Play Gryzor (Japan) Online
Duck behind cover, spray bullets everywhere, and try not to get wrecked by the alien horde—this is the NES version where the Konami code became legend. Grab a friend, fight over power-ups, and die a lot to that killer soundtrack.
Konami released Gryzor for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988, a time when side-scrolling shooters were becoming a staple of the platform. It was part of a wave of arcade-style games that emphasized fast action and cooperative play, though it stood out for its demanding pace and unforgiving enemy patterns.
You control a lone commando, moving from left to right across hostile terrain, gunning down waves of soldiers and mechanized enemies. Your main goal is to survive each stage and defeat the boss waiting at the end. The game uses a screen by screen progression system, locking you into combat until all enemies in a section are eliminated. You collect power-ups to switch between several weapon types, like the spread shot or laser, each changing your strategy against different foes. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty is steep, with limited continues pushing you to learn patterns through repetition. It feels tense and urgent, especially when the screen fills with bullets and you're scrambling for a better position.
