Abstract The player controls the rap group "The Beastie Boys" (MCA, Adrock, and Mike D) throughout several levels such as trying to get their mics and instruments back.
Gameplay The objects for each level are as follows:
1. The Boys must dodge eggs being thrown at them for thirty seconds. 2. They are on top of a moving turntable trying to avoid "The Turntable King". 3. They have to get their mics back. 4. They have to get their instruments back. 5. They have to dodge different people to make it safely back to PJ's for their live performance.
The ending is really not that good. It just shows a picture of a platinum record saying: "CONGRATULATIONS!! YOU WON AN RIAA AWARD!!" After that, the game restarts at the first level.
Was this ever in an arcade?? I've NEVER heard of this.
I do remember in Sega Genesis' NBA Jam TE - you could enter a password and be the beastie boys.

holy fuck, i need screen shots of this shit, i really dont believe it.
Most of my favorites have been mentioned... except for this EXTREMELY DIFFICULT NES game:
I'd like to know which heads have actually beat this game. I don't remember beating it as a kid, and 2 years ago I picked it up again and for 4 hours couldn't get passed level 1-3... and it goes up to 6-6.
my buddy Jason beat this game last year, but after you beat the last guy it tells you that it was a trick devised by satan and sends you right back to the beginning and its twice as hard, you have to beat it with the cross too.

i played the super nintendo one and when you beat it it makes you do it all over again but you gotta kill the last guy with some special weapon. the super nintendo one was real fun tho. marble madness is the schit
So dope. Arcade version rocks, with the circular joystick action (nOAyO) - I used to beat that fucking game in the arcade, 8 planets down and onward towards Earth and I was dodging them parsecs like sweetness WP himself on the cutback. I hatt upon them shits with the two balls carrying an electric charge in the middle (YeSaYO) I always got run into those things...
GYRUSS is my ALL-TIME favorite arcade game. Bar none. I pretty much never attended any of my first 2 periods during my junior year at Poughkeepsie High because I'd have to stop at 7-11 along the way and play a few games. It's been SO damn long though. I was thinking at one point of buying an actual Gyruss game, cabinet & all. That's really the only game I'd ever need.
<br />
<br />Too many hours of my life were spent blistering my thumbs on that game. Still have indents on both thumbs to this day from pulling off piledrivers on the SNES.
<br />
<br />The original Streetfighter was the one that used to be the showstopper though with the button you had to hit as hard as you can to get power in the punch.

haha, yes all the summer olympics or what they called was the shit, but also every week a new joystick must be bought.
Nobody mention this joint
and speaking of Street Fighter II. We used to travel to neighborhoods challenging heads to this game. Was even in the Blockbuster SF II tournament. Had to do an entire semester of summer school for skipping class and playing this in Chinatown.

You're not kidding are you?
Holy crap...I guess not
If things had been different in 1992, you could have been guiding Adrock, MCA or Mike D around the screen at your local video arcade. A game was actually made by the Kaneko Company where you and two friends could control each of the Beasties as they travel through different platform style levels. A prototype cabinet was made using the 'Check Your Head' logo on one side and a white picture of the Beastie Boys on the other. The control panel had each of the Beastie's names next to each joystick. A CD player inside the cabinet plays tracks from "Paul's Boutique" and "Check Your Head" and as expected any swearing is beeped out. The different levels consisted of:
* Dodging eggs being thrown at them for 30 seconds * Standing on a giant moving turntable while avoiding "The Turntable King" * Get their microphones back * Get their instruments back * Get back to PJ's for their live performance
When all these levels are complete you win the RIAA Award and it all starts again. [AstroBBoy: maybe they should just go and visit 9th Beastie's house - he has a stack of their awards]. The game was never released as it never received licensing from the Beastie Boys or Grand Royal.
