Cyber Cross

Cyber Cross, whose full title on the title screen is Busou Keiji - Cyber Cross (武装刑事 サイバークロス), is an action game developed by ITL for the PC Engine, and published by Face in 1989. The goal is to walk to the right while defeating or evading enemies, eventually taking on one of the antagonists' henchmen in a one-on-one battle.

Cyber Cross is a side-scrolling superhero themed action brawler. The player controls a scrappy youth that is able to transform into a masked superhero by collecting one of the power-ups that occasionally fly across the screen. The masked form is stronger and has access to three different weapons; a beam saber, a laser pistol, or a boomerang. However, in order to gain access to those weapons, the player must collect a power up while still masked. Players lose their mask if their health drops below a certain level.

The game is a loving homage to tokusatsu TV shows, such as Kamen Rider and Super Sentai (or, for Western audiences, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). Each stage ends with a boss battle against a comical opponent and the transformation sequences are choreographed in a manner similar to famous tokusatsu shows. It follows the theme established by other contemporary games such as Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman and Wonder Momo.
