Good game, small issue.

Game worked well but it caused some issues with my console. All I had to do was take apart the cartridge and clean the corrosion off the contacts, which just involved removing the 5 screws and rubbing off the corrosion with a pencil eraser. It took me about 5 minutes and the game now works like new.Read full review...

A Classic NES Release... Some Gamers should look elsewhere for true Collectible Value

Based on today's standards of gaming, the graphics on this game would be considered terrible by some spoiled brat, lame gamer, millennial who grew up a with a large LCD screen in their bedroom and an iPhone. That type of person probably wouldn't appreciate any original title that pioneered a new genre that sought to create a new form of gameplay. They may want to just stick with the latest disposable games from their own generation.

This is a game from the 80's that kids, who grew up on Atari, tore into when they got their new NES Deluxe Edition for Xmas with that weird R.O.B. thing and played the hell out of it regardless of loving or hating it... It may have been all they had but they appreciated it.
This title is from that generation and finding them in this condition is becoming rare.

This type of game is collectible... like old comic books of the next generation.Read full review...

Gyromite w/famicom converter.

Gyromite is one of two games that were especially designed for use with Nintendo's Robotic Operating Buddy, more commonly known as the R.O.B. Gyromite is the more common of the two R.O.B. games. Stack up was the other game in the series. Although Gyromite was made for use with the R.O.B., it can also be used without it. Although not widely known, this is a very good NES game and should be a part of anybody's collection.Read full review...

Doesn't describe the game well

Bought it only to test my R.O.B.
Basic puzzle, not really appealing.

special adaptor

This version of Gyromite was an early version rushed to the USA with an adapter that converted the 60 pin Famicom game to the 72 pin (USA NES) version. This is now a collectors item due mostly to the fact that a person can remove the 60 pin famicom chip and use the open slot in the adapter to "insert" and "play" a Famicom game on the NES (with moderate alteration to the original cartridge)

note: Not all Gyromite cartidges have the Famicom adaptorRead full review...
