highinfidelity Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I used to play a lot a game that was absolutely similar to Twin Cobra: the two chopters, simultaneous 2-p action, the add-on weapons, bombs etc. The main differences were that at the beginning of the game you went across a field and you could shoot at bushes (while Twin Cobra begins across the sea). Plus, there was a sampled male voice singing in the background music. Anyone knows the name of this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 From what you're describing, that sounds like TWIN EAGLE (although in Twin Eagle, you fly a jet). Also, the first stage starts you off in a field with lots of destructable bushes, as you described. The game is brutally tough and the sampled rock vocals usually play during boss battles.

highinfidelity Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 No, no no. You got it, but it's not that one. It's much more resemblant to the standard twin-cobra, I would say that they are the same game with a different scenary. And the sampled voice sings most of the time. From what I could hear (+ remember) it sings something like: ruun, ruun, ruuuuun... I'm gonna take you hiiiigh-eeeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 ruun, ruun, ruuuuun... I'm gonna take you hiiiigh-eeeer I could swear the lyrics you quote sound just like the rock vocals out the Twin Eagle boss battles. Perhaps it is a hack that combines elements of TC and TE? Personally, I've never seen or heard of the game you're describing, but who knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highinfidelity Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 But it can't be that game... I kick ass at Twin Cobra and suck at Twin Eagle... The gameplay MUST be twincobra-style, or it would be the opposite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 aah Twin Cobra! One of my old favorites. Wasn't there a Twin Cobra 2? I seem to remember playing that game. Anyway off the top of my head, some games similar to Twin Cobra... Tiger Heli Ajax Thunder Dragon There might be more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.. is it any of those?

highinfidelity Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 aah Twin Cobra! One of my old favorites. Though, it's a very frustrating one. Those games where you get almost defenseless everytime you die sucks. Wasn't there a Twin Cobra 2? Yes, but it's too much recent, it can't be it. Anyway off the top of my head, some games similar to Twin Cobra...Tiger Heli Ajax Thunder Dragon is it any of those? Hmmm... not the latter, but that Tiger Heli is almost identical to TC. I have to dwnld... er... AHEM! I mean: as I own the original ROM chip, I will read it and try the game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highinfidelity Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 None of them Nevermind guys, and thanks for help. It was probably some obscure hack with a mix&match of various features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I've never seen or heard of the game you're describing, but who knows! Hey Adrian, I reached the jet-fight stage after hard efforts (the game's continue mode sucks you don't loose just your weapons but you even get back to a previous stage ). Well, that's exactly the music I was talking about, even though listening again to it I'd say it sings "wild wild wild, gonna take it down"... Unfortunately, my beloved game is proving to be a hack with a mix&match of various hardwares... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
