No.3: Cybernoid - Hewson, 1987
“An arcade machine in your own home” declared Crash in its review of Raffaele Cecco’s brilliant Cybernoid - and they weren’t far off the mark. But beyond the colourful and intricate graphics, Cybernoid also has a carefully balance gameplay, full of shooting action combined with the sort of navigation usually required for platform games.
Wonderfully playable, and still fun today, Cybernoid deservedly takes bronze on the Wizwords top 100 ZX Spectrum games.
