In Gorgon, the player flies a spaceship across a side-scrolling landscape while protecting civilians on the ground from aliens that drop down from the top of the screen to try to carry them off.
The game uses keyboard controls, with the A, Z, and left/right arrow keys for movement and the space bar for firing.
Dezvoltare
The graphics were drawn with Sirius’s own E-Z Draw software (1980).
Recepție critică
By June 1982, Gorgon had sold 23,000 copies, making it one of the best-selling computer games at the time. Bill Kunkel of Electronic Jocuri called the game “another winner from ace designer Nasir” and “fine home version” of Defender, only criticizing the Apple II’s lack of joystick support at the time.

Rest assured that you Nasir Gebelli fans will not be disappointed by this one!”
