Description
In a grim future where a once-benevolent alien technology has turned against humanity, only a ragtag group of ace pilots can save the Earth from total annihilation. Code name: Thunder Force! This is the first installment of the massively popular shooter series on a 32-bit platform, and it's obvious from the moment your eyes and ears are overwhelmed by the audio-visual goodness. Five spectacular weapons with multiple power-up levels let you blast through the metallic menace and look good doing it. A constant barrage of innovative enemies keeps you intrigued while you're trying to stay alive. A speaker-imploding soundtrack has your foot tapping to the funky beat. Unbelievable rendered cut-scenes don't just draw you, but drag you kicking and screaming into the action.

Put simply, it's the ultimate blast-a-rama!.

Trivia
  • Variants, See Below


  • Working Designs has had a weird knack for delivering the final game on a system. Well, the same is true for the final games in a series. Both Thunder Force V and RayCrisis were the last chapter in both storylines.


  • The original Thunder Force was first brought on the Sharp X1 computer in 1983!


  • From a nifty graphic design point, the manual's page number folios all mimic the ships navigation set-up, with a globe-like set up as if the numbers were really rotating.

Greatest Hits
     This game was never released as a Greatest Hits.
