Does anyone still make software for these awesome things anymore? I found my old one lying around...

I don't think so. but this cybiko talk has inspired me to dig mine out. I have 3--and between the three of them, I think I swapped enough parts to get one working right. It could use new batteries--perhaps an AAA battery mod is in order--it may even have enough room for 4, which would give me 1600mah.

I wonder if the loader's even supported yet (since cybiko.com is still there). I don't have a serial cable (haven't found it yet) so it's pointless for me to try right now.

this is the best game links I've found:

I know I'm a little late getting into the action, but cybasic looks pretty easy and the system is actually rather powerful for being so easy to develop for. I may try something *small and simple* once I locate my serial cable. We're talking "hello world", 'worm eats dots' complex.

I'm slightly wanting a cybiko extreme now. Looks like they go for about $20 shipped. Much more power (18 mhz) and enough storage to make a really large game. If only they had given it just a handful of colors on screen.

Cybiko is about where I want my C64dtv project to go. (once I actually purchase a DTV unit to work on) Keyboard low, joystick middle, screen high. perfect portable computer. Of course the cybiko is about 10x faster than a C64 and the extreme unit is at least 18x...
