TwinBee 3: Poko-poko Daimaou (1989)

TwinBee 3: Poko Poko Daimaō is a vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up video game produced by Konami released for the Famicom. It is the third and last game in the TwinBee series for the Famicom and it ditches Stinger's horizontal levels making it more in line with the first title. The game is considerably easier than its predecessors due to an option mode that allows players to adjust the difficulty and number of ships, as well as the inclusion of the new "soul reviving system", which allows players to recover their power-ups after losing a ship. The game uses digitized PCM voice samples, particularly when the conga music in one stage chants "Poko Poko", and in the beginning of each stage, in which a voice proclaims the name of the stage. It was re-released on April 14, 2006 as part of the i-Revo downloadable game service.

Storyline

Dr. Cinnamon was living peacefully with his three great-grandchildren in Donburi Island. One day, he asked the youngest to go on an errand by piloting the GwinBee aircraft. However, he never came back... The doctor was starting to get worried, when suddenly a loud voice resounded throughout the laboratory and said: "GwinBee is in my custody. My name is the Demon King Poko Poko". Quickly, he ordered his remaining two great-grandchildren to board the TwinBee and WinBee fighting airships and bring him back. And so, both courageous pilots set off on a journey to rescue GwinBee.
