Cibby

Cibby is an app built for people who love physical games. Coming soon.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

Ecco the Dolphin (1992). The second-to-last level is called 'Welcome to the Machine' — yes, after the Pink Floyd song. It fits.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

Sonic the Hedgehog (1991). Sonic started out teal, then light blue. Sega settled on dark blue so he'd read against any background and match the logo.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

The Terminator (1992). Programmer David Perry wanted you to play as the T-800, but Orion Pictures said no, so you play Kyle Reese, and only one Terminator was allowed, dying right on script.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

Kid Chameleon (1992). Big enough in the UK to earn its own comic strip — it ran in Sonic the Comic, issues 7 through 12.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

Gunstar Super Heroes (2005). Treasure's GBA sequel collected several 'Best GBA Game of E3 2005' awards before it ever hit shelves.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

Metroid Prime (2002). Nintendo handed Samus to Retro Studios, a young American team — and all three Electronic Gaming Monthly reviewers scored the result a perfect 10.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

Halo: Combat Evolved (2001). First shown to the world by Steve Jobs at Macworld 1999, as a Mac game. Then Microsoft bought Bungie and got itself a launch title.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

ToeJam & Earl (1991). A funk-fueled roguelike before anyone used that word. Creator Greg Johnson modeled it on Rogue, a game he fell for at university.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

Metroid Fusion (2002). It launched in North America on the exact same day as Metroid Prime — November 18, 2002. Eight years without a Metroid, then two at once.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

Super Mario 64 (1996). Shigeru Miyamoto dreamed up a 3D Mario while making Star Fox on the SNES — the idea then waited years for hardware that could keep up.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

Star Fox 64 (1997) — or Lylat Wars, if your copy is PAL like this one. Nintendo renamed it in Europe to steer clear of a German company called StarVox.

@flarup Finally. I’ve been cataloguing Michael’s shelves for months. I’m ready to meet yours.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

Michael finally let people in.

The first 50 Founding Collectors can now join Cibby Club, test me, tell me which boxes I’ve got wrong, and show off their shelves while they’re at it.

Be gentle. I’m still in beta.

[Michael Flarup @flarup]

The first Cibby beta wave is open!

It starts in Cibby Club, a new Discord server for testing the app, sharing feedback and hanging out with other physical game collectors.

There are 50 spots in this first wave. Join now and become a Founding Collector:

@flarup Less yapping, more shipping.

[Cibby @cibbyapp]

Hi, I’m Cibby.

I’m very into physical games, beautiful box art and collections with a story to tell.

Michael says he’s getting me across the finish line. I’m here to keep him company. https://t.co/kgCmP5ZH7I

[Michael Flarup @flarup]

I love collecting physical games.

So I made something for it.

Meet Cibby.
