It's 3106 AD, and Earth has been almost annihilated by the Techno-wars. The remaining inhabitants built four Dome Cities, which kept the humans and the now toxic atmosphere apart. Linked by a rail system, the whole job was done by Cyborg droids. All was peaceful, until a report told that the war was instigated by machines. A three year lifespan was placed on all robots, something which the droids aren't happy at, so they rose up and revolted - and it's left to you to stop them taking over the Domes.

Stryx is a fun title, incorporating many different game styles (my favourite is the the Strangeloop-type section which is packed with robots). Graphics are up to the usual Psygnosis standard, and there's certainly a lot to keep shoot and search fans happy while they're waiting for the next big coin-op conversion is released - and probably a while longer, too.

An enjoyable product on Psygnosis' cheaper label, with high-quality graphics and sound, and a pretty good game in between.
