Probably not, but I thought this would be a good oppurtunity to plug the game

NES.

The ports was awesome. I also believe a 2600 port was made, but not quite as good.

I have it for the 2600, it's really good, I don't know about the NES one though.

this was the only game that slow motion mode was helpful. When you go to the sun, there was soo many damn things flying at you.

I used to play it on the C64, as well as in the arcade.

As I recall, the C64 port was pretty damn good.

Gyruss is one of the games on the Konami Collectors Series Arcade Advanced for the Nintendo GBA/SP.

The other games are Frogger, Scramble, Time Pilot and Rush N Attack. All are pretty good ports and have the hidden option of enhanced graphics or extra levels.


EDIT - Yie Ar Kung Fu is included too.
