Saturn Shooter review: Twin Cobra II Plus / KyuKyoku Tiger II

This is the sequel to Toaplan's excellent and very popular 1987 arcade game - Twin Cobra. Yep. Two helicopter gunships against the enemy. Fast moving bullets. Slightly naff graphics. A fairly rare saturn shooter, which has its charms but is probably not near the top of anyone's pickup list, unless they're a saturn nutter like me, of course.

I've been playing Kyukyoku Tiger on the Marty a bit recently. Seems a bit like this sequel, pretty standard stuff. Well made but a bit uninspiring tbh.

After playing it I did decided to postpone my trip to Brighton in pursuit of manliness however.

@alexgameroom I dont' know how long I can keep up this boring accent. Certainly not for another video. It's not natural. Maybe next weekend, with some help from a visit to the borders of the Midlands (Cheltenham) just maybe, the old magic will return....du du du.....
