Gryzor is poor, bad value, and as game I don't like it at all. Read Review

Be prepared to apply for your Spectrum's pilot's licence: the enemy hordes are pretty vicious and take a lot of practice to get past and will have you chucking your Speccy out the window in frustration. Read Review

Another coin-op conversion pays off. Fast slick action bring a cracking arcade game to the Spectrum in style. Read Review

Don't worry - it's still pretty good, just ever-so-slightly dated. Read Review

Full Instructions
The Game
The Durrs from the Planet Suna have infiltrated Earth's defensive forces, have set up a stronghold in an unchartered region on our planet and have assembled an atmosphere processing plant (APP) which gives them the facility to control the planet's weather conditions. Their plan is to bring about another ice age and thereby take over Earth and all its resources.
You are Lance Gryzor, a member of the federation for Earth's defence (FED). Having discovered the evil intention of the Durrs, you must infiltrate the stronghold, make your way through the fortification, past the androids and into the heart of the complex to destroy the APP. You will encounter many dangers and numerous weapons systems, together with deadly tunnels and awkward mazes.
Gameplay
This is divided into five sections.
-
The jungle (Horizontal scrolling).
Fight your way through the soldiers and destroy the entrance to the alien complex. Better weapons may be obtained on this level by destroying the weapon stores. -
The Outer Maze (3-D).
Destroy the targets on the back wall to continue through the maze and destroy the control entrance and destroy the gateway. -
The Inner Gorge (Vertical scrolling).
Fight your way upwards to the inner entrance and destroy the gateway. -
The Inner Maze (3-D).

The Final Conquest (Horizontal scrolling).
Fight past ships and trucks in the ice region to confront the guardians and finally the aliens themselves. Destroy the alien heart to complete the mission.
