A multiway scrolling arcade adventure with plenty of shooting and power-ups this promised a lot. However this was the game when, for me at least, Ultimate finally lost the plot.

Where their earlier games had occasionally been difficult, unforgiving and, on occasions, downright unfair at least they always managed to draw you in with spectacular graphics and could be great fun to play when you got the hang.

Cyberun, on the other hand, is sluggish, lacks graphical flair and is unreasonably difficult in a fashion that's not too likely to get you to persevere with it.

Cyberun is the first shooter Ultimate released since Lunar Jetman, three years before. And this time is an enjoyable and original game in which you must pilot a ship that needs to be assembled with parts scattered along a planet's surface and its undersoil caverns in the Zebarema system. Add-ons are also available like boosters, solar sails or fuel. Fight against aliens and try to escape from the planet.

The game has the usual good Ultimate graphics and sounds. Smooth movement in an horizontal & vertical scroll. We can find some similarities to Lunar Jetman while playing, like its high difficulty.

Maybe the best Ultimate game under the US Gold label.
