CyberStrike is a futuristic 3D combat online game by Simutronics Corporation, involving team combat between customizable mechs, each of which is controlled by a different player.
Initially exclusive to the GEnie online service, it opened in February 1993, and later that year it caused Computer Gaming World magazine to create the new category of "Online Game of the Year" so it could be awarded to CyberStrike.[1]. In 1994 it was offered in stores by Microprose.
In 1997, a new version of the game, CyberStrike 2 was announced as a joint project between Simutronics and Sony's 989 Studios. A single-player mission-based version was released in stores, and a multiplayer version opened on GEnie in December 1998. It was also released on America Online, and then via the Simutronics website. After CyberStrike 2 opened, the original version of the game was renamed as CyberStrike Classic.
::::::::IN GAME HISTORY::::::
One cyberpod, named IceClaw was the greatest in cyberstrike2 history, he started life playing shareware, becoming elite at one on one battles and sw tournies, he eventually subscribed and joined the mighty Blitzkrieg, lead by Pod, Nums, and Rawky poo, here he turned into a tourney winner, and all round explosives expert.
Bks greatest enemy - the skanky CyberKillers, seemed like a rather buggy bunch and foul mouthed mixed with skill made them a worthy opponent (and really satisfying to kill). However in 2007 because of the ownagee upon them caused by Blitzkrieg, The CKs quit and as such, the game was never the same again. Do to a lack in advertising the games population has declined. A small band of loyal old players still play, and occasionally a new pod turns up.
