Gyromite is an iconic Nintendo NES platform puzzle requiring R.O.B. or a second player with professors Vector and Hector crossing maze labs. The representation offers levels with remote activated elevator puzzles in an original founding accessory formula. Honest for NES puzzle fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Nintendo Black Box R.O.B. catalog.

Collector interest

Gyromite holds a singular historical place: it was built to sell the R.O.B. accessory, the robot Nintendo used to reposition the NES as a toy in the United States after the 1983 crash. Very common as a loose cart, its desirability climbs sharply with a working robot and the distinct-boxed Japanese Robot Gyro. The packaging and complete R.O.B. set, not the game itself, are the collecting object here.
