Cyber Cross

About

Cyber Cross is a side-scrolling brawler that mixes platforming with beat-em-up action. You control a street-smart hero who battles hordes of goons on urban stages. The standout twist is the Power Suit upgrade, a flashy armored form that boosts your combat moves and lets you tackle sections with enhanced abilities. The action stays tight and responsive as you dodge obstacles, chain hits, and take down bosses in each level. Released in 1989 for TurboGrafx-16, the game leans into retro aesthetics with bright pixel art and simple but punchy animations. While not a modern classic, it has a cult following among fans of 80s/90s arcade-inspired brawlers. The Power Suit mechanic predates similar transformations in later titles, and the straightforward single-player campaign is quick enough for casual replay. Some describe it as a "hidden gem" with a nostalgic vibe, though it’s best approached as a time capsule of early 16-bit action.
