Hybrid
Some aliens from Venus have landed on Earth to live but have got more powerful
so they have been put in gaol to stop them using their power for evil. The
gaol wasn’t built to keep them in but to stop people and aliens getting in to
attempt a rescue mission. The gaol is starting to struggle to hold them so the
aliens need to be destroyed. The only way to do this is by sending a team of
droids in. The gaol is full of other creatures and defences all put in place
to stop anyone getting in, these include Cannons, mines, electro wire and many
types of creatures.
There are three types of droids, The Brain, The Robot and The Xylon, each with
different powers and abilities like switching bridges on, high fire power and
teleporting. Once the droids reach a certain cell in the complex together they
unite and become a ‘Hybrid’ where they are transported to a cell of an alien
to destroy it. Once the alien is destroyed then they are transported back to
the complex and another three aliens need to be found and destroyed to save
Earth.
The game is viewed from above and the Amstrad and Spectrum versions are flick
screen while the C64 version is a scrolling game. The joystick or keyboard is
used to control the droids and to switch between them.
