CYBOTRON
Anirog, £7.95 cass, one or two joysticks
|
This
superb clone of Robotron 2084 has all the features
and excitement of the Williams original.
You
are the Cybotron, a mutant human in the not-too-distant
future. Robots have taken over the earth and are hunting
down the last remains of the human race. It's up to
you to save them all, while blasting the robots to kingdom
come.
When
you start you are presented with a screen filled with
robots, your Cybotron, and two humans wandering about.
Pick up the humans by running over them and blast the
robots, while avoiding the obstacles littered around
the screen.
You
control the game using either one or two joysticks.
Two gives true arcade feel -- one is used for movement
and the other to direct your laser stream. Using one
joystick will make the Cybotron fire in the direction
he's moving.
The
graphics are almost identical to, but slightly larger
than the original. The high score table is excellent,
with the facility of storing 100 top scorers just like
the original. The sound, too, is similar to its bigger
brother, with the right sort of blasting and zapping
noises.
There're
100 waves to challenge your reflexes and dexterity to
the outmost, and even by wave 10 the going starts to
get very hefty!
