Gyron Arena
Gyron Arena was created for the final play offs of the Gyron competition, and
released at a budget price, gameplay is identical. The cassette inlay
introduction gives some good background info on the game;
“On a cold grey morning in the middle of London thirty people gathered in a
very ordinary office block. These people, in the age range 14 to 60, had one
thing in common. They had completed one of the most difficult computer games
ever devised; GYRON NECROPOLIS, and were brought together to compete in the
grand final play off. Their task? Complete the GYRON ARENA game in the
shortest possible time. The prize? A brand new Porsche 924 motor car or
£12,500 cash. Further competitions were held in Spain and Denmark
simultaneously with London to give foreign finalists the chance to claim the
prize. The winner came from the Spanish heat, who finished the game in a
blistering 18 minutes! Here is your opportunity to play the ARENA game used in
the final … Bet you can’t beat 18 minutes!”
