Join in as the daring duo set out to avenge their people.

Mega Twins

Get set for a beat-'em-up of epic proportions as you take on the roles of the fabulous Mega Twins, battling to restore peace to their beloved land of Alurea.

For over 1000 years, the people of this marvellous land had lived without warfare, forgetting completely how to go about defending themselves. So, not surprisingly, it came as rather a shock to them when a terrible monster came down in their midst, decimating everything in its path. Intact, so horrendous were the ravages of this beast, that only two people survived the destruction of the country - the king's twin sons.

Now, fifteen years later, you must take on their personas and set out on a desperate quest to revenge your father's death. The only way order can once more be restored to Alurea, is by getting possession of the legendary Dragon Blue Eyes stone.

Of course, the stone is now being held by the big bad beastie, so you can be sure that your quest to reawaken your people is not going to be an easy one.

As the daring duo, get set to battle your way through six gruelling and totally different levels of arcade action. Just to give you a taste of the variety in store, you get to take on the beast's evil henchmen on land, in the air and underwater to boot, so make sure you've packed your flippers before you set off on your adventure.

The controls are pretty easy to get the hang of and it won't be long before you're despatching with the bad guys in no small manner. In fact, from the very beginning, doing just that is enormous fun. However, don't, forget that at the end of it all, the big, bad beastie is waiting for you. Try to conserve your energy at all times, and don't forget to pick up as many power-ups as you can along the way, you're going to need them.

Mega Twins

There is plenty of colour in this blast and the graphics are certainly worth a look at.

If you like a good sound track and plenty of special effects, Mega Twins won't disappoint you either. All in all, this is one blast that has to be seen to be properly appreciated. The graphics are excellent and the gameplay is totally addictive at all times.

If you're looking for that extra something to fill your Christmas stocking and keep your trigger finger happy, then look no further than this superb offering from US Gold.
