Gyromite NES Review - Simple Fun

by Flashman85 on Monday, October 7, 2002
There's really not much to this game. You move left and right, climb ropes, fall off of ledges, pick up and drop radishes (I think that's what they are), get eaten by monsters, and manipulate red and blue pipes/tubes. That's about it. What I love about this game is that it's so simple, it's fun! If you don't use R.O.B. you can play using two controllers, one for the professor(named Hector, believe it or not), and the other for moving the pipes around. This can be a lot of fun if you and a friend team up to play. It's not really that hard once you get warmed up to it. My only problem is that the mode where the professor sleepwalks and you manipulate the pipes can take a very long time, as he moves slowly.

VERDICT: A plain, fun game for some lost Saturday afternoon.
