There's VERY little gameplay of this game floating around on the Internet, but if you must see this game for yourself. Sadly, I wasn't able to find any good scans of the artwork from the game nor the manual's comic book pictured above.

Too bad that we probably won’t ever see the Cybergenic Ranger return in another gaming appearance again.

It’s sad too as the art accompanying this game is pretty good. The instruction manual included a pretty neat comic book detailing the Cybergenic Ranger's origin.

Still, if you want to experience this for yourself, there’s still copies of it floating around on the internet to download for MS-DOS. Outside of that, poor hitboxes, spotty movement, general performance issues, and even randomized platforms plague this game from anyone truly enjoying it. That turned into one hell of a cruel joke about a quarter of the game as you will run into a boss that will completely one-shot you at every turn unless you actually TALK to him instead of attacking him. The controls ruin just about everything good that this game provides, with there being a talk function that most players wouldn’t even know about if they didn’t read the instruction manual. It’s fucking awful, but it’s pretty cool that the beautiful hand-drawn backgrounds scroll with the player’s movement in the 2D environment. One of the many oddities that the Ranger faces as bosses in this game.Īs for the game where the Cybergenic Ranger originated from, Cybergenic Ranger: Secret of the Seventh Planet… I’m not even going to sugarcoat it. The character thus becomes the Cybergenic Ranger, to battle the renegade robots that killed his parents. Who is the Cybergenic Ranger, you ask? He was launched out of a spacecraft by his parents to save him from certain death by renegade robots when he was an infant, and saved when someone gave him cybergenic enhancements. I have to peg that credit to the folks at Games Done Quick as I caught one of their “mystery game” competitive speedruns as someone thought this would have been a great joke to troll the players in the bracket. I know there’s a ton of people going, “Where in the blue hell did you dig up this game from?” when they see this crap. No, he's not an obscure member of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Right off the bat, I know what you're thinking. Lesser Known Heroes From Comics & Gaming #1 - Cybergenic Ranger
