- 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!
Looks like Evil Otto's smiling shadow is mocking you in the end :)
Gyruss rocks! Great review Mark :)
Great to see more Colecoavision reviews!
My friend got that "Earth Defense Force 2017" game for his 360 today at Gamestop for just $13. After the first mission, we were hooked. Thanks for recommending it
"I AM GYRUSS... I WIN!" : )
Oh I used to love this arcade game. Actually beat it once getting all the way to Earth. Just simple fun. Simple concept and simply fun. Didn't realize they had a coleco version. Surprised I never had it for it back then. Soundtrack was one of the best parts of the arcade version.
It's just fun to say colecovision !
My cat likes the ending music. Looked at me and started purring.
May have to get this game someday.
I have Gyruss for the NES. I have not played it in years but it is a great game.
Another great review!
I love the Coleco. It had so many great games and some cracking arcade ports.
I had this game on a Konami Arcade compilation on GBA along with Yie Ar Kung Fu and Rush'n Attack. I think there was one more, Oh yeah! Scramble! How could I forget Scramble?
Yeah, this game is pretty cool, especially the music.
Yep, got to love using the Atari 7800 controller on the Colecovision. I have this game for the NES but I would like to have EVERY port of this game. Cool video.
I love hearing that music again!
My experience with Gyruss is primarily on the NES version. The NES version is one of my favorite video games ever made.
I LOVE the music too this game.
Truly defines classic!!!
You’re saying it right
The music in this game is awesome! :D
they have this game in an arcade machine with tons of other games in a local pizza shop in my town! i love it lol
Love the opening music for this game.
Great arcade game. This version doesn't look too bad.
Good review.
awsome looking game and the music sounds great, especially for the time period and that it was going against things like atari
In the arcade this game used a joystick. I always thought it would have really kicked ass if it had used a spinner like Tempest. It is a great game though and a lot of fun :)
Okay. I check it out soon.
I have the NES version and love the challenge later on!
NES Gyruss is completely a different game.
I haven't play the arcade version but it's hard to image that it could be better than the nes version. It was a great game.
Yes, Gyruss is still my favorite game! I used to spend quarter after quarters playing it. A new resembling game, Zamarian, just came out on Google Play and the App Store. Search for it on RUclips here.
I got good enough at this game that I could make it to Earth on MAME (Arcade machine emulator if you don't know)
I'm guessing the game was happy because it appeared in Classic Game Room, that's why it smiled.
A game over with a smile thats nice! :)
Awesome review, I'm gonna find this.
I loved this game. Mostly played it on the NES!
I have a question. Where'd you get your colecovision? I had one I borrowed from a friend and it quit working on me
Nice music for 8 bit sound. Anyway great video as always.
The game collection u mention is the "Konami Arcade Classics Collection," a 5-in-1 collection that includes this, Frogger, and a few others that I forget.
Oh, and don't forget the Konami Code!
I think the Atari 5200 was the best version of this game. It was one of the few 5200 games where the non-centering joystick didn't work against it.
I just bought my friend a brand new copy of this for Christmas.
Some badass tunes for Coleco vision.
just to give players a heads up the "Konami" code works on the coleco version. i found out by accident when i was a kid. it wasn't until contra come out for Nintendo and the "Konami" code came out that i put two and two together and realized it was the same sequence.
That music makes it sound like your in a rickety old ship puttering its way through space.
@Nettacki
The others are Scramble (1981), Time Pilot (1982) and Yie Ar Kung Fu (1985).
Yeah, the NES version is amazing. The arcade version and the older ports like this one are good, sure, but the NES version just added so much stuff and is so well done that it's no contest...
i loved this game to near death on the NES. the only game to surpass this in amount of play time for me was final fantasy on the NES. i just love the fact that the NES's sound track is a rip off of the old "rag time" music. but still really great sounding.^^
i love this game it was my favorite i wish i could find the arcade game
It's basically a colourless version of Tempest, with only the circle level!
the colecovision was way ahead of its time....the music was way better than the bloops and bleeps of the atari 2600
Round 6, still bad ass review Mark!
i have this game cartridge for the Atari 400 computer, it is to this day, a fucking amazing game.
3 warps to uranus! XD 2:08
Great review! :D
Have you output this over RF?
whats the name of the song at the end?
That version looks and sounds awesome. But, I wasn't sure if it was the video feed or if the game really did suffer from some pop-up overloading. And, having played the NES version, (which is more like a sequel then an arcade port) that version felt underpowered in spots it shouldn't have.
Trivia fact about the arcade: Every 360 degree position of the ship was hand drawn. Meaning the CPU did nothing to rotate the ship. Just hundreds of images!
Shooters have come a long way =)
I have to agree that the NES version is my favorite bar none, but I've only played the C64 version besides it.
There is a "Konami Arcade Classics" disc for the PS1, and Gyruss, among other faves, is on it.
Thats right, Gyruss on NES... best version ever.
I remember playing this, or something like it in the arcade on GTA San Andreas. Haha I always thought it funny to play a game within a game.
Its great fun anyway.
I love this game. Still looking for a cab of it. Spotted one a few years back, Damn place burnt down. :(
hey I thought the music for the 2600 version was just fine :) I was seriously impressed with it.
For a colleco vission game, it looks very good.
i still cant believe how great this music is for the time. the colecovision kicks ataris ass, to bad it didn't last very long
the level beginning music is great.
for a game in such a fashion, with more wii like interaction, I recommend To The Earth for the nes. get a zapper, and be sure to use a 13-14 inch crt tv.
I can't wait till Konami releases the sequel. Metal Gyruss 4: Sons of Uranus.
that ending was funny they had i smiley face
ColecoVision and Sega Master System use the same sound chip.
@Neb6 Z80 power! :)
The music at the beginning sounded like a Dracula movie soundtrack.
very impressive graphics for the time
thanks for the info, that's been bothering me for a while, it's tough whe n you only know the tune, i'm also looking to find the name of the opening to 2001: a space odyssey if you happen to know
Epic!!! the Colecovision flys to Neptune.
Awesome
Better than the version that we have in GTA San Andreas :)
Its Evil Otto!!!
Little Miss Gamer did a review of the NES version, but I guess you can also pick up the arcade original on the Xbox Live Arcade.
I had it on the NES growing up and the 2600 at a later date, but sadly both cartridges are now dead but I would not mind finding them again

Dude, you can go anywhere for an MW2 review. Where else are you going to get a new review of Gyruss for the ColecoVision?
This is the beauty of the Classic Game Room.
Yeah this game looks really good, The coleco obviously had some horsepower
LOL, it's a smiley face! I have this for game boy advanced sp or whatever u call it. It's on one of those games that has like 5 classic games on it.
thanks again
happy face at the end
all awesome :)
haha the end was amazing
Yeah, considering the music was written more than 200 years before this or any video game ever existed...
Check out the GBA Konami Arcade Advanced. Excellent version of Gyruss, and if you do the Konami code at the title screen, you start at a special Black Hole Stage.
This is one of my favorites.
actually i just saw the atari 2600 version and I agree with you.....I just assumed it would be like the typical 2600 music....my bad.
alaska! that is rad
I think you can get the arcade version(the best version) on xbox live. But if you can find the sit down arcade console that would be freakin sweet!
i have the arcade machine of this in my bedroom :)
sweet game
LOL! The game smiled after you lost! That's crazy!
Nice happy face of ships at the end...really...this is a good version, but the Atari 8 bit plays better.
This is the best home version I've seen! I don't like the NES version.
actually it's nice to see a review of the less popular titles...there are probably dozens of sonic reviews out there...do we really need another one?
? can you use the trackball on this one
and remember to watch out for them Klingon's near URanus lol my bad
Otto wants to rule the pixel universe. XD
looks like a smiley face : )
oo man when he died in the end it was soo funny
This is like an arcade game in GTA:SA.
I thought that was a original concept.
Scrap that use windex instead its less corrosive against the connectors.
OMG HE ENTERS URANUS
That's just what I was going to say.
this game is like tempest and i love it i have the cv version
This should be compatible to the wheel controller
