Game Review (written by Truelove) Added on: 09/16/2006
Cyrus seems like a regular chess game. It's pretty interesting to say with the 3D environment, and numerous ways to control the board and the pieces. It looks much more interesting than a regular chess games though. There is a novel based part also available to try. The board is nicely designed, not only with the 3D but colors involved.
There are twelve levels to advance, eventually to a next one. Of course, the player is still playing against the computer therefore it is fine if the player is not very good at chess.
It also gives more choices because there is an option involved that allows the players to set or reset the clock, save and unsaved or load from a previous spot. Just in case, there is 2D view also involved if the player prefer that better. It can also teach players how to play the game better by just watching the computers play automatically.
Even though there might be taken some time to actually go over and see the moves played by the player, the option is very interesting. It allows the player not to entirely focus on the game but do other things as well because the moves are highlighted after the player makes them. Cyrus is good for those who want to enhance

their minds and play chess better, step away from the regular role-playing games that can get tedious.
Cyrus provides a better way to open up the mind and entirely focus on the board with the rest of the dark surroundings. Again, the player can take different parts the game and adjust the levels to fit with them the best. The blue and white color is preferred because it allows the players to better focus on the game as a whole. The system is MSX with no music.
Developer made by. The basic controls are made by the keyboard, in relation to the mouse. From seeing, it is one of the earliest games made of one of the first chess games. The game came out in 1985. The second Cyrus is different from the first one, in comparison to the number of difficulty levels, and a better perspective. Cyrus is designed for experts, but it is also known to have a limited distribution. There are three modes I mentioned earlier in the expert. Those involved the analysis, examine or just watch the computer by it self. Therefore, it is convenient whether if you are a expert or not.

The first time I played the game I was really impressed with it. I was just learning how to play chess and also quite new to computers. Playing cyrus on the computer helped improve both my chess game and getting comfortable working with a pc. So here I am again after so many year of not playing chess regularly wanting to play again the game that got me hooked.
