Okay, so Twin Bee 3 is one of those classic NES shooters that somehow flew under the radar compared to stuff like Gradius or R-Type. You pilot this cute little bee-shaped ship (yes, with googly eyes) and blast through colorful levels packed with floating islands, giant fruit power-ups, and enemies that look like they escaped from a toy box.

What makes it stand out? You’ve got this bell system—shoot floating bells to change their color, then grab them for different upgrades. Red gives you speed, blue adds firepower, and if you’re lucky, a rainbow bell turns your shots into screen-clearing lasers. Messing with the bell combos is half the fun, though sometimes you’ll panic-grab the wrong color mid-boss fight (we’ve all been there).

It’s got that classic ‘80s arcade vibe—bright, chaotic, and just hard enough to make you curse at the screen when you lose your power-ups. The music’s pure chiptune cheerfulness, which almost makes up for how brutal some of the later stages get. If you dig old-school shooters with a quirky twist, this one’s a solid time capsule.
