It is probably more than 30 years ago I played it. Somehow I doubt it is on any Atari developer's list of games to port... Yikes! Might still be fun though! Seems already I've hit the crunch on Gyruss with 2 warps to earth again and about the same score: 226,450 BOL 1,755 Probably won't count my score but after the randomizer dished up level 17 hard. Level 16 very hard (though I did test it so it must be doable - needs a lot of restarts to figure out the first section) level 15 looks good. On my 4th go I got lucky and levels 6,1,8,4,10,6 again either the randmomizer is broken or i wrote down the wrong level (hopefully), Level 8 was not so bad afterall. Took me a few goes to get used to the default speed but you can change it [1-5] + [6] on top of them to vslow walk. Should have said you can press [START] to redo the current level - usually when you have wasted all the pills or lifts, this will clear any score you have made on the level, or [SELECT] to bank your score and go on to the next level anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 BOL: 1,462! I made it to level 6. I would have finished it, but I wasted the little log thingy, allowing me to get the last gem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyruss This is why I like the quickshot so I can use trigger for the waves and thumb for a break when I need an intense blast or to mop up the middle section! OK Table time...
