 |
|
So I finished Gyruss for the Famicom Disk System some time ago. For a game released in 1988 it has a very nice ending sequence.
 
 
 
 
 
Not bad huh? Now then on to the US ending:
....
Yeah that's it. That is all that happens after going through 39 stages. No cutscenes, no credits, nothing. Thanks a lot Konami USA.
It wasn't just the ending that was altered in the US Gyruss. The FDS version also had a different intro sequence. If anybody wants to make an attempt at translating what this says, feel free.

| Total speculation here, but that stuff could have been cut to reduce ROM size, which would lower production costs. |

Probably, the ending is stored entirely on side A of the disk image. Still I feel Konami could've tried a little harder for the ending on the cart version. |

Konami always seemed to be way ahead of their time. Games like Salamander (1987) or Gradius II (1988) wouldn't have looked terribly out of place in a 1992 game lineup.
Having their own advanced (for the time) mapper hardware probably helped things. |

Arnold:
Is that all the pics from the Gyruss ending? Nothing was left out when it comes to the text?
I put those pics on another forum to see if they can translate them there. |

| I like the Demon Sword ending in those posts. I can't read a bit of it, but Bonji is a beautiful writing system. |
