I’ve been playing this on and off for a while now. Whenever I had a couple minutes to spare, I’d just pick up and play a bit of it. I think this 3D classics version is definitely the ultimate version of the original TwinBee. I’ve played the arcade version, the NES and this version. I know this version is based off thr NES version, but there are small changes that make this a more addictive and fulfilling experience. Being able to always see your lifes is nice. I feel like I die less in this version. It of course looks nicer and having the ability to save is nice. My biggest gripe with all of the original TwinBees is that whenever you die, it feels almost impossible to surmount a comeback, regardless of how many lives you have. If you don't have the upgrades, it can be hard to work in the frantic and fast enemy layouts of the later levels. Still the best version of a pretty good arcade shooter.
