''Twin Cobra'', known as ''Kyūkyoku Tiger'' ("Ultimate Tiger") in Japan, is the second of Creator/{{Toaplan}}'s helicopter-based shooters, after ''VideoGame/TigerHeli''.
The game was first released to arcades in 1987, by Creator/{{Taito}} Corporation in Japan and by Romstar internationally, and subsequently ported to various consoles and Japanese computers.
In terms of gameplay (there is really no story), ''Twin Cobra'' is a typical VerticalScrollingShooter. Players' helicopters take off from carriers to wreak destruction on enemy helicopters, tanks, cannons, airplanes, gunboats, and so forth. Players have a choice of four primary weapons plus bombs that inflict massive damage within their wide blast radius. The primary weapon can be changed by collecting orbs that change color as they float around the screen. These weapons, and their colors, are:

** There's the traditional [[EveryTenThousandPoints "every whatever amount of points"]] system.
** One that isn't explained in-game (but is in an optional ''Kyūkyoku Tiger Heli'' gadget): As you destroy enemies within a stage, a kill counter for the stage goes up and when it reaches a hidden threshold, a 1-up token will spawn in a certain location on the stage. This can only be done three times per playthrough. [[UnstableEquilibrium Getting hit resets the kill counter for the stage back to zero.]]

* ScreenCrunch: Most home versions of the game blow up the sizes of the graphics in order to accomodate horizontally-oriented screens, but unfortunately reduce the vertical height of the playfield, making it much harder to perform forward or backward dodges. This trope along with the Genesis version being otherwise faithful to the arcade version is why that version in particular is one of the most NintendoHard shmups on the system.
