****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: I bought this game about 4 years ago for $5.  I think
that I actually owned it before that, as well. 

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: Tiger-Heli is your classic shooter.  You fly a 
helicopter and you must destroy the enemies.  You can also destroy 
neighborhoods for bonus points.  You can destroy anything and everything.  
There are also power-ups to upgrade your ship.  It's pretty fun to play, but
it is kinda simple by today's standards.      
Liked: Fun shooter action.
Hated: Somewhat simple gameplay.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Tiger-Heli is an NES game and it shows.  The vehicles 
and the other objects are very simple and plain looking.  They do the job, 
but don't expect any eye-candy. 
Liked: Decent graphics.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Tiger-Heli has decent music.  It's nothing 
spectacular, but it's okay.  It sounds like the usual videogame music.  The
sound fx are very simple.
Liked: Okay music.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Tiger-Heli has very responsive controls.  They're
also easy to learn.  The game design is good, but it's just more of the same
shooter action.  
Liked: Responsive controls.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Add some unique aspects to the gameplay.

RIYL: Raiden, Raiden 2, Gradius. 

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Tiger-Heli is a pretty good, but not excellent, game.  It proves
that some NES games are still as good as they used to be.
