Time to light up the skies and melt some pixelated metal—Twin Cobra is back, baby! We're dropping into the chaos on the Sega Megadrive, but with a twist of pure tech magic: this beast is running on a MiSTer FPGA. That means arcade-accurate bullets, explosions that scream “1990s”, and helicopters that don’t know how to quit.

This isn’t just another retro gameplay video—it’s a glorious dive into shmup heaven (or bullet hell, depending on your reflexes). Twin Cobra throws more heat than your ex's mixtape and demands respect. We’re flying through waves of enemies, dodging like caffeinated ninjas, and yes—there will be screaming when those sneaky missiles land a hit. Spoiler: They will land a hit.

Whether you're a retro gaming junkie, a MiSTer FPGA wizard, or someone wondering why helicopters are angry all the time, you're in the right place. We talk graphics, gameplay, and why this port still holds up like a boss. It’s Sega Megadrive nostalgia with MiSTer-level precision—and it absolutely rules.

So grab your controller, bring snacks (for emotional support), and prepare for some high-flying, pixel-bursting, boss-battling action!

Like, subscribe, and stick around—we're just getting started in this retro/modern/indie gaming rabbit hole. And yes, it's a deep one.
