Cybiko - Turning Japanese

In a satirical take on Japanese advertising (and an homage to The Simpsons Mr. Sparkle), the Cybiko device was introduced to pique the interest of teens and pre-teens in the days before cell phone ubiquity.

I hate it when my penis turns into a hand holding a Cybiko. It's so awkward when I'm with a woman. :/ They always want to play the racing game or send a wireless message.

I had one of those way back when. The world was a much better place when you had a BASIC interpreter and a C compiler in your pocket.

Haha! What a blast from the past! I was one of only 2 artist that worked for Cybiko. We pretty much did all the designs for the games and apps for that thing. I got a job straight out of art school. I think I still have a working Cybiko Xtreme somewhere in my studio.
