IGN Reviews Cybernator: Because you've always wanted to drive a giant robot suit

L.M. Thomas writes:

"Cybernator is a side-scrolling action/platformer/shooter in a style that could be called similar to Gunstar or Contra, but instead of controlling a human being with a spreadgun you're instead in command of a massive metal mech. It's an interesting shift – because the control feels definitively different as a result. You're not agile, you're not quick. You're a lumbering, but powerful, machine of war."

I really enjoyed Commando as a kid and it’s not listed . I bet it’s cheap maybe? Beat all 99 levels just to find out you start all over again .

You must be talking about Captain Commando and no it's not cheap...going for about $130.

I'm surprised Illusion of Gaia doesn't cost more

Any retro console is still worth buying in 2022 whether a Genesis, NES, SMS, TG16. Some systems command a higher price then others but a SNES is still reasonably priced and worth grabbing you can mod the NA SNES to play Japanese games throw in an Everdrive and you're set. I feel sorry for some of the consoles I see on Ebay that have holes in them, yellowed to death, modified with shitty mods that barely work. The SNES might need a little work great way to learn if yellowed just use peroxide and UV light and it will turn white again. If you have a hobby of repairing older consoles that are listed as untested broken for parts some of the repairs are basic you can save money that way when buying a retro console. I just bought a $20 NES listed as broken on Ebay disable the lock out chip and new 72pin connector and it works.

I imagine restoration work on retro consoles is going to become much more important as the years wear on. Sure, hundreds of thousands of certain consoles were made, but fewer exist every year.

Depends on the console a SNES for sure needs retrobrite the plastic grows brittle and literally falls apart same with the NES. A White Dreamcast also needs retrobrite if I remember right the TG16 needs new capacitors it suffers the same issue as the Game Gear. Most of the old handhelds need new screens since they fail with age my Game Gear had new capacitors put in and a McWill mod done to it. The NES needs the lock out chip disabled when the power light turns on and off maybe throw in a new 72pin as well. Sega Master System has an issue blowing out the 7805 voltage regulator. OG Xbox depending on the board revision needs a clock capacitor removed or it leaks and fries the board. N64 controller needs a new thumbstick Sega Genesis model 2 suffers from the solder around the power supply is prone to cracking hence the system will not power up. Sega CD model 1 the laser dies fast model 2 the rubber feet supporting the drive fail and the model is know to throw the pico fuse so it dies fast as well.

It also depends how you treat the system also I baby my shit. I don't throw it around like a football the systems I see that might need the most help going through the years are the ones that use lasers and discs. I know some systems have problems due to how they were built as well like again certain board revisions of an OG Xbox and the Game Gear. I have bought broken systems and picked them for parts. I actually enjoy fixing older systems it's relaxing and a great way to teach yourself new skills.

@0:34 - After all these years, just now realized that that mech's support ship was waiting right "beneath" something which should have knocked it out of position. Damaged if not destroyed it even.

deafdani3568d ago

Damn. Cybernator, Super Mario Kart and Murasame Castle all on the same week?

Awesome. It should be like this, ALWAYS.

lilbroRx3568d ago

I refuse to by this butchered mess. If you want this game then go get the retranslation for it somewhere online that didn't have all of the plot cut out.

ChickeyCantor3568d ago (Edited 3568d ago )

I never played cybernator for the "lore". It was just an awesome game. PEW PEW. Look at that landing slide physics. Truly unbelief.
