A Cybercon is threatening peace in the universe (and it’s not an American president). You’re asked to stop it, armed with a cutting-edge electromechanical suit, adorned with multicoloured, flashing diodes. I would’ve preferred Ellen Ripley’s construction mech, with the rotating light on its head…
Seriously, I found a manual, I read it carefully. It’s full of acronyms and incomprehensible jargon. You have to use the joystick, the arrow keys, the “F1” to “F10” keys, the number pad, and the “<” and “>” keys (wherever they are on a Qwerty keyboard). In-game, the controls respond with beeps and cabalistic icons. I couldn’t even manage to get my driving licence, so what am I supposed to do with this?
It’s apparently a 3D exploration game, mixing puzzles, combat, and … platforming. Yeah, right…
Can I skip this one? Who wants to deal with it?
While you’re at it, do Warhead for me.
