Twin Hawk[a] is a 1989 vertically scrolling shooter arcade video game originally developed by Toaplan and published by Taito.

Twin Hawk is a military-themed vertically scrolling shoot 'em up game reminiscent of Flying Shark, in which players assume the role of a wing commander from the Daisenpū squadron taking control of a Flying Fortress fighter aircraft (known as the A6M Zero Fighter) through multiple levels to defeat an assortment of military enemy forces like tanks, battleships, and artillery to overthrow general Giovanni and his army as the main objective.

The game loops back to the first level after completing the last one as with previous titles from Toaplan, with each one increasing the difficulty and enemies fire denser bullet patterns.

After taking over the town of Kusunoki, the Fuangania invasion – consisting of massive ground and sea attack forces – started to spread.

[11] Twin Hawk was later ported by Center Tech and published by NEC Avenue to the PC Engine exclusively in Japan on 14 December of the same year after the Mega Drive version.

[4] In Japan, Game Machine listed Twin Hawk on their August 1, 1989 issue as being the seventh most-successful table arcade unit of the month, outperforming titles such as Flipull and Golden Axe.

[16] In more recent years, the rights to the game and many other IPs from Toaplan are now owned by Tatsujin, a company named after its Japanese title that was founded in 2017 by Masahiro Yuge and is part of Embracer Group since 2022.
