Counting down from a zillion to three: Cyborg Hunter | Segaiden 078

I originally set out to make this a multi-game episode, but no. Cyborg Hunter turned out to have far more to see and say than I could have imagined. And so, here we have a fairly in-depth look at a largely forgotten game (certainly one I never hear people discuss) that Sega created, Activision published, and Zillion inspired in some pretty significant and undeniable ways. Yeah, that's right: this is Zillion III, and it plays a whole lot more like the first game in the series than Zillion II did.
