Cybernoid is considered extremely difficult to beat. You can only take one hit before you die, and you have only 9 lives. In this run I make use of all given weapons to save time. These are the weapons at your disposal:
  • Bombs: Fires a missile. Good for blowing stuff up. This weapon is used several times.
  • Shield: Makes you invulnerable for a short period of time. This weapon is very useful.
  • Genocide: Kills all enemies that are currently on the screen. This weapon is only used once.
  • Bouncers: Fires several bouncing balls from your ship. Good for destroying green bricks.
  • Seekers: A homing missile. You cannot choose which target it's gonna hit, it always hits the enemies on the screen in a certain order. Quite a useful weapon, it's used a few times in the run.
You will notice that I die a few times in the run. This is because when you die, you get all ammo for your weapons back. And especially "shield" needs new ammo now and then because you only have one charge per life. To put things short, it's simply faster to die at some places and get all your ammo back, than to keep going without any ammo for certain weapons.
As closure, I can say that this game is not considered to be very good. It's really hard though, that's why I think that those who have played this game will enjoy this run. I try to fly close to enemies now and then to spice things up a little.
There is no music in this game, which is really bad. So put on some good music while watching this run, it will probably make it more entertaining to watch! :)
Even though the game is not very good, I hope you'll find this run fun to watch. Either way, those of you who've played this game will now finally see it get owned! If you haven't played this game I suggest you try it out sourself. Enjoy the movie!

adelikat: Rejecting, sorry man - good run, bad game.
