This month's "Retro Let's Play" for February 2024 is Silkworm from 1988.
Silkworm is a horizontal shooter, developed by Tecmo and first released for arcades in 1988. In 1989 it was ported to the Amiga, AtariST, Commodore 64, ZX Speccy, Amstrad and NES. There's even a homebrew conversion for the Dreamcast. You can take control of a jeep mounted with a machine gun or a helicopter mounted with forward and downward firing guns. Two players can work simultaneously and cooperatively against enemies, with one playing as the jeep and one as the helicopter. Silkworm featured a variety of enemies, some of which had specific weaknesses, such as the armoured AA guns that could only be harmed when their shields were down to fire.
Enemies included the "Goose" helicopter - a giant, heavily armoured "mini-boss" helicopter that was composed of several smaller vehicles connected together.
