Collecting the weapon and speed power-ups throughout the game is vital since the gameplay is quite difficult. Seta, the Twin Eagle maker, released 9 machines in our database under this trade name, starting in 1988. Other machines made by Seta during the time period Twin Eagle was produced include Arbalester, Castle Of Dragon, Meta Fox, U.S. Classic, and Thunder Lightning. Cabinet Information All the artwork contains the Taito logo. Inside the logo is the rather dubious claim, MADE IN THE U S A. Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs Completely destroying the bunkers before shooting any of the men behind them almost always yields a shotmulitplier powerup. One can regularly have the maximum number of shot multipliers by the end of the first level by using this trick. Powerups seem to appear more frequently if you stay with your guns and do not pick up a missile powerup. Fire as often as you can when you are using the guns, and keep firing. Once you have maxed out your shot multiplier, it is good to start picking up missiles. Part of the trick to playing the game is to scroll the screen from side to side and to pick off the enemies that are placed on opposite sides to harrass you.PBy learning the pattern of when and where enemies appear, you can neutralize them before they can do you any harm. This is especially true with hitting the small helicopters as they come on screen, and nuking the screen just before the guided missile truck. It is best to use the screen nuke when your helicopter is positioned at the very EMbottomEM of the screen. Otherwise, it may only be partially effective. Game Introduction The subtitle of the game is "Revenge Joe's Brother". However, the story is not integrated into the game, there are no instructions, and the translation of the text is poor at times. After the fortress is destroyed on the ninth level, the player is treated to a very fast scrolling text in broken english that rambles on and on about a beast called terrorism. The rock-n-roll sound track has limited lyrics during the enemy fighter dogfight stages between levels. The difficulty of the dogfight will depend on the player's previously demonstrated skill. Early on, the most dangerous enemy is the guided missile truck. Later in the game, the constant waves of small helicopters are much more deadly. Game Play The game can be very difficult and suffers slightly from "once you lose your guy with all the good power-ups you're dead" syndrome. A single shot will destroy your helicopter. The object of the game, which is not explained, is to avenge your brother which means that you are Joe!. To do so, you must destroy the fortress on the very last level. When you start the game and it scrolls onto the starting screen, the background contains the different levels that you must survive. The starting position of the various enemies does not vary from game to game. The purpose of the different power-ups floating baloons is also not explained.
