Yeah, but it would sell a hell of a lot more on the PS2. Smaller developers need all of the exposure they can get.Quote:

I used to suck at the game when I first owned my Genesis. But now I can beat it asleep without losing a ship. Luckily there's Mania.Quote:

Thanks for the corrections on the ship spinning. I don't know where I got that one from.
I consider Thunderforce 4 one of the great masterpieces of gaming. That is all.
And Saturn TF5 comes off better graphically than the PSone version. It even looks like the clouds in Human Road have less color in the PSone version. *-neo
Is it just me, or is the forest-stage boss in TF5 almost exactly like the forest-stage boss in Panzer Dragoon II? It seems mighty fishy to me...
Thunder Force IV. It's all about the music. Thanks to the wav-dumping feature of Gens, I hear the TFIV intro every time my PC loads into Windows.
<anti-emulation_people_disclaimer>And yes, I own the original cart (bought mint/complete at FuncoLand for $10), so having the ROM does not make me a thief.</anti-emulation_people_disclaimer>
I used to rent TFIV ahile back and I belive it was one of the best shooter experiances I've ever been treated to. Sadly, the game just vanished and I've never had the chance to find it. I was also interested in TFIII because of how positive the reviews were, yet I was only a kid, never quite being able to afford anything unless either of my parents were willing to help out for the purchase.... :(
lightening force for me.
even today, that game still blows away. how is the genesis doing that?
I voted Lightening Force on Genesis as my favorite. I have both loved and hated that !@#$ game. It's a lot more difficult than Thunderforce 3 IMO, which is a GREAT thing over the years, it keeps my interest high. Man, it actually feels good to talk about these games again, it's been a while for me. I haven't played any shooters for at least half a year or more; I suspect that soon the itch will come over me again.
Anyway, LF would cause me to pass out in disbelief if it weren't for the bit of slowdown that reminds us which system it is on. I don't mean that in a negative way really; LF is just a drop-dead gorgeous, fast and exciting shooter and it surely must be maxing out the Genny. I love the Sandstorm on Daser (I think that's the name), and the decent in the clouds in other level culminating in that HUGE boss.
I must resist the urge to play these games tonight ... I just don't have time to waste the whole night playing them again. Gotta wait for a better time ...
