Publisher Hamster has announced that Silk Worm is now available on Nintendo Switch and PS4 as part of the digital Arcade Archives series.

Originally released in Japanese arcades by Tecmo in 1988 and later ported to the NES, Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum, this is the first time that an arcade-perfect port of Silk Worm is commercially available.

In Silk Worm, one player takes flight in a helicopter while a second player operates a light armored vehicle. Both players work cooperatively to blast through your each stage, destroying all enemies that stand in your way (Commies, most likely).

Like other Arcade Archives titles, players can post their high scores to the online leaderboards and change various game settings to match their own personal skill levels and taste.

Arcade Archives Silk Worm is available today for $7.99 via PSN and the Nintendo Switch eShop.
