It&#8217;s a format with the extension .c93 that was used in the DOS game <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/dos\/cyberia\"><em>Cyberia<\/em><\/a> published by Interplay. The game was also published for the Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and 3DO. I wager that the first 2 ports made use of each respective console&#8217;s standard APIs while there is an outside chance that the 3DO version used this same format.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/dos\/cyberia\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/eggs\/images\/cyberia-title.gif\" alt=\"Cyberia Title Screen\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Screenshot courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobygames.com\">MobyGames<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>According to my master spreadsheet, I have, not 1, but 2 copies of <em>Cyberia<\/em> in my collection.
