Classic Game Room HD – GYRUSS for ColecoVision review
November 13, 2009
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!

The NES version makes this version look like, well, a ColecoVision game. It’s about 100 times better.

Seriously he does …
Seriously he does good reviews,but honestly I think he just picks random games nobody gives a freak about. I mean I’m sure some people like these games, but honestly he could be reviewing sonic the hedgehog 1,2 or 3 review, or maybe I’v missed it. I don’t know maybe he doesn’t want to review all the good games at once to avoid be accused of being a sellout. I guess he wants to show people he can review any game whether its popular or not.
