In line with the shmups, we saw earlier Spacewar! , SPACE INVADERS , GALAGA and GALAXY and even TEMPEST. In 1983 there was another game that is arguably a combination of some of the above. This is the Gyruss of KONAMI. Basically the game mechanics are GALAGA style , but instead of a top-view perspective, using a closed 3D perspective, much like TEMPEST . This is called something like "tube shooter", because all elements of the game have their movement restricted to what looks like an invisible tube, and the star field was adapted to maintain the feel of this perspective.
Buuut, unlike TEMPEST, the tube does not take certain forms implicit or Ship movement is limited to a fixed number of positions. And again, this time it's not a game with vector graphics, raster but [as GALAGA ].
apparently was also the first arcade game to use stereo sound system. During the game appear
satellite groups, that if the environment is destroyed and the player has a shot gun, he will fire two shots at a time, and some other artifacts, such as asteroids or laser generators. Other than that the gameplay is very similar to GALAGA .
The game has had versions for various systems, such as C64, Atari 2600 and 5200, Colecovision, and NES [This version had some extra ingredients from the original]. For new systems a faithful adaptation of the game appears in compilations of classics such as KONAMI CLASSICS ARCADE KONAMI Playstation and Game Boy Advance COLLECTOR SERIES.
The game was designed by Yoshiki Okamoto, who after some conflicts with KONAMI was fired, finally entering CAPCOM, where he worked on games such as 1942 [also a classic shmups] and STREET FIGHTER series .
striking thing in the game has to do with the fact that it goes through several planets down to Earth. At the time it was developed, Pluto's orbit near Neptune [although normally it is, Pluto's orbit intersects that of Neptune and a small period of what is taken to cover it closer than the second, in this case was between 1979 and 1999] and this was respected in NES version which was first passed by Neptune and Pluto then by [in the direction of Earth.] However, in the arcade is passed by Neptune, but it never passes by Pluto, respecting the current definition of the solar system. Moreover, while in the arcade version will play Neptune to Earth, in the NES version covers the entire solar system, including the Sun, although not a planet.
saw? you can even learn something in my blog ... After say they play video games is bad ...
