The briefing
Kyuukyoku Tiger is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up in which you pilot the TC-17 Twin Cobra assault helicopter against the forces of Commander Anziga, leader of Kaban.
Fight helicopters, tanks, and stationary guns while assaulting Kaban's military base. Defeating large helicopters can provide colored weapon icons: blue grants a forward spread shot, yellow a four-way shot, red a wide forward laser, and green a continuous forward laser. At the end of each section, land on a carrier ship to count your bonuses.
