TwinBee is a game that I've heard in passing before, and I decided to try it out since I got the Konami Arcade Classics Collection.

Compared to many other on-rails shooters, it's a very colorful game! The music is generally up-beat and catchy, and the designs of the enemies are mostly cute.

While you're always flying in the skies, there will be enemies trying to stop you on both the air and the ground. Because of this, you have access to beams and bombs, kinda like Scramble, but more functional.

The game got pretty hard by the half-way point though, to the point that, if I ever play it again, I won't try to get as far as I did. Like many arcade titles, it loops infinitely, so I stopped after I beat Stage 6.

Overall, TwinBee is a solid on-rails shooter for the time, and it's more unique presentation helps it stand out from others of the same genre.
