DETANA!!!!! twin bee is a very adorable arcade shoot-em-up. One which you could, perhaps, refer to as a "cute-em-up." You should not though. It's illegal. I will call the police on you and they will put you on a list of... undesirables.

I digress. DETANA!!!!! twin bee is pretty straight-forward as far as overhead shoot-em-ups go, but it's damn nice to look at. Another review compared the game to an OVA and honestly, I think that's a very appropriate comparison. The game really tries to maintain that sort of a style throughout and it does a damn good job of it. TwinBee is also top tier character design. A goofy looking bulbous ship with gigantic hands and a dang gun, what's not to love?

The power-up system is something you'll either love or hate. Shooting at bells changes their color which then corresponds to different power-ups. The only problem is this is a shoot-em-up and you should be shooting at all times, so you're bound to screw up and run right into power-ups you don't want at the least optimal time.

But the undeniable charm of this game makes it easy to look past things like that, and if you have access to a TurboGrafx (or more likely, an emulator) you should definitely give this game a shot. It's a fun little time waster.
