INLAY CARD TEXT



CYBERUN



In the dark reaches of the Amobeus Nebula stands the isolated

series of stars and planets, the Beta Gamma System.  But to those

who have taken the Space, the Zebarema.  A tightly bound cluster

of planets and dark stars, totally unique in the Whole Universe,

bound together by a lattice of Plasmic Energy, extending between

one and all Planets in the System.  Each planet is composed of

Anti-element Cybertron, it is the only known source in the whole

universe and such is its value that many such civilisations have

devoted their entire resources to prying off one of the smaller

outer planets from the main cluster, in a futile bid to gain

access to the untold wealth it would bring, once free from the 

Antiplasmic Lattice, and becomes exposed to positive matter

space, it crystalises to form Cybernite, the hardest substance

in the known universe, resistant to all forms of heat and energy,

allowing the weilders to mine the greatest form of energy ever,

the stars. For who can control the Zebarema, can control the

Galaxy.  But the Beta Gamma System "Zebarema" is reluctant to

give up its Cybernite Crystals and exerts an almost unbeatable

magnetronic pull on all matter trying to escape its protective

envelope.



Thus the undertaking of construction of an enormous carrier of

The precious Cargo, the Crystal Ship.  Many years and many lives

have been spent on this vast Space Sailer and the time draws

near, for the ship'a destined function, for only the Superlative

Power of one such vessel can resist the magnetronic pull exerted

by the system on any leaving body.  Due to its immense size, the

ship has been constructed in stages which have already been

shipped out to the Zebarema System.  These propulsion units are

of little use elsewhere in the Galaxy and have been constructed

solely for use as escape Engines and Auxilliaries which obey the

strange physical laws particular to the Beta Gamma System.



The command module is ready and awaits only the pre-launch

computer checks to secure Lift Off.  The Crystal Ship has been

equipped with military lasers, as the Legendary Hourney is sure

to be opposed by the murdering barbaric inhabitants of nearby

Galaxies, perhaps they may have constructed a Space Cruiser to

utilise the mining and thrus equipment already in the Zebarema

System.



Who could have forseen their production of the Mark III Crystal

Ship and its earlier unscheduled arrival on the Cybertron Planet? 

And so begins the greatest journey of all time, the race through

Space for command of the Universe, THE CYBERUN...

FACTS ABOUT THE GAME

The only post "Knightlore" game that wasn't in their

ever-so-poular and over used, isometric 3D format.





NOTES

For some (sane) reason, Cyberun DOESN'T feature a silly list of

daft and irrelevantly LONG list of all the game's features - Phew!
