Kyukyoku Tiger (Twin Cobra)

[Despatche]

Finally added 2P table, but I have no idea if there are any differences from Cobra. I assume there are, like other games.

Kyukyoku Tiger 1P
Despatche - 837,030 - 107 - Yes - MAME v0.271

Didn't even look at my old score before doing this. Pathetic. Not sure why I'm posting it. This game sucks.

Lol this game is fucking awesome, and definitely in the top 1 or 2 or maybe 3 best games in the genre, depending on what day you ask me. Good that you finally got some time to play it!

2P KyuuTai is really weird, mostly because nobody knows who made it. For a long time I was convinced that it's a bootleg, but at this point I'm not sure. As far as I know, gameplay is 100% completely identical to Twin Cobra with only the title screen and copyright date being different. I kinda hate Twin Cobra, which means I kinda hate 2P KyuuTai, so I'm not really interested in playing it to see if it really is identical as I imagine it probably is, but if people really really really REALLY want me to check it out (probably not, I think) I could possibly be convinced to do so, albeit very reluctantly.

BTW Kyuukyoku Tiger turns 37 in exactly 7 days, on the 28th, which has absolutely nothing to do with anything other than the game's own awesomeness, which it has an overflowing abundance of, but yeah.

If they really are the same, I guess I'll remove that table soon. I'd like more data first though. Unfortunately, I don't care for Twin Cobra either.

Naaah. See, I hate Raiden. Now I realize that a lot of why I hate Raiden is present in Tiger, and that Raiden was just too effective of a copy. Sometimes I think that I hate Tiger even more, because at least Raiden gives me homing missiles to fall back on. The mere existence of Hishozame and Tatsujin, let alone the close proximity of those games, just makes Tiger even more miserable. I'd rather play Tiger-Heli or Slap Fight over Tiger most of the time.

37th anniversary of Tiger? I sleep. Happy 30th, Gaplus. Happy 35th, Winning Run.

First time make it this far with one coin:

Arcade - Twin Cobra
Vinh Loc - 1,450,880 - 201 - Yes - mame4droid 2025 (updated from mame4droid 2024)

Due to this is a non-checkpoint version, the stage 4 music accidentally repeated two more stages after i got the first death on the boss. But anyway i kinda surprised i can be able to make it this far without a single save states

[Nguyen VinhLOC]

ALMOST RUN !!!

AC - Kyukyoku Tiger (2P Ver)
Vinh Loc - 1,632,470 - 235 - Yes - Mame4droid 2025

[Nguyen VinhLOC]

ANOTHER ALMOST RUN !!!

AC - Twin Cobra (US)
Vinh Loc - 1,825,370 - 238 - Yes - Mame4droid 2025

Since all the version (except for the checkpoint version) save your scores when credit feeding, maybe i'll go for 2CC instead (((

1cc'd with my new phones, the xiaomi 15

Arcade - Twin Cobra (US)
Vinh Loc - 2,517,620 - 309 - Yes - mame4droid current

First time reaching stage 10 at about 8-10 lives i felt pretty shaky and started talking to myself i have to at least no miss until the final boss, and yeah when i reached stage 10 at 4 lives i feel like i made it and not so happy (would gladly be happier if this is the checkpoint version). After that i kept playing to see how far i can get and finally stops at 2-3 boss

[Nguyen VinhLOC]

After this run i had a couple more 1cc's of Twin Cobra non-checkpoint version, which is reached about 2-2 to 2-3 with the score lower than this one. Now i felt like non-checkpoint is finally easy and straightforward like Flying Shark, gotta work for the checkpoint version immediately. And hey i wanna go for Tatsujin as well, i gotta controlled my spaceship since it was too fast

Almost halfway through Loop 2

AC - Twin Cobra
Vinh Loc - 2,695,200 - 349 - Yes - mame4droid current
