DARIUS TWIN

 

By Taito Super Famicom/Snes 1991

 
 

'Warning: Rather a lot of huge Battleships are approaching...'

Darius Twin was a fairly early Snes shooter which surprisingly stands up fairly well against many of the later titles released on the Nintendo machine (it's probably better than its sequel Darius Force). What I like about the Darius games are the bonkers over-sized scampi that are the bosses and Darius Twin is no exception. Take a look at this lot, and don't forget that fishing net..

 

 
   

 


A very large prehistoric fish

 

 


Two very large prehistoric fish with
frankly rather dubious paint-jobs

 

 


A very large cephalapod (that's a squid)
I think.. ..or is it a lobster?

 

 


An oversized mechanical crayfish?

 

 



This big sea-horse gives birth to lots of baby sea-horses (with rather dire results for you..)

 

 



You've got to laugh at some of these boss names -'Full Metal Shell' ?! Nice one Taito..

 

 



Now this is more like it! The penultimate boss
is this huge mother-of-a-fish battleship..

 

 



Although the last boss is a bit of a let down - this rather useless boss looks like a cross between a walrus and a vacuum cleaner..
