Tiger-Heli (USA)

In Tiger-Heli, players pilot a military helicopter in a relentless aerial combat. This is a classic top-down vertical-scrolling shooter (shmup) where the screen continuously moves upwards, and your mission is to destroy every enemy that appears in your path.

Your helicopter is equipped with a continuously firing machine gun that shoots forward. Additionally, you can collect power-up items to enhance your firepower. Upgrades include: Side Blasters, which fire to the sides, expanding your attack range; and Bombs, a limited-use weapon capable of dealing massive area-of-effect damage, very useful when facing multiple enemies or heavily armored targets.

Enemies in Tiger-Heli are diverse, ranging from ground vehicles like tanks and armored cars to fighter jets and anti-aircraft turrets. Each enemy type has its own attack patterns and movements, requiring players to have quick reflexes and sound tactics to dodge projectiles and eliminate them. The game is known for its high difficulty, and players need to memorize enemy spawn patterns and power-up locations to survive.

The ultimate goal of each stage is to defeat a boss or navigate through a heavily defended area. Tiger-Heli offers a pure action experience, challenging players' piloting skills and reaction times through each level.
