Cyborg is an imaginatively written, all-text science fiction adventure game.
You must guess the object, which doesn't become clear until late in the game
following a surprising arcade-like (and very effective) Lo-Res graphics
interlude. At the outset, all you know is that you are a Cyborg, half-human,
half-robot. Your mission is to find a source of energy to keep you alive. The
game uses a text parser, except for character interaction, during which you
choose a question from a predetermined list. Having an unusually cohesive
plot, the game is more like a novel than an adventure. Cyborg is big, similar
in size to Michael Berlyn's first game, OO-Topos. He's been involved with many
adventure games including writing some of Infocom's games. There are 130
mappable locations, including two maze-like areas. |
