Dutchman2000 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Here is an early version of Anthony Weber's version of Gyruss. This unfortunately lacks collision detection and more levels. Music is pretty good though. The ship moves very smoothly as well, I really hope a later version is out there somewhere! This is an autoboot disk.

www.atarimania.com Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Even unfinished, it's amazing we get to see what the original game was to be, thanks so much! Note that you can just pull out the AUTORUN.SYS file from the disk and rename it to .xex format :Gyruss.xex Now that we're getting super thirsty, any chance of Eyes, the Scott, Foresman titles or the Atari educational programs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urchlay Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Not familiar with the story... was the released Gyruss game based on this code, or was it a completely different implementation? Atarimania doesn't list an author for the Gyruss that got released... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) It looks and feels like the same guy did both...The music is also the same in instrumentation and sound..Well at least to my music deaf / blind ears Edited October 21, 2019 by Mclaneinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Awesome! I'm going to busy reviewing things it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 There's not really much to review, you can't shoot anything, nothing can kill you so its a 1 screen only job Unless someone has found a level skipper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
