Classic Game Room HD - GORF for Colecovision

Classic Game Room HD reviews GORF for the Colecovision video game console. Gorf was released to the arcades in 1981 by Midway and this amazing port of the game found its way to the Colecovision in 1983. It is a unique arcade game, and certainly a unique old school retro home video game, because it plays like 4 games in one (the arcade was 5 in 1). And it all gels together very well, combining elements of Space Invaders, Galaxian, Galaga, Star Wars, Star Ship and modern SHMUPS. It's a top down arcade style 2D shooter, a 3D space warp experience and an end boss battle to the death, GORF has it all! GORF is also an acronym for Galactic Orbiting Robotic Force. In case you want to pull that shit out for a dinner party or something you can be like "What's up bitches, I see your knowledge of fine wine and raise you the meaning of GORF". Classic Game Room brings you reviews of classic games like GORF as well as the newest releases for PS3, Wii and Xbox 360. This retro gamer review of Gorf is made from the actual Colecovision game cartridge and not emulation. If you like old school gaming and arcade hits as well as the newest shooters, driving games and strategy video games then Classic Game Room is the show for you. Now reviewing games for Colecovision.

I just noticed something. This game's title kinda sounds like the way Coach Z would say, "Golf."

Hey I gotta say Gorf rules!

One of my childhood favs..

I believe there was a sequel to this game celled "REggorf," where the objective was to steer your ship from one side of the screen to the other while dodging asteroids and alien ships and so forth...

I have this for Atari 2600.

I always wondered why Gorf wasn't made for at least the PS2 or one of the newer systems? I say PS2 because they have done well with recreating the classic video games without changing them from the arcade.

Hey, nice review. I think I used to have this as a kid, if not something similar. So, I was wondering, there's a couple games that I had dug up from the past that I'd like to see you review sometime if you feel like it; The Heist, and Sewer Sam. I had both of those as a kid, and I don't care if the review is bad or not, I just want people to know they exist, they're VERY obscure titles from what I can tell.

Good review I was a demon at Gorf arcade when I was like 10 or 11 back in 1982

I used to spend a lot of pocket money to get to Space Avenger I have the Colecovision version it's ok but it's not quite the same no speech and no Galaxians
