Sure, they’re the staple of this website’s diet: Amiga and Dreamcast, with a sprinkle of the arcade, but y’know – talk about what you know. So I’ve strayed from TwinBee, but I’ve touched on a few classics you should play or have in your collection. But, best of all, you have vitality points, so for the lesser humans, there’s hope to get past the first level. It’s a little bit inaccurate as you have a lightening power up and located in the Pacific and the Atlantic too. You play a plane named Trevor who must take on a multitude of enemy planes and ground vehicles. While it wasn’t a particularly good year, it was a great game.
Another challenging game in the genre, but something I did complete was 1941.ġ941 is on the podium for vertical shooters. I consistently don’t like a lot of NES titles – sometimes because of the gameplay or theme ( Tecmo Bowl), but mostly due to the difficulty. The NES had Gradius and TwinBee which can be relived again for those who played if the first time around, but that wasn’t me. So the Amiga had SWIV and Xenon 2 to name a few, and of course, we have Ikaruga. There are 25 unused enemy designs in the ROM. I tried to get it on the Dreamcast again, but the price is around £100, which is about 23 gil. TwinBee is a cartoony shoot-em-up about the spice trade. Such a great game and I highly recommend it if you can get hold of a copy. I may have mentioned before about Xenon 2 in my Gradius post, but jumping over to the consoles, one of the standout shooters for me was Ikaruga. It didn’t make it to the Playstation, so no Sony SWIV. SWIV was also available on the SNES entitled Super SWIV and on the Mega Drive, Mega SWIV. Apparently, this was something to do with a spaceship from Star Trek with someone called Han Kirk. Of course, I had this on the Amiga so I could type in the cheat for god mode (infinite health) which was NCC-1701 and case sensitive. SWIV was another shooter, but it had the benefit of a ground vehicle too (most of the games from the genre were airborne, even though you destroy tanks and stuff), and was an excellent two-player. One of my favourite cheats and one of my favourite shooters was SWIV. Anyway, with the keyboard, you typed in your cheat. The keyboard wasn’t remotely musical unless the sound of typing is music to your ears – if so, you’d love to hear my typing right now, it’s… beautiful. Ignoring consoles and the likes of the Konami code, computers used to have this device called a keyboard. Peripherals aren’t always the way for a cheat. It’s like you can plug a GameGenie into your Switch. However, it would be good if there were some cheats for us who are rubbish at the game. The soundtrack is quirky, and the graphics and colours are rather pleasant. I don’t care if I die or get a low score – I’d like to be reasonably good at the game as it’s quite a lot of fun.
