    TRIVIA
    Released in June 1989.

    There are several differences between Twin Hawk and its Japanese version Daisenpuu:
    • Twin Hawk supports two simultaneous players.
    • Daisenpuu supports two players, but only one at a time. Because of this, it also supports Cocktail cabinets.
    • In Twin Hawk, both planes are purple and pink for player 1 and 2 respectively.
    • In Daisenpuu, the planes are green for both players.
    • In Twin Hawk, when you die, you continue the game at your current position.
    To compensate this, they increased the health of bigger enemies and the rank/dynamic difficulty (enemies start shooting sooner and faster).
    • In Daisenpuu, when you die, you continue the game at predefined positions.
    • In Daisenpuu, big blue bullets are faster (like the ones in the first boss), making those attacks much more difficult to dodge.
    • In Twin Hawk, small orange bullets (like the ones in the beginning) have worse visibility. In Daisenpuu they're more yellow and have better contrast against the background.
