Cyber Lip is a game from a much less obscure company on a more common platform than many of my choices, but it still vanished in the arcade landscape. The game, a neo-geo contra-alike, was one of the first games on the platform, and thus got drowned out fairly quickly by Street Fighter and Final Fight clones. Cyber-Lip comes off as a less detailed Metal Slug precursor, or a cartoonier Contra. Some minor interest is provided by the surprisingly bleak ending, as well as the occasional branching path. However, Cyber Lip still comes off like a typical secondary launch title, soon to be forgotten as bigger and better games come along.
