Cyberbykes: Shadow Racer VR is a 1995 motorcycle racing game developed by Artificial Software and published by GameTek.[1]

Plot

[edit]

Cyberbykes is a futuristic motorcycle racing game with car combat elements. It takes place in a dystopian future wherein a group called the World Treaty Organization (WTO) has gained power throughout the world, stockpiling weapons in the process. The player combats the WTO with an armed "cyberbyke" vehicle.[2]

Reception

[edit]

In PC Gamer US, Steve Poole offered Cyberbykes a negative review, writing, "The single-player game is a bust, and there are plenty of games with network support that are more fun than this."[1] Computer Game Review was similarly negative: the game has "not one shred of originality in game play, design or plot," the reviewers said.[2] Writing for Computer Gaming World, Peter Olafson compared the game unfavorably to other racing titles on the market, and called it "rather woeful and dated".[4] PC Zone's Charlton Brooker was harsher still, giving the game a "Pants" award and calling it "horrid".[3]
