Gyruss - Exciting news as JOTD has released another Arcade to Amiga port!

JOTD has certainly earned a positive reputation in the Amiga scene, as he is one of the few developers willing to go the extra mile, to convert/port over some pretty fine Arcade to Amiga titles. Moon Patrol, Donkey Kong, Super Bagman, Galaxian500 and Super Xevious are just some of the ones as the highlight on this website. Well it doesn't look anything is going to stop this powerhouse of a developer from creating Arcade to Amiga conversions any time soon. As he has just announced the release of Konami's brilliant shooter of 'GYRUSS' over to the Amiga!

UPDATE : Annoyingly I'm not at home, so I'm unable to write a full article which has been done via my mobile (not fun!). However for those of you following all the previous developments of Gyruss, then as of today he has released a full version. Below is the full list of developer notes.
