Gryzor

Infiltrate the Alien Rebel's headquarters in Konami's smash coin-op game for your home computer. Negotiate the electric force field and then overcome wave upon wave of fanatical guerillas as you make your way inexorably towards their base.

Split-second timing and nerves of steel are a must for this exciting fun-packed program with all the features of the arcade original.

The Game

The Durrs from the Planet Sunahave infiltrated Earth's defensive forces, hasve set up a strong hold 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 defences (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. As you get closer to the heart of the complex, you will find that the APP has already started its dastardly work and, if you manage to pass the ice region, you will then encounter a labyrinth of pipes and ducts, only then you realise the danger has just begun... For the aliens incarnate will reveal themselves, and you will be pitted against the most deadly foe ever known to man!

There is only one man who could ever hope to accomplish this mission. His name: Lance Gryzor!

Gameplay

The game is divided into five sections:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. The Inner Gorge (Vertical scrolling)
   Fight your way upwards to the inner entrance and destroy the gateway.
4. The Inner Maze (3-D)
   (See The Outer Maze)
5. 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.

Status And Scoring

The score and lives are displayed on the screen at all times.

On the maze section a map of the maze and a clock appear. The clock displays the amount of time you have to complete the maze stage before losing a life. Points are awarded for shooting the enemies that you encounter: large aliens 5,000 - 40,000, soldiers 500 and small aliens 200.
