Kyuukyoku Tiger (J) [!](GoodGEN 2016-01-31)

Hack description

This hack replaces most background tiles and sprites (version 2.00) to make the game look closer to the arcade version. Palettes have also been modified to bring the game closer to the arcade version.

Includes one IPS patch for the NTSC-U version "Twin Cobra" and one for the the NTSC-J version "Kyuukyoku Tiger".

Version 2.00 changes:
-most sprites have been redrawn: enemy helicopters now have proper shadow and highlight colors, turrets are now blue as seen in most arcade stages, tanks are less yellow and have one more shade etc.
-more palette changes for better contrast and arcade feel
-some wrongly colored tiles fixed in stage 5 and 10

This hack brings Twin Cobra back to its arcade roots.thepatrickinator2016-07-22Version 2.00

Sega Genesis games have very good arcade ports but their colors seem to be way off, and this is where you come in and fix it. I really love how this hack brings Twin Cobra back to its arcade roots. Well done!
