Summary
You're a top-tier helicopter ace, primed to unleash your Cobra on the shoreline defenses of a ruthless superpower. They've got the numbers. You've got the strength and the spirit! You're Twin Cobra, the most fearsome weapon soaring through the skies! Dive low over the desert and start laying waste. The enemy is everywhere! Take down swarms of enemy helicopters while dodging sheets of deadly ground fire! Reduce battalions of tanks to smoldering wrecks. Then it's time for naval combat! Lay down a blazing path through waves of heavily armed gunboats. Drop bombs on massive battleships and destroyers. Dive in and rake huge armored carriers with fire as they retaliate with everything they've got. The longer you survive, the stronger you become. Your firepower becomes faster and deadlier. But the enemies just keep coming! See how many ground troops you can send screaming! This war is yours to command. Kyuukyoku Tiger is a vertical scrolling shooter and the follow-up to Tiger-Heli, continuing the tradition of including the word Tiger in each title of the series. Later Japan-exclusive sequels would carry the same name, which roughly means "Ultimate Tiger". The helicopter is armed with a default forward-facing weapon that can strike both air and ground targets, along with a limited number of bombs that unleash massive damage in a wide area. Players can collect power-ups by destroying the durable Chinook enemy helicopters, which first allow upgrades to the standard gun for more firepower, eventually leading to the acquisition of weapons with unique firing patterns. These include a four-directional shot that fires in all cardinal directions and a spread shot that fires outward in a cone shape. Players can also gain more bombs by eliminating these enemies. At the end of each level, and sometimes midway through, a boss awaits. These enemies require significantly more firepower to defeat and can unleash a barrage of projectiles.
