コナミから登場したバブルシステム第1弾作品の縦スクロールシューティングゲーム。プレイヤーはツインビー（ウィンビー）を操作して、各ステージのボスを倒して進んでいく。雲の中に隠されているベルは、ショットで撃つと色が様々に変化して取るとパワーアップする。これまでにないインパクトのあるバリア、2人同時プレイ時の縦横の合体フォーメーション攻撃など、新しい要素が盛りだくさんのコミカルシューティングゲームの名作である。そのコミカルなゲームデザインが受け、カップル･女性層など幅広いプレイヤーに好まれ、コナミの看板作品になるだけでなく、その後の会社の方向性までも決定付けることになった。
ストーリー:
ある日突然、平和なドンブリ島にスパイス大王率いる軍隊が現われ島を占領してしまった。島の外れに住む科学者シナモン博士は、5つの島を取り戻すため、TwinBee、WinBeeと言うユニークな戦闘機を作り、2人の息子を立ち向かわせた。

Twin Bee (c) 1985 Konami.
An overhead scrolling game starring a pair of bee-shaped robots, Twinbee (the blue one) and his female counterpart Winbee (the pink one), Twin Bee is part of what are called 'cute 'em ups', a slang for shoot-em-up games that feature cute characters, animals and other funny looking creatures, among other whimsical themes and brightly colored landscapes. It's a fun game to play with at least 6 stages that repeat themselves with increased difficulty as you go along.
Power-ups and extra points can be found in special bells hidden in some enemies that, when shot a certain number of times, will change color and then, when touched by the player, will provide a powerup, such as extra speed.
