About This Game
As one of the first 'cute 'em up' games, TwinBee established a colorful, lighthearted alternative to the military-themed shooters dominating the genre at the time.
The game's signature bell power-ups appear when shooting clouds, with different colored bells providing various weapons and power-ups when collected.
Players control TwinBee (or WinBee in 2-player mode) to rescue kidnapped characters from the evil King Spice and his minions.
The NES version features enhanced graphics and music compared to the arcade original, along with new stage designs exclusive to this port.
