Been playing this game on MAME, it's awesome.

I love it how you can knock the spheres/boulders off the top of buildings with your ground shot and have them roll over and crush the enemy tanks.

What's your opinions on this game?

I like it too. Nice detail.

One of the worst games ever, along with the first one - Twin Eagle - Revenge Joe's Brother.

Front only shot + getting rammed by everything.

The perspective is unique, but awkward & not well implemented. The original is fun, but I found the sequel to be clunky. The pre-rendered graphics don't make it prettier, only uglier as well.

Why do they keep making shmups with prerendered graphics?

Uhmmm. They don't keep making them.

Anyway, i thought 'Revenge Joe's Brother' was part 2.

Excuse my ignorance, but what's wrong with prerendered graphics?

Twin Eagle II has always been for me a FPS game in shmupy clothes

Nothing, per se. Some games implement them nicely (Mars Matrix, for example), it's just that if the source images aren't high-res, stuff tends to look even more blocky & pixelated than most 2-D gameplay, & suffers because the intent of pre-rendered graphics is generally supposed to make things look more realistic.

And TE2 is FAR from being the worst game ever, though I'd hold anyone who thinks the original is one of the worst games ever up by their toes & tickle them with feathers until they relent. The original Twin Eagle was a solid shmup, certainly worth a look.

I don't think it's a bad game, even if the first is better. It's quite different from the first one with having the bomb button to pick off ground targets. The way the tall buildings go down is cool.

There's quite a bit of decent radio chatter in this one.

BTW, the NES port of the first Twin Eagle is a real botch job.

Good sweet Mary mother of God.........this game has hellacious anti-autofire rank. Go full auto throughout the first stage and try, just try, to get past the jets at the end.
