Gyruss
Description:
Three billion miles is a long way from home.
But there's no shorter route from outer Neptune to Earth.
As if that weren't enough...it's got to be a shoot-out all the way.
You alone in your rapid-firing spaceship, swirling in a circular flight
pattern
orbiting to the right...arcing to the left...
trying to mow down wave after
wave of
enemy plane formations, rocketing meteors and run away satellites.
Stop's at Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars
will mark your progression towards
Earth.
Each one's a short visit, through.
Then it's off again to the next planet-and the next wave of enemies.
Reach Earth in one piece and maybe you'll
think twice about leaving home. Then again...maybe not !.
My ColecoVision Gyruss goes crazy, january 2007.!
As seen in the picture above, so Gyruss
went berserk one day in January 2007.
One day an unexplained reason
attracts the game to eternal life, in 2 player mode.
For 2 player mode, press the left
fire button on Controller 2 in port 2.
Then use Controller 1 in Port 1 in order to control the game.
And that also applies to player 2.
Use the same Controller 1 for both players.
Gyruss in july 2009, a normal 2 player mode.
