The land of Syrex is a dangerous place. Fierce monsters roam the countryside. But luckily for you, you’re a Grizzard handler!
Train your Grizzard to use a variety of Moves to take on the monsters. Discover new kinds of Grizzards with new capabilities. Can you conquer all the monsters of Syrex?
In this game you'll explore Syrex on over 200 screens; catch, train, and metamorphose unique Grizzard companions; talk to and help out over 30 different non-player characters; and fight over 80 kinds of monsters.
Gameplay
Explore the game world, starting in your destroyed home of Treble Village. Avoid the dangerous Fire Bogs until you've trained your Grizzard some new moves and gained stronger Attack and Defend abilities. Choose your battles, catch new Grizzards, and return to a Grizzard Depot to heal, save your progress, and switch between your Grizzard companions.
Discover who's behind the influx of monsters, and battle your way to the end boss, then continue in New Game Plus mode where you can try to acquire all 30 Grizzards for ultimate mastery.

Get a Grizzards Box!
If you'd like a boxed copy of Grizzards, please select "Box Upgrade: Yes" at the top of the page before adding Grizzards to your cart. Our boxes are professionally printed and include a box insert to hold your Grizzards cartridge in place. We want you to play our games, so we have not sealed or shrinkwrapped the boxes in any way, allowing you easy access to the game cartridge and manual.
These boxes are the same size as boxes Atari produced for their games "back in the day". They look great sitting on a shelf with your other boxed homebrew games, or alongside games from the classic Atari 2600 library. We only have a limited number of boxes for each game, and there is no guarantee they will become available again once our supplies are exhausted.
Additional Information
Included with Grizzards is the game cartridge and full-color 20-page manual. You can optionally purchase a professionally printed box (see above). Grizzards is available in NTSC, PAL, and SECAM television formats. Please specify above when ordering or you will receive an NTSC cartridge by default.
