Thunder Force II サンダーフォース2 Full Run HD (Interlaced)

[rojman123]

Hard to believe I beat this game as a kid. Since I lost all my games over the years, I picked this cart up for a few bucks at my local gaming store. I SUCK at this game now!

[kirgeez]

@rojman123 I believe this to be one of the harder TF games. At least you beat it most people can't do that... If I start playing it today I would not fair as well as I did in the video because I don't play all the time....

[MrGameSack]

Thunder Force 2 allows you to beat it on Normal difficulty, but not Training. No need to set it to hard in either the JP or US version.

[kirgeez]

@MrGameSack I believe only certain roms do. I had the original rom back in 89 and if you played it on normal it would allow you to get to stage 8 then the game would start all over again. Even the emulator rom I am playing here in this video would do the exact same thing. ( I tried it....lol)

[MrGameSack]

@kirgeez That's definitely interesting. I bought the game at launch in 89 and I was able to get the ending with normal.

[kirgeez]

@MrGameSack Yeah so do I (well my dad he actually bought it). Even the manual stated that that game could not be beat unless it was on hard.... I guess It's another excuse to make another video....lol

[MrGameSack]

@kirgeez Just checked out my manual and it is kind of odd what it says. It says that I won't be able to play level 5 on NORMAL, but I can select level 5 and play it right away even on TRAINING. But on TRAINING I can only play 1 level, but on Normal I can play all levels (maybe it means I need to start from level 1-4 in order to play all levels on NORMAL). According to the scorebook in the back, I first beat it in 11-26-1989. :)

[kirgeez]

@kirgeez I checked today and you are correct!! You complete the game on normal you just cant start on stage 5 if you want to complete the game...

Congratulations on surviving one of the most difficult shmups ever made for the Sega Genesis!

[kirgeez]

@TimelordR thanks

[kirgeez]

@TimelordR I'll try to make a no miss video one of these days...lol

[egg64]

@kirgeez No miss as in no deaths?

[kirgeez]

@egg64 Yeah. But what are you referring to?

[egg64]

@kirgeez LOL, I had no idea. To some it means no deaths, others it may mean not missing any items or 1ups, just inquiring.

[kirgeez]

@egg64 Oh ok I see I have seen both that mean no deaths. I guess I will have to be clearer next time...:)

[capnpayne]

@egg64 no miss always means no deaths in shooting game terminology =P

[killacamrizzle]

ok, i c y u died twice... Hell, i would've dun da same thang & said fuck it... HIT EM WIT EVERYTHANG U'VE GOT!!! LOL...

[kirgeez]

@killacamrizzle I have a video where I pull that off without dieing...:)

[killacamrizzle]

WTF!?!? How'd u do dat shield trick?????

[kirgeez]

@killacamrizzle If you collect the sheild while dying you will be saved and you will keep all of your weapons and not lose a life. This trick also works on the horizontal stages but is harder to pull off...lol

[killacamrizzle]

I coudn't get thru da 1st stage cuz i didn't kno where ALL da bases @ & they keep fuckin me up!! But u did a good job on it, though... now i gotta get my space shooter skills up, lol!!

[kirgeez]

@killacamrizzle I have a save state playthrough of this as well but with no deaths of course. You can use them to see where those bases are on the over head stages. While you are added check out my videos of the sharp version it has more stages. (I have one stage missing however)

[killacamrizzle]

@kirgeez Oh...... Ok, so da ShaRP version is way tougher than dis... nah, i think i'll pass on dat, lol...

[killacamrizzle]

dis game is HARD AS FUCK!!!!!

[kirgeez]

@killacamrizzle Not as hard as the Sharp X68000 version. Trust me that one is extremely hard.

[torm223300]

Looks a lot like Time Pilot but with a specific targets protected with walls.

[torm223300]

You did die once in game. But still not bad for a 1cc run.

[kirgeez]

@torm223300 I died twice I said its not a no miss run but close...:)
