Cyberion
|
| First Impression |
I downloaded it from the link on Pete's QBoard, and first, I thought I was doomed from playing it, because the sound wouldn't work right, and freeze me, so for once, I read the readme.txt file. Since the sound is turned off with F4, I go back to playing the game. This is a cool game. Auurrgghh! I wish I knew why the controls of the space ship keep turning when I'm not even touching a key. I got used to the movement, and it's not so much as it being difficult to control, but more like impossible to control the ship. I did, however got to land on a planet, but I never got to land on a Cyberion Landing. Ok, I give up, this game is difficult. :P

| What It's Like |
Well, this is a good strong point. It has a mixture of Asteroids, and Lander, but that's all I've encountered with playing this game. The game has non-scrolling backgrounds, and you move map to map, or screen to screen. You also have to avoid asteroids and find stocks, but I've had the worst luck playing this game.

| Other things you should know |
The sound may not work properly on your computer, but give it a try.
I don't know what it is, but if someone can tell me what or why the space ship keeps turning around sometimes, and sometimes, ONLY rotating, when I hold left or right down. What's extrememly irritating is the ship still keeps moving in circles, when I'm even away from the keyboard. :P Through out this game, I had to "circle maneuver" through obstacles.

| The rating |
| Graphics |
The game graphics are mediocre, and can be optimized, but I believe this game, is using <= 16 colors. I'm not a really big fan of games using colors under 16 colors, but there are games, like Monospace that know how to get away with it. :)

| Sound |
There is sound, but I can't judge it, since sound is the biggest problem with QB games. I'm sure it will work on other computers, but not on mine, unfortunately. :(

| Flexibility/Features |
Features are nice, like how a game is mixed with other old classic games. As for flexibility, it's really hard to say. :P

| Gameplay/Control |
This is the worst part about Cyberion. It would be nice if I knew what I was supposed to do from keeping the ship rotating forever.

| Overall Impression |
Honestly, I was really mostly irritated with the ship having a mind of its own. I really should be fair for Cyberion, but it's not that I want to give it a low score, it's just there was nothing in the readme.txt file explaining why the ship sometimes rotates on its own. :(
