Overview and Gameplay
From the cockpit of the TC-7 Twin Cobra, players push through dense enemy warzones in a vertical-scrolling aerial assault built around constant forward momentum and screen-clearing firepower.
Targets include armored vehicles, gun emplacements, and enemy aircraft across multiple stages, each ending in large-scale boss encounters. Power-ups enhance firepower and add explosive bomb attacks that clear dangerous screen patterns.
