  It was a prototype ROM cartridge - it's in the archive

  I see...so how do you play it? anyway looks like the perfect project for people like Ralph (I mean: changing the graphics into something closer to the coin op) ..or at least I hope so :D

  Hi Gab,
  
  it's really simple!
  
  I know you are using Spectaculator, so drag and drop the GYRUSS.ROM file into the emulator window. That's it, really.

  Also, I made a version that loaded from disk. It works setting a special paging mode, so it should work in +2A and +3 models.

  I was there, too
  An' you know what they said?
  Well, some of it was true!

  For those that want to play it,
  1) Use either Spin or Spectaculator...
  2) Download the rom from ftp://ftp.worldofspectrum.org/pub/sinclair/games/g/Gyruss(Prototype).rom.zip
  3) Drag and drop the above .zip rom file on to your emulator
  4) Wait for the terrible title music to stop playing and the star field to appear, then press 5 to play...
  5) Keys appear to be as follows:
  
  5= Fire
  1=Left
  2=Right
  3 & 4= Seem to be up and down, allowing the ship to move Left and Right when it reaches halfway around the screen
  F or P=Pause
  G=UnPause...

  I used to be able to well over 3 million on the arcade game, in fact I remember giving one guy a game that I had started playing at 9am was still playing 4pm on the same 10p and had something like 13 men left over. Happy days..

  It looks like it plays a little slow. I think a few of the stars in the background could have been dropped to up the frame rate.
  Without the music Gyruss isn't quite the same.
