~Cyberia
Help obtained via an upload to the Cheet Sheets BBS.
~The Rig
The Rig is your first stop in Cyberia. You will find yourself in the
Rig's docking bay. A door on the right leads to Gia and the Gunnery
Chair. The door on the left leads to a lift, which connects to the
hangar, where a Transfighter is ready.
HELP WITH GIA: When you meet Gia, she immediately tells you to
turn around and disarm your weapon. To avoid being killed, press
the left arrow key on your keyboard. If you hit any other key or
you take to long to react, you will be killed by Gia.
THE GUNNERY CHAIR: This is your first big challenge in Cyberia.
If you find that this section of the game is too difficult, you
may restart the game and choose a lower arcade difficulty level.
Pay attention to the six blue indicators on the control panel
display. (bottom middle of screen) These display hull damage to
the Rig which you are defending. If too much damage is sustained
to the Rig hull, it will be destroyed.
After successfully defending the Rig, Gia will congratulate you
and offer a kiss. To accept her kiss, press the up arrow key or
just wait. To decline, press the down arrow. Kissing Gia will
cause Santos to become jealous and you will be rendered unconscious
by a guard. There is no way to avoid this if you kiss Gia.
THE ELEVATOR: The elevator takes you from the upper dock to the
hangar. To operate the elevator, walk to the buttons in the corner
of the room. Your view will switch to a Visor View. Use the arrow
keys to move your hand over the Hangar button and press the space
bar to select it. The view will switch back to normal and you can
walk into the elevator and ride up to the hangar.
GUARDS: If you don't kiss Gia, you shouldn't have too much trouble
with any of the guards in the Rig, as long as you follow their
directions.
If you did kiss Gia, Santos is enraged and will order you killed.
After escaping from Santos, you will find your self in a warehouse.
Be sure to get the power pack for Santos' weapon before you go on.
In one of the rooms in the warehouse, you will find a ladder.
After climbing the ladder and walking down a ramp, there is a door
to the right which leads to the hangar. Once inside, you must
quickly lock the door behind you or a guard will open the door and
shoot you in the back. With the door locked, turn so you are facing
the crates by the door and walk towards it. The view will change,
showing you looking out from behind the crates. A guard is right
down the hall from you. As the guard begins to walk towards your
position the view changes back to a normal walking view. To fire
your weapon, push the right arrow key to raise your weapon and
press the space bar to fire. To be successful, you must wait until
the guard is raising his weapon before you fire. If you shoot too
early, you will miss and he'll kill you.
THE BOMB PUZZLE: There are three ways of disarming the bomb depending
on the puzzle difficulty level you have selected. The directions are
as follows:
LEVEL 1: First do an MRI test on the bomb by pressing F2. There are
seven switches in one row, of which only one switch is active, a
vibration sensor and an on/off switch. First toggle the vibration
sensor switch, then toggle the other active switch. Do not touch the
on/off switch.
LEVEL 2: First do an MRI test on the bomb by pressing F2. There are
seven switches in one row, a vibration sensor switch and an on/off
switch. First toggle the vibration sensor switch, then
toggle the fourth switch from the left, and then the second switch
from the left.
LEVEL 3: First do an MRI test on the bomb by pressing F2. There are
seven switches in one row, a vibration sensor switch and an on/off
switch. First toggle the vibration sensor switch, then toggle the
fourth switch from the left, and then the second switch from the
left. Now toggle the first switch on the right, (not the on/off
switch) then toggle the second switch from the right, and then the
third switch from the right.
~Transfighter Flying Sequences
OPEN OCEAN: This is the first Transfighter sequence. Your goal is to
destroy a large enemy ship by exploding it's fuel tank. Your target
will be designated by a blue target box. If you do not successfully
destroy this ship, your ship will be destroyed.
MILITARY ISLANDS: You must pass over a heavily guarded enemy
munitions dump on your way to destroy an important enemy submarine.
Destroy as many munitions buildings as possible along the way and
watch out for cruise missiles as you near the sub. Take careful aim
at the blue target box when you reach the sub. You must destroy it
or die.
NORWAY: This is the third Transfighter mission. Be alert for the
numerous tanks in the area as well as air defenses. A large
hovercraft will rise from behind the canyon walls midway through the
mission. It must be destroyed quickly or you will be toast.
ARCHANGEL MILITARY PORT: This is the fourth Transfighter mission.
Your goal here is to fly through the military port in order to reach
a freight tunnel through the mountains. Keep alert for numerous air
and ground defenses in the area. You will soon learn that the
entrance to the tunnel is shielded and you must disable the shield
generator. As you make your pass to make your attack, a large gun is
readied against you from behind the generator building. You must
destroy the generator building or you will be shot down by the gun.
FREIGHT TUNNEL: This is the fifth Transfighter mission. Your goal
here is to make it through the tunnel in one piece. Do not fire upon
the fuel trucks which are designated by blue target boxes. If you do,
you will destroy the truck, the tunnel, and everything inside...
including yourself.
ZUBROVSKA: This is the sixth Transfighter mission in which you must
reach a refueling center. The trick to this mission is to be very
accurate with your shots in the beginning of the mission, using as
little weapon energy as possible, so you can have it available when
things get hectic. Try firing individual shots instead of holding the
trigger down. The hardest part of this mission comes near the end,
when three fast enemy planes attack with missiles. Pay close
attention where each of these planes appears on the screen, then go
back and try to anticipate the arrival of each; readying your
controller a moment before each one appears. Once you pass this
point, be sure not to shoot the helicopter which passes as your
Transfighter lands, or the resulting explosion will destroy you.
ICE CANYONS: The seventh Transfighter mission is a very difficult
mission. The most difficult aspect of the mission is to save enough
shield and weapon power to defeat the huge enemy attack plane at the
end of the mission. To do this you should try to shoot each enemy
aircraft as soon as it is targeted with just one shot. After you make
a sharp turn over the water, after battling two enemy helicopters,
two targets will appear on the right side, one shortly after the
other. You must destroy these ships quickly or suffer major damage to
your fighter.
SPACE SEQUENCE: This difficult sequence requires perseverance and the
memorization of target locations. Try to anticipate the arrival of
each enemy target, readying your cross-hairs at the proper location
moments before the target actually comes into range. Being merged
with the Cyberia weapon, you will have an unlimited supply of weapon
energy...fire away!

~` A SUMMARY OF ARCADE DIFFICULTY LEVELS
~` -------------------------------------
The Arcade difficulty level you set when first starting Cyberia
adjusts the accuracy required for making hits on enemy units. The
easy setting displays large target boxes, making enemy ships much
easier to hit. Target boxes reduce in size as difficulty level
increases.
