Airships, later renamed Save Paris[1] and Save Cyber Paris!,[source needed] was an online Flash game exclusively published on the BBC's Cybus website, a promotional website set up in 2006 to promote the broadcast of the two-part story Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel. The game's conflict was based off the Preachers' war with the Cybermen in Pete's World.
Plot
Paris is controlled by the Cybermen and it's up to the people of N-Space to rescue civilians while destroying the Cybermen on the road by taking control of an Airship. Among the civilians are scientists, when they are rescued, the airship receives slight repairs, or the shots are more effective or stamina of these decreases. On your mission, you are guided by Mickey Smith.
Civilians are rescued in three stages (or levels), five, then seven, then fifteen. During the final level, flying bombs must be avoided, before the destruction of a building. The EMP or standard shots can destroy it it is written using the EMP. Once finished, a video is launched with Mickey saying: "You did it, you saved Paris. Goodbye!".
Controls
To move the airship, the arrows are needed. To rescue civilians, it must lower the ladder the using the spacebar. It is possible to destroy the cybermen with two ways, either by clicking the cursor in the direction of the Cybermen, firing an energy blast, or in the case of several cybermen use the EMP pulse using the E that destroys all the Cybermen in the are. It is possible to pause the game by pressing P, press H for help.

Continuity
- This game is a reference to the end of TV: The Age of Steel, where Mickey wonders "with all those Cyber factories out there, do you think they'll be one in Paris?". When Jake affirms, Mickey says, "Then, let's go and liberate Paris." Jake is sceptical but Mickey is eager to help out in the parallel Earth.
- GAME: Cyber Assault shows a different account of the liberation of Paris, in the game, Western Europe is Cyberman territory. In Cyber Assault, Base Attacks are used to destroy Emotional Inhibitors, a Preacher is sent to the factory and destroys the emotional inhibtor with his firearm, rather than transmitting the code. It is possible the Cybermen later retook Paris.
