Twin Falcons

A horizontal air combat shooter from Philko.

Twin Falcons or Whizz is a military themed 2D side-scrolling shoot 'em up game where you take control of a fighter aircraft. The aircraft has separate weapons for flying and ground based units/ships.

You fight a variety of enemies like ships, aircraft and bosses. While playing destroyed enemies drop power-ups. These include: lower or higher speed (D and U), laser (L), hand operated three shot weapon (3 in a circle), three way automatic weapon (3 in a square) and a five shot weapon (R).

Trivia:

The game utilized recycled Capcom motherboards, typically from Sidearms. The software house was supposedly indicted for software bootlegging in South Korea around 1989, but 37 years later details are hard to verify.
