Hi,

I love Gyruss, a good old shooter out of my C64 days.
I was looking on gamefaq and I was suprised to see that the NES version
had secondary fire and end bosses.
Can somebody confirm this??

Yes it had, and the game FREAKING rocked, thanks for bringing the memories

I never played it on the NES, but the arcade version is one of my favorite games of all time.

Agreed. I can't imagine having a sliver of the fun I did with the NES game without those awesome bosses and the secondary fire mega shot, either.

Yeah, it did, and I hated it. It was the bastardization of Gyruss IMO. Was it a terrible game? No. But it wasn't Gyruss either. The C-64 and the 5200 had the most fun translations of the arcade hit. I'd stick with those.

The NES version of this was the first I played, and I love it. It's full of Konam NES development goodness. I need to pull out the NES again soon...

The screen in the first post is almost certainly not of the NES version, but either the Atari 5200 version or Atari 8-bit computer version.

Hmmmm, Gyruss. The arcade version was one of my favourite games and stole large amounts of my pocket money as a young 'un.

Thanks for the reply, strange that the NES version did not turn up on other compilations. I have a konami compilation GBA card but only with the real arcade version.
BTW, I played (when i was young ) the C64 version 7x around the scorecounter. (hard to explain but the max score was for example 99999, then it jumped on 00000 again and that 7 times..). I left in the night my computer on screen off and next morning start again. Took me 2 days I believe.

Thanks all for the reply.


PS yes this was just a gyruss screen.....not the NES version.
