Cybertron Mission presents the game player with a bit of everything. It's a maze game with each maze forming a room in an adventure requiring a number of objects (key, pot of gold, etc.) to be found, plus arcade action as your character fights off various unfriendly characters intent on ending his stay in the stronghold of Fort Cybertron.

The Spinners, Clones and Cyber-droids form the opposition as you move around the sixteen (4x4) rooms on each level. There are four keys to control direction of movement and fire and holding down two at once can achieve diagonal aim. Once the treasure from each level has been picked up you can move on by locating and touching the safe. It is a good idea to use the Pause key now and then to update your map of the rooms and their exits plus contents.

All too often our brave adventurer sizzles, and electrified skeleton on the maze wall, or scorched by a Spook (they appear pretty swiftly if you hand around in a room too long). Once you get used to the keys and the fact that you always shoot in the direction in which you are moving then this game has a lot to offer as you go searching for more objects and another high score. A mission worth going on.
