Welcome back to the Brainstorm Emporium Gaming. Tiger-Heli is a vertically scrolling shooter game developed by Taito released for arcades in 1985.
Tiger-Heli is a military-themed vertically scrolling shoot 'em up game, in which players take control of the titular attack helicopter through four increasingly difficult levels in order to defeat an assortment of military enemy forces like tanks, battleships, and artillery as the main objective.
Besides some airplanes taking off, there are no flying enemies in the entire game.As far as vertical scrolling shooters go, the title initially appears to be very standard, as players control their craft over a constantly scrolling background and the scenery never stops moving until a helipad is reached.
Players have only two weapons at their disposal: the standard shot that travels a max distance of half the screen's height and two bombs.
A unique game play feature is the bomb mechanic; unlike other games in the genre released at the time, the bombs are powerful weapons capable of obliterating any enemy caught within its blast radius.

There are also three types of items scattered through every stage in total that appear as destructible flashing crosses: extra bomb stocks and two variations of helicopter "options" that attack at the player's will against incoming enemies, while is also possible to mix and match the two helicopter option types, totaling no more than two. And here is when you start to use F words instead of commas because they creates lots of chaos in the game...in my opinion.
These items can be picked up by shooting their respective cross color but grabbing any item when not necessary yields bonus points
The player are given three lives initially and bonus lives are awarded by reaching certain score thresholds or collecting ten gold diamonds in a row by shooting them.There are also hidden bonus secrets to be found as well.
I'm going to give you a break and I leave you to the game.
Well...time to put an “out of order” sticker on my head and call it a day. I hope you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching the video that was so nice of you drop a like and see you soon...
