Gyrodine ports the Crux vertical arcade shoot on Taito Famicom with its helicopter facing military vehicles and enemy bases in top down view. The representation offers scrolling with shooting and bombs in a classic Japanese arcade port formula. Without western release, curiosity for Famicom shoot fans in the 8 bit Taito production vein.

Description
Famicom port of Crux/Taito's vertical arcade shooter, piloting an armed helicopter. Published by Taito, released in 1985 in Japan on Famicom. Scrolling overhead view, twin attacks on ground targets and air enemies, score bonuses and bases to wipe out, a tidy classic of early eight-bit shoot 'em ups.
