Title
The Arcade game TwinBee needs some credit along with Gradius for the big leap in what shoot em ups can do. To top that, TwinBee is designed to be played cooperatively with two players, which does a helluva lot more than what Gradius has set out! It is brutally tough though, and the Gradius syndrome is in effect, so be careful with your power-ups. The game has 10 stages, after which it loops. (3.5)

The NES port is a pale imitation of the arcade original, but is a landmark in being one of the first NES ROMs to break past the 40Kb limit, with a whole 48Kb of memory. Sadly it does not really put them to great use. (2.0)

    probably the most underrated on the site

    every version is GOOD and plays well according to the platform

    invented cute em up, pleasant music and visuals with a retro futurism aesthetic
