I would love to see a 'behind the scenes' of this game's development. The graphics, the long creative levels, solid controls, the fearsome giant bosses, the fact that this game has close to 50 tracks that offer some of those most metal 16-bit music ever heard on a home console. There was such much damn passion and care given to this game, it brightly shows. Lightening Force / Thunder Force IV..., truly the best shmup on the Genesis and 1 of the GREATEST SHMUPS of all time.

Man of culture, this is supposed to be a boss only vid, but you keep the full stage 8 just for the best BGM Metal Squad

Pretty impressive. The game gets even harder with all the weapons equiped, specially peaks if you have Hunter and Blade. Enemies and bosses shoot more bullets. For example Formalhaut shoots an additional barrage of bullets at its first phase (Hate it) and also at its last. Also depending if you have any extra weapon, on Stage 2 (colony) when you start you fight an additional sub boss. This kind of changes make the game so interesting but also harder, that's why I love it and still my fav shmup ever.

Despite being only 8 megs in size, this is still one of the best looking & playing games on the Genesis.

13:38 most EPIC MOMENT in game ; )

Take’s me back to my childhood memories .

Greatest shump on the Genesis, music, graphics, length, challenge it nails it all. The only downside is the slowdown.

This game has wonderful musics and graphics!

Not gonna lie. When I saw the boss name "VERSUS", I thought you would fight a doppelganger.

@Shadowserg the "giant ship" is called "Cerberus II", according to the Thunder Force Wiki.

Sums up why my father actually preferred shoot 'em ups over RPGs considering the latter is not really his cup of tea in general. He has said something about leveling up real world skills instead of in-game characters.

I love how Fomalhaut is just straight up a Neue Ziel from Gundam

Darn, this game had great soundtracks.

I like how the bad guys added legs to the last boss in case it got the thrusters destroyed.

Love this game, good job man

Bom trabalho, deve ter se esforçado muito. Meus parabéns.

The fact that a giant final boss's backup means of movement was tiny robotic feet amuses me for some reason.

Hard for me to normally get into SHMUPS but this one is awesome.

Never realized the giant ship gets destroyed by versus...huh.😮 loved all the thunder force games for genesis.

Incredible music.

Best Shoot Em Up game all time.

Shoot'em up games are not my favourites, but this game is a exception, I really played this much during my childhood.

Congratulation !

The game that introduce me to METAL music, LOVE IT!!! Good job in the game play bro, so dope!!!

Io dico solo una cosa:Bravissimo!!

Christmas came early, 'cause Serg kicked a shmup's ass! Observations: What kind of name is "Ratt Carry" for a spaceship to have, anyway!? This might sound odd, but one of my favorite aspects of shmups is the vast, detailed backgrounds; cities, countries, whole continents of techno-organics as far as the eye can see. Do the mini-bosses prior to the Evil Core have names? You included them but they don't have time stamps. I LOVE the little fat guy inside the core goddamn. Giger does The Penguin. He's weirdly cute and seems to be just minding his own business, spinning like that. Who are you to judge his choices!? Oh God, the final boss is the great-great-etc-etc grandson of the horrible nigh-impossible crab boss from Order of Ecclesia! Run away! Emperor Gava from Contra is probably a relative too.

best ost game ever !!!

Cool👍👍👍👍!!!

If you haven't already you should check out the Saturn port of this game. Exact same graphics and music, but ZERO slowdown.

Which Thunder Force is the one with the final boss that is a giant eye with veins. Used to play it alot in a laundry back in 95' place that had the arcade till they took it off. If you know and can help out. Thanks

Spoiler…. Your ship becomes the enemy in the fifth installment, and another in the 6 installment.

Stage 2 was G Darius Zone Zeta

All Genesis 2012 from PSP

Formalhaut was look like Alpha Azieru from Gundam CCA

Самая первая моя игра шедшая в комплекте с приставкой sega mega drive

Minuto 19, se ve claramente que tocas suelo y no mueres, también un láser azul te impacta y la nave parpadea sin que mueras

What about a Thunder Force VI bosses no damage.

5:38 for a sec I thought that was the Power Rangers theme

always sucked at how easy Faust was compared to the rest of the game, with all the hype, and the amazing size and music.

While this game's soundtrack is in my top 3 for the Sega Genesis, it's not even in my top 10 for the soundchip, itself! The Megadrive hardware uses a crippled revision of the YM2608, the YM2612, which has a number of powerful features removed. The cost-cutting is why the Megadrive has distorted notes, while the PC98 does not.

36:54

Y no REMAKE ???

¡Qué aburridísimamente pesadas y largas son las batallas contra los jefes cuando no tenés el arma completamente mejorada!

Hold on, this game kinda remind me one of the Gamehouse game. Ah yes Astrobatics

the music tho is from doom eternal i think

Además se nota mucho que lo has jugado muy lento y luego lo has acelerado, este video es un despropósito

Haciendo trampa cualquiera lo hace

I feel like the Thunder Force franchise should have ended here.

What's with the idiocy of not using any weapon power ups?
