History Recap / MightyMaxS2E6TheCyberskullVirus

* PacManFever: Generally it's not ''too'' far off of a general idea of what video games of the 90's were like (overly macho heroes slaying monsters with goofy-looking melee weapons for no real reason, getting superpowers from random things like junk food). Virgil saving the day by tapping in complex calculus on the inputs of an arcade game with a joystick and six buttons is a little much, though.

* ActorAllusion: Kind of an obscure one, but the disgruntled game designer who becomes Cyberskull's voiced by Danny Goldman, who also voiced [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs Brainy Smurf]], another egocentric "genius" with delusions of grandeur. If a much, much more benign one than Cyberskull.

* TronLines: Landscapes in the video game are covered with them.

* BerserkButton: Cyberskull's enraged by being called "average" or treated like just another nerd. Since he had his life's work stolen by somebody else, it's almost understandable.

* FictionalVideoGame: "Dementoids", a mid-90's virtual reality rig. After Kurtz becomes Cyberskull he turns the entire world into the likeness of the game.
