Game Summary

Motorbike and sidecar shooting game.

Hardware Platform: -Unique or Unknown-

Game Details

Music isn't too bad, graphics aren't wonderful, gameplay is average but sound FX are poor. Guide your motorbike through levels picking up sidecar add-ons and shooting the army men and tanks a bit like 'COMMANDO'. This game has a DIP switch setting to change the title screen to 'TWIN FORMATION' for overseas use. The PCB is very small, 9x8 inches!
