Gyruss for the Atari 2600

Sure, it's an easy game...a quite easy game and it becomes repetitive.

But damn, this is a quite fun and quite addictive game. And isn't that what is important in games?

Also, the quality of the music is insane...in an awesome way. The only other game where I know that it has such a quality when it comes to Atari 2600 music is Pitfall II.

Damn! They really did a much better job with Gyruss than I thought that they would've. This is the first time I've seen the 2600 version and I am impressed! I have to pick this up!!!!

@TheAtariJunkie

Oh yeah, you definitely should! =)

Damn, this got to be the best music I've heard from an Atari 2600 game ever. The music kicks ass :D

[zdog95ster]

the music is so good its comparable to NES music and better than some of those games

@darksidealice Pitfall II would like to speak with you, sir.

@7megahertz Agreed, but my personal reason for doing it is actually not to put down the Atari (had one myself and loved it), but because I am still quite impressed by the fact that only 5 years after this new technology had improved as much as it had.

And the Colecovision still impresses me to this day.

That was obviously not clear from my comment which is noones fault but my own. :)

@auritone It's idiotic when people compare games on systems with newer and more sophisticated hardware to games running off older tech

[auritone]

Have to admit that this - though impressive - proved the superiority of the Colecovision.

The NES version is the best, though. That one's better than the arcade version.
