Classic Game Room HD - GYRUSS for ColecoVision review

Classic Game Room HD reviews GYRUSS for the ColecoVision. Gyruss from a 1983 arcade release from Konami and is a cross between a Space Invaders / Galaxian game and Atari's Tempest. Shoot enemies coming out from a vortex like thing (and from behind) while rotating your space ship around the "tube" a full 360 degrees. Gameplay is fast and frantic and very addicitive. Gyruss is also available for Atari 2600, Atari 5200 and Commodore 64. The Coleco Vision version of Gyruss is technically solid with excellent visuals, sounds and controls. This CGR review of Gyruss on ColecoVision has gameplay from Gyruss showing Gyrus old school game play in action. Fans of coin-op classics like Temptest should hunt this game down immediately and waste some bad guys with 360 degrees of force on the Coleco Vision!

have you ever played GTA SA?

well, there's a minigame inside the main game, called "they crawled from uranus", and I just realized that it's the copy of this awesome game!!!

Some badass tunes for Coleco vision.

Ah, I always loved this game along with Tempest.

Still got both. :)

The Colecovision was such a great console.

Good review. I was such a big fan of Gyruss back in the day. And the music is so awesome...it really gets your adrenaline pumping while you're playing. I've only played the Colecovision and NES versions. I like the Coleco better, but I liked the addition of boss battles on the NES version. I would love to see a minorly tweaked and updated with better graphics but not too overboard for the PS3.
