PEG's video: Twin Cobra Arcade - 1-ALL Clear 2-9 3 703 660 Pts

Full run of the first loop (and most of the second) for Twin Cobra. This is the international version of Kyuukyoku Tiger, made by Toaplan.

It shares all of the same levels of the Japanese version but alters several important characteristics of the gameplay. I guess you could call this a balance revision for the most part although it does also allow 2 player simultaneous play which the previous version did not have. A lot of Toaplan games had revisions like this with several alterations to accommodate the 2nd player. Anyway, the main changes basically boil down to: 1) Your ship is now red and you have a slightly faster ship speed! 2) Extends come at every 150K instead of every 200K! 3) Lower rank, enemy firing speed 4) NO CHECKPOINTS!!! .... 5) You have nerfed firepower :( Basically you can only have 3 shots on the screen at a time instead of 4. This does make quite a bit of difference and renders many quick kill strategies with the blue weapon useless now. So you will probably need to use the green weapon for some of the bosses now. So you do get a whole lot of buffs, especially the removal of the checkpoints, which makes for a more approachable and accessible game.
