GAMEPLAY A total of six sides, one round end. The main character, Sid 2091, operates his favourite machine, the Motoloader, and solves incidents that occur within the runaway security computer system. Although it is a shooting game, it is equipped with a password function, and in addition to normal continuation play (free continuation), it is also possible to continue play using the password. Backup memory is not supported. The motoloader's main weapons are a beam vulcan that can cover a wide area and a laser that can penetrate enemies, while its subweapons are a chaser (homing missile), shield and bomb. The colour of the shield (different from the aforementioned sub-weapon) changes from green to yellow to red every time your ship takes damage, and the weapon you are using at the same time is reduced by one rank. There is no contact with the terrain, but if the player is caught in the scrolling terrain, the player is out at that point. Damage can be recovered with items or by clearing the stage. Although this is a HuCARD game, a visual scene reminiscent of the film Blade Runner (1982) is played at the opening, and visuals are also inserted at intervals between stages to appeal to players about the game's world view. The visual scenes are a selling point of the game and the makers have put a lot of effort into their production. Character design is by manga artist Masaomi Kanzaki. The original story was written by novelist Wataru Nakajima. Nakajima, who participated from the planning stage, was involved in setting up the world view and characters, and has also written a full-length novel of the game as part of the media mix. STORY The story takes place in Japan in the year 2099, when a giant corporation called "Company" controls an advanced computer network and runs the country. The establishment of technology to 'download' brain information into neuromemory has made human immortality in the cybernetic space possible, and there is a job called Cyber Diver with special skills (cybing) that allows them to transfer their consciousness into the network and act freely. Stage structure Stage 1. The SA-licensed cyberdiver SYD2091 receives a request from the company, via the intermediary DEVA, to cyve in UNIT. He is delighted to receive an unbeatable reward, but is soon informed that DEVA has been arrested as a suspect in a crime and that he, the main suspect, is also wanted, and that someone has tampered with UNIT and framed him, according to a message left by DEVA. In order to fend off the police pursuit and save DEVA, SYD storms into the police station in his beloved Motoloader. Stage 2. SYD raids the police station and rescues DEVA without incident, but questions the Police Robot's over-aggressiveness. DEVA says that something in the Police UNIT's control memory is the cause of everything, and once again requests the elimination of the foreign object as part of the company's work, and SYD rushes into the battle in cyberspace without pause. Stage 3. SYD returns after defeating the enemy in Police UNIT and is confronted by an agent of the company who is his client. The agent tells SYD that since the mysterious accident a year ago, when SYD lost his partner OHALA while cybing, there have been many incidents of someone living in UNIT disassembling and absorbing divers, and that UNIT is becoming uncontrollable. A mysterious machine suddenly appeared in front of the agents when they tried to talk about a certain download failure incident, which was thought to be the cause of these incidents, killed the agents, abducted the DEVA and flew away. In pursuit of the kidnapped DEVA, the motoloader flies to the Fuji base of the company's Facilities Department. Stage 4. Breaking through the defence system of the Fuji Base, the Motoloader enters the interior of the base. As they proceed to the deepest part of the base, dodging the onslaught of military UNITs, the machine that kidnapped DEVA is waiting for them as combined super-armour. Stage 5. Information obtained by the rescued DEVA reveals the enemy's objective: a network of composite personalities known as NERO, who plan to take control of Master Control of the Company's floating facility station at Lagrange Point, and for this purpose have abducted DEVA in order to steal the password in DEVA's neuro-memory. They abducted him to steal the password in DEVA's neuromemory. If the Company took control, the world would end. There is no access from the decks of the Fuji base, and the only way to stop them is to hit them directly on site. The Motoloader takes off into space for the station. Stage 6. SYD arrives at the station after passing through an onslaught of meteorites and
