FLY THE ULTIMATE STEALTH JETCOPTER!

Tiger-Heli marked a revolutionary moment in 1985 as Toaplan's pioneering bomb-based vertical shooter, a true innovator of its time. Despite its unassuming appearance, its lifelike gameplay resonated with fans, earning widespread acclaim in Japan and around the globe. Its legacy lived on through Twin Cobra, released just two years later, and even today it remains a cherished gem among retro gaming enthusiasts worldwide.

"Under the relentless onslaught of a war-mongering nation, we face a dire and final stand at sunrise. These fanatics are resolute in their mission to conquer all they encounter, and thus far, they have triumphed in this brutal conflict."

Hits u in the feels quite hard

It has such a nostalgic effect that just doesn't let-up, it was in all arcades back in he day for a very good reason. It's really good fun and the more you play it the better it gets - Duh - but some Shmups get worse the more you play. So get it on sale and you'll get into it quickly. P.S This version also has an ease of life Reverse/Rewind button that makes the game a total blast.
