The following was written in 1999
Last September, Just Adventure was one of the first on the Internet to review a then-unknown game called Cydonia. It has since been remastered and rereleased in both DVD and CD-ROM formats. Relaunched as Lightbringer, it sports a new, vibrant box cover and a lower retail price. If you missed this game the first time around, now is the time to join the astronauts of the spaceship Prometheus as they explore the mysteries of Mars."

The following was written in 1998
"Cydonia's game content is based on actual information gathered from the NASA and Russian space programs. The Martian landscape, the mission data and archives all play an integral role in the game and are, if you will, edutainment. Yes, you will learn while you play, but not in the heavy-handed manner we have come to expect from edutainment titles.

"You said you wanted puzzles? Well, you got 'em. Situational puzzles, logic puzzles, time restraint puzzles, 3D puzzles--they're all in Cydonia.

"As in every other game I have reviewed this year, the graphics for Cydonia are a treat...I do not think that I have ever seen such bright colors in a computer game.

"Cydonia is an excellent first effort for Aneiva Interactive. Their creative treatment of successfully merging gaming and education can only bode well for their future releases. Dreamcatcher is to be commended for having the foresight to distribute this game."
