About Gorf
Released in 1981, Gorf presents five distinct missions that cycle through different shooting styles. Players navigate single-screen combat, starting with Astro Battles to face invaders, before progressing to stages where enemy ships disengage from hovering formations to dive at the player. The gameplay requires managing a parabolic force field while destroying enemies emerging from hyperspace fields.

Open Play on this page to start Gorf. Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
