Player's Review

"Galvan the sole surviving member of the Cosmo Police, your imperative assignment is to eliminate all adversaries in the underground Techno Caverns of the planet Cynep. They are inhabited by many Androids, Robots and Alien Lifeforms; your task would seem impossible were it not for the Power Pyramids scattered at random through the complex labyrinth."

Another arcade conversion. The game has two stages each with a boss battle at the end. Afterwards the game loops round and you go through it all again with higher difficulty. Other than that, the game is endless.

The game feels fairly short as the labyrinth isn't all that big and you can reach the bosses from either side of the map. Scattered throughout the map are power pyramids that upgrade your armour and weapon for a short time. If you lose the armour then you have to find more pyrmids by punching the tall guys or finding more on the map. Sometimes its good to time the collection of these powerups just as you run out of armour as you will get an instant refill.

This might have been an alright budget game, but anyone who paid for the full price cassette on release was robbed!
