About this game

Cyberbig is an arcade-action platform shooter released in 1989 and published by Animagic S.A. It is set on a planet inhabited by gigantic monsters known as Cyberbigs and other hostile creatures, where the player must escape with a robot companion.

Gameplay

Players travel across a vast map while recovering discs needed for their escape. Regular inhabitants must be shot once to make them shrink, then finished with a crouching shot. Cyberbigs cannot be destroyed, so encounters with them require a quick retreat.

Collecting the discs provides a tank that can defeat enemies with one shot and open doors, helping clear the way out. The game features colorful graphics and was released for Amstrad CPC, Amstrad PCW, DOS, MSX, and ZX Spectrum.
