Pedantry demands a “technically” to that previous fact: while Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits for DS (there dubbed “Rainbow Bell”) and Microsoft’s Game Room service for Xbox 360/Windows PC would feature the game before HAMSTER’s Arcade Archives, this “cute-’em-up” shooter never hit American arcade cabinets or cartridges. And what a coincidence: the 1985 shooter happens to be our first Japan-only game as well. Welp, it took only four games for our first 8-bit classic to finally stonewall me, the culprit being none other than Konami’s Twinbee. Today’s review is based upon HAMSTER’s Arcade Archives release of Twinbee for Sony PlayStation 4. But why is that the case? Join Anthony on his 8-Bit Chronicles, wherein he studies the industry’s building blocks in famous coin-munchers, failed experiments, and obscure gems.

The innate addiction coded within the circuit board-powered arcade cabinets and NES cartridges render them precious artifacts, their primitive graphics and relative brevity revered even today. Thank you for all of your support throughout the years - CoolROM will continue strong.Bleeps, bloops, and pixels: the cornerstones of classic gaming. We feel we have reached this goal and helped cure more cases of nostalgia than we could have ever imagined.

From the very beginning, our goal was to allow users to re-live classic moments from video games that they have lost and cannot purchase anymore. We are very grateful to have served the emulation community for so many years and to have CoolROM still exist today.
