Tiger-Heli (NES)
Tiger-Heli | ||||||||
|
Tiger-Heli is an early scrolling shoot-em-up where you pilot a helicopter through several stages of enemy combatants. It follows the basic strategy of early shumps: kill everything on the screen and avoid the bullets. The arcade game may have been just a little behind the times, but by the time it was ported to the NES, vastly superior scrolling shooters like Gradius (NES) were already on the market. The graphics are very primative, there is no animation to speak of, and the game has a very boring pace. Maneuvering the ship is a pain because it's so slow, the power-ups are uninspired, and the music is lame. The game doesn't even have an ending, the backgrounds just keep repeating until you lose all of your lives.

Music
The NES soundtrack comes from the arcade game, composed by Tatsuya Uemura, but it has been rearranged for the NES audio chips. Not ever song from the arcade game was ported to the NES, the High Score tune was left out.
This limited soundtrack of only five songs, three of which are fanfares, leaves much to be desired in the audio department; the sound is repetitive and bland. The music changes when you pick up a little heli, which is a nice touch, but aside from that, the entire game uses the same boring music.

Ripping NES music is a very arduous process that is beyond the scope of this site.
