Here's a game that has spent an AGE in the OFFLINE
ARCHIVE, and it was only because @CritAnime requested it
via Twitter that I bothered to add it - and what a
letdown it is :(
Cylu is one of Firebird
Software's early releases and it certainly shows. It's a
cross between another Firebird release, Chimera, and a
dead hamsters! The game play is the dead hamster. Not
only do you have to contend with the awkward controls,
but you also have to put up with ZX-81 speed. Shameless.
I did actually complete
this game back in the day with help from a few cheats
and a map, but on this occasion I was able to hack the
ending...

Poo. The End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
I used a cracked version of the game (by REMEMBER) that
allowed me to jump straight to the ending, but you can
also do it with an original version by doing the
following:
-
Load the game and freeze
it
using an Action Replay Cart
-
Press 'M' for
MONITOR
-
Type: G
8966 (this
uses the GO command and goes to mem
location: $8966, where the ending is
situated).
-
The ending will
start.
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
An ending screen appears that reads: "GAME COMPLETE.
THE OTSAN CROWN YOU LEADER. THE HURTING IS ABOUT TO
BEGIN."
