๐น๏ธ Gyruss: Stage Theme - (NES) [Music Remix] ๐ผ
8๐ฉ๏ธ Composer: Atsushi Fujio, Yuichi Sakakura, Harumi Ueko.
Atsushi Fujio was born on May 18 in Japan. His name has been seen on many Konami titles since the late 80's. Atsushi graduated Kitazono High School in 1982 and attended the Kunatachi College of Music and graduated in 1987. While Fujio did compose music for a great deal of games, most of the games he worked on consisted of him working on sound programming, design, and manipulation. His music mostly consists of jazz but he has also shown elements of rock as well in his music. Atsushi currently lives in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
The game's background music is an electronic, uptempo arrangement of J. S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565; this particular track is similar to "Toccata", a rock arrangement by the UK-based instrumentalist group Sky. Gyruss uses stereo sound, which according to the bonus material for Konami Arcade Classics, was achieved by utilizing discrete audio circuits.
๐ฉ๏ธ The game: The gameplay is similar to that of Galaga in a tube shooter format, with the player's ship facing into the screen and able to move around the perimeter of an implicit circle. Stars come into view at the centre of the screen and fly outward, giving the impression of the player's ship moving through space.
