Cyborg 009

Overview

Cyborg 009 is a side-scrolling platform shooter game based on the famous manga and anime series created by Shōtarō Ishinomori. The story begins with Joe (009) and France (003) encountering a mysterious young girl who seems to have some connection with the evil organization Black Ghost. The player controls Joe, who must use his cyborg super-speed and a powerful laser pistol to fight his way through Black Ghost's forces and get to the bottom of this mystery.

The platform stages are interspersed with cinematic cutscenes, much like Riot's own Valis series. The game also features the main voice cast from the 1979 animated version. However, the soundtrack in the game is sourced from the 1960s animated works (particularly Cyborg 009 Monster Wars), except for one track from the 1979 series in the climax.

The storyline of the game takes various bits of the manga and mixes them together. It is a merger of "Assassins", "Mythos", and "The Underground Empire of Yomi".

The game ultimately ends with the original intended stop point of the manga; 009 and 002 burn up in re-entering the atmosphere, and two children see them as a shooting star, with the older sister wishing for world peace.
