Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase is the fourth of a series of direct-to-video animated films based upon the Scooby-Doo Saturday morning cartoons. It was released on October 9, 2001, and it was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and distributed by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. It features the Mystery, Inc. gang, which includes Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Freddy, Daphne and Velma.
A video game based on this film was made by THQ for the Sony Playstation.
This is the first direct-to-video movie to have the flatter, bright animation style of the new TV series, departing from the darker shading and effects used in the three prior released movies. It is also the first Scooby-Doo movie to slightly return to the original format where the monster isn't real. In this case, the monster is basically a computer virus created by someone.

[edit] Plot
The gang visits Fred's friend Eric at Eric's college. Eric invited them because he made a computer game based on their adventures using a high-tech laser. They arrive at the same time as a new creature called the "Phantom Virus" is causing mayhem. During one of its scare runs, the gang and the virus are beamed into a ten level video game. They had a few people to pick up: the professor, a baseball-loving programmer, and a nosy security guard.
To get through the level, they have to find Scooby Snacks, or Scooby Snax.
They end up at the Moon where the Phantom Virus attacks them with Moon Ghosts. The second level includes the Phantom Virus unleashing Zombie Gladiators and a lion at the Coliseum in Rome. The third level includes dinosaurs. The fourth level includes an underwater level with sharks. The fifth includes a backyard where they are attacked by ants. The sixth includes a samurai era. The seventh includes an Egyptian Tomb with mummies. The eighth includes medieval times. The ninth is the North Pole.
At the tenth level, the gang discover cyber-version of themselves (based on how they looked in the original "Scooby-Doo, Where are You!" series) at a Malt-Shop. They help the gang deal with the Phantom Virus and the guardians of the last box of 'Scooby-Snax' boxes - which are monsters that the gang had faced before: Jaguaro, Gator Ghoul, The Tar Monster, Old Iron Face, and The Creeper...all of them are real in this game, whereas originally in reality, they were people in costume. After a chase through the amusement part to the arcade, they find the Scooby Snax box there. Scooby-Doo and his cyber-twin defeat the Phantom Virus. Back in their real world the gang, using the Phantom Virus's "baseball" terms, unmasked his creator, Bill, who was upset that his game wasn't picked, since he been at the college longer than Eric.
