>>> GAME UPDATES
----------------
There are several differences between Twin Hawk and its Japanese version 'Dai Senpuu' :
* Twin Hawk supports two simultaneous players.
* Dai Senpuu supports two players, but only one at a time. Because of this, it also supports Cocktail cabinets.
* In Twin Hawk, both planes are purple and pink for player 1 and 2 respectively.
* In Dai Senpuu, the planes are green for both players.
* In Twin Hawk, when you die, you continue the game at current position.
* In Dai Senpuu, when you die, you continue the game at predefined positions. This makes the game much more difficult to complete.
