CyberMaster was a Portuguese, challenge-based television show focused exclusively on Sega Saturn and Sega Mega Drive video games[5], jointly produced by Ecofilmes, MMM - Produtores Independentes S.A.[6][7] (a Portuguese tv production company founded in 1994[8] and dissolved in 1998[8] by Portuguese journalist José Eduardo Soares Moniz[7] who is currently the Vice-President[8] of the Portuguese professional football club Sport Lisboa e Benfica and also the Director[8] of the club's own tv channel Benfica TV, he held in the past several positions[9] on the board of Rádio e Televisão de Portugal as well as the position of General Director[8] at Televisão Independente), Astrolábio - Produção de Televisão, S.A.[10][6] (later Astrolábio Comunicação e Imagem[11], a renowned Portuguese TV production house, working in many Portuguese television shows for many broadcasters, founded in 1988[11] and dissolved in 2016[12][13] as Astrolábio - World Wide News - Comunicação & Imagem, Lda[14]), Valentim de Carvalho[15][16][17] (a renowned Portuguese record label, recording studio, and tv and movie production company) and the Portuguese public service broadcasting organisation Rádio e Televisão de Portugal, that aired every Saturday mornings, from December 2, 1995 to April 5, 1997 on Portuguese television channel RTP1.

Recorded at the Valentim de Carvalho television studios[18][19], in Paço de Arcos (Oeiras, Lisbon) and co-hosted by Portuguese fashion models Gabriela Luís[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] (Gabriela João Lourenço Luís[30][31], currently a pedriatic dentist[32] and also a writer of children's books[33][34], was born in 1975[35][36] and started her career as a model in the Portuguese modeling agency "Look Elite", which hired her at age eighteen after she finished second at the yearly fashion modeling event "Elite Model Look of the Year", during which time she had a short but successful career on Portuguese television as a host in the shows "Ver Para Ler" and "CyberMaster", on RTP2 and RTP1 television channels respectively, and also as the host of "Tampamania 97"[37], a contest tied to a marketing campaign created by PepsiCo in the summer of 1997 to promote its Pepsi and 7 Up brands of soft drinks, which was broadcast daily on RTP1 and was similar to other PepsiCo. campaigns held in the 80s and 90s in several countries, such as the "Numeromania"[38] campaign held in 1991 in Argentina and in 1995 in Spain[39] and Poland[40] or the 1992 campaigns "Nº Mania"[41] in Venezuela and the "infamous" and tragic "Pepsi Number Fever"[42], a.k.a. the "349 incident", in the Philippines) and Beto (Humberto[43][44][45][46][47][29]) in the roles of Princess Terra and her loyal cyborg Kronos and with João D'Ávila (stage name of Portuguese actor João António Trindade Lopes) appearing in pre-recorded inserts mocking players as the Evil CyberMaster and the commentaries of Portuguese voiceover legend José Coimbra (the voice of RTP and Portuguese radio Station RFM, he gave his voice to many Portuguese TV commercials of the time including many Sega commercials aired on Portuguese television) the show was based in challenges where game players would compete against one another.

Following a cyberpunk plot (a work of Portuguese journalist, television presenter, producer and scriptwriter Paulo Bastos[48][49], currently the host of the weekly TVI 24 science, technology and video gaming magazine programme "NXT - O próximo passo", he was the creator of "Cyber.Net"[50][51], in June 1995, the first Portuguese magazine dedicated to the Internet, which included one of the first, monthly digital publications of the World, called "Inter@Ivo", distributed in CD-ROM[50]) in which, in the not too distant future, mankind was enslaved[15] by an evil being called CyberMaster (João D'Ávila) which transformed them in emontionless machines, a group of rebels (the audience and the game players) led by Princess Terra (Gabriela Luís) and her loyal cyborg Kronos (Beto), hidding in their top-secret base located in the undergrounds of the city of Lisbon, organized a video game contest once a week, to elect the best of four game players, which would serve in the elite army that would fight the evil CyberMaster, all of this under the encouraging war cry "Ar!"..."Ar!"..."Ar!"... ("Air!"... "Air!"... "Air!"... forced to live underground, freedom and fresh air were their motivation and ultimate goal).

Four game players, wearing black outfits with colored (Green,Yellow, Red and Blue) collars and cuffs competed under their chosen nicknames, in four preselected games with the two players with the best scores classifying for the final, competing on a fifth game, held in a special domelike area of the studio called "Arena do CyberMaster" ("CyberMaster's Arena").

The winners of the contest were rewarded with a Sega Saturn and the rest of the participants received a Sega Mega Drive II as a consolation prize during which time Princess Terra, following the plot of the show, would say farewell to the defeated players, wishing them good luck and warning them, with her deepest sorrow that once they left the base, she could no longer protect them from the claws of the evil CyberMaster, which would easily spot and hunt them, and offering them a Sega Mega Drive II for their protection was the best she could do for them.

In the second season of the show, after the departure of Portuguese actor João D'Ávila (CyberMaster) who was replaced in the role by Portuguese actor António Montez[52], and co-host Beto (Kronos the cyborg), replaced by Portuguese fashion model Bruno Reis playing a cyborg whose sole purpose was to entertain the audiences, Portuguese fashion model and businesswoman Karina Barbosa[53][54][55][56][57][29][58] (Ana Karina Barbosa Garcia de Carvalho[59]), currently CEO[60][61] of Angolan Modeling agency "STEP Models" which she founded in 2001, was hired to co-host the show in the role of a female cyborg (married[62] with Angolan rapper Emanuel de Carvalho Nguenohame a.k.a. Big Nelo Karina was born[63][64] in Alcântara, Lisbon, Portugal to Bissau-Guinean[63] parents on June 12, 1972[59] and has a degree in Public Relations and Advertising which later paved the way for her successful career in the entertainment industry and as the first runner-up[65][66] of Portugal's first "Elite Model Look of the Year"[61] competition in 1993[63], Karina started a successful career as a model[63][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76] in Portugal, that earned her the title of "The Portuguese Naomi"[77][78], and later led her to the small screen[79][80] as the host[61] of a weekly African music TV Show called "Made in África"[81] for the Portuguese national TV channel, RTP1 and to other acting jobs in Portuguese tv shows such as, the sitcom "As Lições do Tonecas" and the sketch comedy show "Herman Enciclopédia", after[64] her debut on TV in the show CyberMaster).

The black outfits used by the contestants were also changed for colored sleeveless jackets featuring the new RTP1 logo introduced on Monday April 29, 1996 (On September 17, 1990, RTP1 was renamed to RTP Canal 1[82] and had a logo that consisted of a permanent, opaque and coloured DOG which was stylized as "C·1" and was stamped on the black outfits), and short Sega video game previews called "Cyber News" were screened between challenges.
