WELCOME TO COIN-OP WARS
 
Twin Cobra
(AKA: Kyukyoku Tiger) Taito 1987
Twin Cobra is a shooter I have a lot of love and respect for. The love comes from fond memories of playing this compelling helicopter shooter in the arcades growing up - it was a real classic! And the respect comes from how Twin Cobra paved the way for many vertical shooters to come, establishing the SHMUP formula which would go on to define great games like the Raiden series. It's no surprise then that famed developer, Toaplan, were responsible for the game design and development duties, with Romstar publishing the game in North America, and Taito in Japan, under the name of Kyukyoku Tiger. The gameplay is straight forward, and easy to pickup with three types of upgradable weapons. But it's how all the enemies and bosses are so perfectly judged in difficulty that gives this game such strong replay value. So come and play SHMUP history right here at 1UP Arcade :-D
