Turbolover:
Hi guys, I'm looking for a title to a arcade machine I played when I was a kid. Game must have been from 1984 or earlier it was in color. All I remember that it was a space shooter top view, space ship rotating and moving from the center of screen and aliens (or different looking space ships) were moving all around you (kind of like asteroids). I remember that you could quickly turn the ship around by pressing a button. And one more thing that I remember probably most important that the bad guys (space ships) in one level looked like TV sets with little antennas on top of them. Does anybody remember?

Thanks for your time

That sounds like it's Gyruss:

Sorry about the delay in answering this. I saw it yesterday but ended up being busy.

Hope that's what you were looking for.

From his description it sounds more like Time Pilot '84 Style (ship in the middle)- but I don't know if that had a quick change direction button. I can't think of any shooters that had a button to do a 180 degree turn or anything.

was it a color vector game.. It would of still been in the arcades in the early 80's.

Maybe Space Duel.. A great game..

No it's not Gyruss or a vector game. Time pilot looks similar but it not the game.
