Typhoon 1987 Konami

1987

Typhoon (c) 1987 Konami.
Take control of a powerful helicopter and blast enemy strongholds in this superb shooter from the good folks at Konami. Typhoon features some impressive graphics filled with rotation and scaling effects (some may get a little dizzy, though!), a solid soundtrack and excellent game control. Highly recommended for any shoot'em up enthusiast!
