I just realized that this thread (discussing the virtues/shortcomings of the power-up system in Twin Bee) has made me better appreciate the goddamn Twin Bee series! Not that I have completely changed my opinion, of course.

Not that I have completely changed my opinion, of course. That's what we're here for, bro.Seriously though, Twin Bee stood out because it was a series of games in a massive flood of vertical shooters that tried something a little different and succeeded. True, it's not to everyone's taste, but it's tries a few different things which has earned it a place in the shoot-em-up hall of fame due to a fact that the differences are not just superficial but related to the core of the game itself.
