Play Cybergenic Ranger - Secret of the 7th Planet Online

Game Overview

Cybergenic Ranger is one of those MS-DOS games that somehow slipped under the radar back in the day, but man, does it nail that gritty '90s sci-fi vibe. You're this armored space ranger dropped onto some nightmare planet, blasting through waves of alien freaks with a gun that sounds like a fax machine hooked up to a distortion pedal. The first level throws you right into it—dodging acid pits, figuring out which platforms actually crumble under your feet (trial and error, mostly), and uncovering little power-up caches hidden in the weirdest spots.

The pixel art is chunky in that perfect retro way, all neon greens and purples against pitch-black alien caverns. And the music? Pure synth chaos—like someone fed a Commodore 64 too much caffeine. It’s got that old-school difficulty curve too; you’ll die a lot early on until you memorize enemy patterns, but it never feels unfair. Just be ready to hammer that quick-save key.

If you’ve ever wasted an afternoon on Contra or Metroid and wished they had more glitchy, low-budget charm, this is your jam. The seventh planet’s secrets are weird, wild, and totally worth the frustration.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
