Description

Take control of the LX-3 Super Cobra helicopter and battle terrorist forces across iconic locations like New York City, the Statue of Liberty, the Atlantic Ocean, Italy, the Grand Canyon, and the enemy headquarters on Easter Island. The game blends fast‑paced arcade shooting with strategic aerial maneuvers, delivering an adrenaline‑filled experience for both solo and cooperative play. With split‑screen multiplayer, friends can join the fight side‑by‑side, coordinating attacks and covering each other's blind spots. Each mission presents unique challenges, from navigating tight city streets to engaging enemy vessels over open water, ensuring varied and replayable action.

Twin Cobra is a classic top‑down helicopter shoot‑em‑up where players battle waves of enemy aircraft and ground forces. Developed by Toaplan as the sequel to Tiger‑Heli, it delivers intense arcade action with tight controls and challenging patterns. Originally released in 1987, the game has been ported to modern platforms including Linux, PC, and Mac, preserving its retro charm while supporting both solo and cooperative play.
