Twin Cobra: Desert Attack Helicopter

released on May 18, 1991

You pilot the TC-17 Twin Cobra assault helicopter to fight the forces of Commander Anziga, the myopic leader of the nation of Kaban. Your job is to fly into Kaban and take out the entire military base of Commander Anziga. You will fight small helicopters, tanks and stationary guns, defeat the large helicopters to get power-ups. By picking up colored icons (blue, yellow, red or green) you can change to different weapon types. Blue is a forward spread shot, yellow is a four-way shot, red is a wide forward laser shot and green is a continuous forward laser shot. At the end of each section, you land on a carrier ship and count up your bonuses.

Easily one of the most challenging shmups out there. The AI is diabolical. A good game but be aware you won't be beating it in one sitting. I had to memorize everything because when you die you respawn at the last checkpoint.
