Genesis Thunder Force III overload ! Magazine pre|reviews, tons of scans


Recommended Posts

mods: please remove the other topic from Genesis sub-forum, this my finished version, thanks :)


This is for Thunder Force III fans, every magazine article I could find from ~1990 on the king of Genesis scrolling shoot 'em ups.

Yes, you'll notice a mistake here and there, as was the norm for video game magazines.


I remember every one of these articles. The last image is the ending, so don't look if you don't wish to have it spoiled.


Enjoy.

Good game but too short. I beat it on my 2nd try.... first try was learning the controls lol. I think it was only like 40 minutes max?

 

Nice pics.

If the default difficulty was too easy then you can raise it in the options menu. To access the options menu hold down A, B, C, and Start at the title screen then release A, B, and C. :)

 

Also, big thanks to Parallax for the great articles! Thunder Force III on the Genesis is by far my all time favorite horizontal scrolling shooter (with possibly my favorite soundtrack of any game ever) so it was a real treat getting to see all this literature for a game I so adore! :D
