Nearly a quarter century ago, gamers who wanted to travel throughout the galaxy needed only to plunk a few coins into an arcade machine. From tonight, gamers will be able to travel through space from the comfort of their own living room now that Gyruss, the classic tube-shooter from Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. has launched on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360.

In Gyruss, gamers fly a space ship from Neptune to Earth while battling enemies, satellites, asteroids and laser beam generators. Along the way the player’s ship can be upgraded to better tackle the ever-increasing enemies that attack during the journey to Earth.

• Enhanced for Xbox Live Arcade – includes voice support, new graphics, digitally enhanced sound, and leaderboards
• Play the original game or an enhanced version which includes 3D rendered graphics
• Multiplayer gameplay over Xbox Live includes split-screen cooperative and versus modes
• 23 levels to clear
