Product Description
Gyromite is one of the original 1985 NES launch titles and one of only two games ever designed for use with R.O.B. (Robotic Operating Buddy). Developed by Nintendo R&D1 and released in North America on October 18, 1985, Gyromite puts you in control of Professor Hector as he races through booby‑trapped labs filled with dynamite and roaming Smicks. R.O.B. interacts with the game by lifting and rotating physical gyros to move on‑screen pillars, creating a unique blend of puzzle‑solving and action that helped the NES break into U.S. retail after the 1983 crash.
