Let's Compare: Gyruss (Atari 2600/800XL/C64)
103Another game that I had when I got my C64. And I even played it on an original Arcade machine.
It's quite novel because it has a circular playfield and your spaceship rotates around the center of the screen at a given distance.
Works quite well.
All 3 versions are playble. The 2600 version of course misses a couple of game elements but it keeps the feeling of the original reasonably well. It even has the music without making your ears bleed.
The 800 version does have all game elements, I think. But the enemy sprites look really low resolution.
The best version is actually the Commodore one. And I'm not just saying this for nostalgic reasons. It does have some sprite flicker but it's not horrible.
