Comments and reviews
Firebird Software's Gyron offered players one of the biggest ever real-world prizes: £12,500 in cash, and a Porsche 924.
Unfortunately, 60 people managed to solve the 3D maze game at roughly the same time - which meant Firebird was forced to stage a simultaneous play-off in London, Spain and Denmark.
The winner was 16-year-old Juan Manuel Perez Vazquez from Spain, who completed a brand new level in a mere 18 minutes. His nearest competitor took 1 hour and 37 minutes to finish, thus earning Vazquez the sobriquet "The Spanish Fly".
