Gyruss
(3.3)
3
1989
The entire solar system is being attacked by the vicious Gyrusians, and it's up to you to save the day! You will need to fly your spaceship to each of the nine planets and then clear three stages of enemies to rid that planet of the Gyrusians. You start the game with a single cannon, but can gain a double cannon after shooting a power up satellite. After clearing each planet, there is another bonus stage where additional weapons and bonus points can be collected. Gyruss is an arcade action shooter, however instead of piloting your spaceship horizontally or vertically, you move in a circle around the perimeter of the screen. The NES version of Gyruss adds to the original arcade version additional music, additional weapons, new enemies, and a large boss at the end of each level.

I've never been a fan of this style of game, and this one is even worse because of the forced 3D perspective. Instead of scrolling left and right shooting down enemies descending from the top of the screen, here you have to move around in a circle. I found this made the gameplay harder than the typical arcade-shooter of this era.
