A timeattack is out of question because the screen is "on-moving". But would it be interesting to see a one-life run through the game, destroying ALL enemies/objects..? It's a pretty good game after all. I have no clue how long this game is. (Just recently started to play it again)

it's short, after some screens it goes back to the start (u wouldn't notice, it just repeats the scenery over and over).

So, it's kinda like Gauntlet II, repeat-idy? It isnt any "end"? Not even a little message saying; Congrats, game over, go play another game!

nope... it's infinite non-stop. unless for when u land, but even where it connects to the start of the game there's no landing pad. it keeps scrolling....

ok i made a movie, it doesn't go back to the start, it just finds a looping place where the difficulty increases a lot each time it repeats because the enemies firing rate increases madly. it was very hard to play, but not impressive to watch, even on the end of the movie (i stopped playing at 500.000 points, 24 minutes).

Well I have done one in about 2 month but I just deleted it.This game should not be published on Bisqwit main page.But how about Twin Cobra in 2 player mode?This game have an ending and is better than Tiger Heli.

i don't know that game, i'll check it out. personaly i don't like much games with auto-scrolling for timeattacks, i just made battletoads cause it has a lot of variation and is fast. tiger heli is so slow and the heli moves so slowly...

k, here. i think i miss a tank on the first screen. i wanted to keep shooting that roof that gives 10.000 points + 10 each hit, so i ignored the tank. but that's the only enemy i missed. i used red helpers for a long time and i didn't want to use bombs untill i had to. at a moment i lose both helpers, just before getting them back, then i land and stop the movie. EDIT: link doesnt work anymore

That's sad my deleted movie doesn't miss a single target at the screen and obtained the 10000 point.Never lose helpers.MAybe I can redo it.How many stages does it have FODA so I can redo it?

it doesn't end. and i missed it on purpose cause i kept shooting the roof for the 10 points score, it was just a test anyway to check how long it took to end. but it's an infinite game. i played for 24 minutes that's damn long for a slow repetitive game :)

there are no stages... at least it doesn't display anything, it doesn't even say level complete, it just lands to give extra points for accumulated powers. i don't know how many times i landed, and i think the game is better measured in time passed, as it is impossibe to change how long u take to get to each section (unless u die). i don't know exactly where it starts repeating, as it does not go back to the very start of the game. unless i'm mistaken and it does not repeat a whole section, but the incoming enemies patterns repeat. you can continue from where i stopped on the movie, if you have the guts. it was very hard at that point (so i had to waste 2 helpers in order to get through the 2 big tanks).

I recorded a movie on fceu using a game genie code SZSYAEGK and fceu at 800% speed. It took me 2 hours to get 999.999+ score and at that point the score just loops back to 0, so the game doesnt even crash, its infinite (i didn't try 99 lives, i had 28 when i stopped).

haha, yeah, I owned this game when I was younger, as well as a game genie--I put in the code for invincibility and let the game run all night with the tv off one night, just to see if there was an ending. There wasn't. I don't think I played it after that.
you're out of your element donnie!
