Can you live up to the task or will you be reduced to nuts and bolts? You are Ares, the first Zytron immune robot. A symbol of how far human technology has come, you are the most advanced robot in existence; built to run faster, jump higher, and fire quicker. In addition to these core attributes, your design includes a system for converting spare parts and resources into valuable items, armor, and weaponry. You will need to use everything at your disposal in order to reach and rescue the survivors aboard the Zytron infected space station. Key features: * Play through various locations in the A.R.E.S. universe, each a beautiful, unique, 3D environment with challenging obstacles. * You are the ultimate weapon with the ultimate sidekick – Collect the secret items and get power up to become a perfect weapon. * Come face to face with colossal opponents, learn their patterns to defeat them in battle. * Destroy enemies, collect their parts, and then recycle them to make incredible items, including health packs, ammo, and weapon upgrades.

Act-Fancer: Cybernetick Hyper Weapon	Data East	1989	In Act-Fancer: Cybernetick Hyper Weapon, the player takes the role of a cyborg who has to kill a lot of aliens. The player moves from left to right while being able to shoot and jump (by holding the joystick up, the fall time is reduced and allows to glide for a while). Defeated enemies leave blue orbs behind which should be collected: five of them transform the cyborg into the next evolutionary form (overall seven) which is basically a weapons upgrade and allows to hit more enemies with more bullets. Unfortunately the current power-up is lost and the cyborg reverts to the previous form after an invisible timer has run out; it can be extended by collecting red orbs which are also left behind by enemies. Another way to lose power-ups is being touched by an enemy or one of their projectiles, but then the cyborgs reverts directly to the basic form. Another hit means death and three deaths mean game over with continue option; additional lives are gained by earning a certain amount of points. When beginning the game or continuing after death, the cyborg starts with the first expansion level. There are five stages which have a mid- (whose position also serves as mid-level checkpoint after defeat) and end-boss each. The two-player mode has the players taking turns without interaction or competition between them.

Alien 8	Ultimate Play The Game	1985	THE PLANET Long long ago...in a distant galaxy, on a distant dying planet, the last of the guardians prepare their starship for its final journey. All of the libraries, records and knowledge have been stored aboard the vessel, along with the very best of their cryogenically preserved race. The planet's final end draws near as the last, most vital piece of equipment is loaded aboard, activated, and the hatchways closed. The ULTIMATE evolution ALIEN8 cybot whirrs into an artificial cybernetic rush of intelligence. All hatchways are sealed, as the starship prepares for its long uniterrupted journey into the inky void of space. THE JOURNEY Aeons pass and still the ALIEN 8 unit is functioning perfectly, gliding swiftly and silently around on multi-sealed-thermotion bearings in waxolight shrouds. The very pinnacle of robotic development from a now long dead planet, on its immense task of keeping the cryogenically immersed cryonaughts activated by preserving and maintaining their life support systems and waiting... The long journey is near completion as the central computer alerts you to the nearing of the pre-destined solar system. The dust of aeons lies heavy on the ageing data banks of the central computing core, tired from centuries of repetitive computing and re-computing, at last the final sequential landing operations. The craft begins its final slowing sequence several hundred light years from the destined planet and as, almost immediately the starship slows to sub-hyper warp speeds, is open to attack. All the starship main defence systems have remained unactivated, as the reverse polarity negative-ion thrusters battle and strain to halt the enormous bulk of the ship. The main computer reports Alien penetration in almost all areas of the ship and all life support systems have become damaged and deactivated. All cryogenic systems must be reactivated before auto-phase thrusting systems manoeuvre the ship into its semi-cycle planetary orbit, at 0 light years from the planet. Your programming insists that you complete the mission and restore all cryogenic life support systems to operation.* [152]* [150]* [48]* [136]* [132]* [6]* [4]* [41]*** [48]	ZX Spectrum

Atomic Robo-Kid Special	UPL	1990	Atomic Robo-Kid Special is some kind of explorative shooter like [game=#10746]Mr. Heli[/game]. Graphics are well done for the most time and controls are good. The first levels are motivating, but after you are beyond the first few from the 25 total levels you see that the gameplay elements and level graphics repeat themselves quite often. The music is also in the weak side. In total its an above average "different" shooter, but not one of the prime shmups for the PC-Engine.	PC Engine
