man i rembre beating the game and getting rewarde with this bad ass peice of aesome!! back when beating a game meant something blah screw throphies!! lol no offense to u throphy hunters on PSN.
@MUSHAFIGHTER Screw new video games. Gimme 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128-bit. That's when video games were real. Graphics are nice. But substance is better. That's why TF4 rulz. With the exception of maybe Halo, Streetfighter, or Metal Gear series, there's no substance to video games anymore. All eye-candy and no calories!!!
@Skyline1994PL So true! In my book, this is the best Side scroller shooter. Better than Gradius, better than Lifeforce. And all the soundtrack kick so much ass!
@PsychoPoet406 i agree 100% this theme shivers my spine too. It evocates me feelings too complex to describe. I used to play this being 12,13... im almost 30 now and i still hold my breath and do like i am dodging somthin' when the lasers come out of nowhere in the fifth stage. I even "dodge" the crumbling ship! haha :)
@MyVanillaIrony In thunderforce III they are seen clearly as male and female pilots. Maybe here they are they are couple or maybe not (but the ship is 2 manned for sure as seen in most illustrations) , maybe just pals, or maybe the girlfriend or boyfriend waiting home.. man i would hug my flying comrade like that too after the last 2 stage bosses.. holy shit xD
I can almost imagine Japanese lyrics going with this piece. I remember when I first listened to this track. Made tears well up because it was emotional!

S.S.H made an awesome remix of this, sounds pretty much like the original except with more "real" sounding instruments and some small guitar solos.

There have been a few crap remixes of this, none of which comes close to the passion and energy of the original. One of the best themes of all time.

this track is the best as an end theme... they need to release this game for a modern console. even on a 5.1 sound system, this song is amazing!

@ZycaLaser That's the only reason I can think of as to why TFIV supports a second player that controls the same ship as player 1 XD
