
Game is 30 years old...I doubt anyone cares
Game companies don't tend to bother doing copyright strikes on game OSTs. Normally just record labels (so something like Crazy Taxi would very likely get striked).
@@jeffreynowak8866 You will be surprised!!! But I have now figured out how to get around it.
OMG that ending!
What a good twist
It’s annoying that you can’t shoot diagonally
Interesting that this game actually predates Contra III by a year.
2:30 why?
A criminally overlooked classic. Meanwhile they give Metal Slug all the credit. 🤬
Metal slug was better than this
Even Ikari Warriors and Shock Troopers are overshadowed by Metal Slug!
So I saw where someone picked this on Nick Arcade in a video challenge. This shows that 30 seconds was not enough time to get 4600 points.
The G-Man's forbear?
So if your character and his boss are the real villains, why is Cyber Lip seemingly building his army from the Skynet and HR Giger guide book? Can't say you wouldn't win a few battles if you unleashed machine gun Xenomorph on your enemy but it doesn't make you look good to anyone else.
Your character was tricked, the president is an Alien, and disguised himself.
Kind of like the Contra
Yes
mamasita
Culazo... :F
Game by Metal Slug creators yet you say it's a Contra clone.
If only Contra was this good
Try Contra Hard Corps best Contra in its history.
contra in better, this one dont even have diagonal shoot
@@SAWmacaco contra is crappy
@@greenheart5334 it’s ok
The only thing that make Contra well known was it's 8-way shooting, hardcore difficulty, and unforgettable soundtrack.
Looking like midnight resistance
Those background layers are pretty cool. I wonder if they could be repurposed for OpenBOR?
Does Neo-Geo look better than genesis and SNES? Yes. Does it look/play better ENOUGH to cost $499 and be $149 a game? FUCK NO. What the hell were they thinking? I remember being at Toys R Us in like 1992 and asking my dad if there was any chance, he just laughed in my face.
Wow. Reminds me of Terminator/Journey to Silius.
You must be using a unibios and it's on super easy
Hope this make it to psn
it's called ACA NEOGEO they have about 90 neo games on PS4. Cyberlip IS ON PS4!!
@@DigitalHaze65536 thanks I'll check it out.
@@DigitalHaze65536 thank I bought it. Cyberlip n Nam.
@@wasabi-in-my-eye3134 nice choices!
This is fuckin amazing
RUclips is amazing somtimes...we would never see/play these games and emulators are hard to find if you dont into computers nowadays.
How many times did James Cameron and John Carpenter influence Japan?
UP-DOWN-DOWN-UP
That first boss...
UUUUGH.
No diagonal shot, oof.
Poor mans Contra...
today, even Contra is poor mans, so it doesnt matter.
Considering its on the Neo, its technically the rich mans Contra
@@robertcanady5028 Spoiled kid Contra.
Esse jogo me lembra Contra e Turrican
Best ending to a game ever? Best ending to a game.
Biónic Commando meets Contra.
Dude check out what SNK did. Similar game!
メタルスラッグの元ゲーム？
itu tytyd
Neo geo had great games but over price
この時のSNKのゲームはしきりにバッドエンディングにしたがってたな。
So nintendo copied that game to create Contra 3:The alien wars
Nintendo? Maybe you want to say Konami...
He runs slower than me!
one of the worst Neo Geo games. Very squalid, ugly graphics and animation, horrible ending
