This is the VHS right? I still have this somewhere! Unfortunately I do not have the PCE or TG16/Duo or the game...but have played it. I do have the OST- which is great.
LoL at 3:08-3:23!!!! Like that wasn't staged. I remember watching this promo on VHS as a kid in the 90's and even then me and my cousin would laugh at how absolutely cheesy it was. Why did they make such a shitty promo for such a great game? no wonder the turbo duo didn't sell for shit in the U.S. The marketing team was obviously smoking huge boulders of crack to come up with this garbage.
It's unfortunate that you chose the word "noob", since it's common knowledge that Lords of Thunder was exclusive to Turbo Duo at the time and only later appeared on Sega-CD after the Duo was discontinued.
Just as Dreamcast Sega exclusives later made their way to Gamecube after Sega exited the hardware business.
Back in OUR day we didn't have any of this fancy intertube stuff. We had to fill out a form in a magazine, mail it in, then wait 8 weeks for a 7 minute VHS tape.
This is a pretty retarded promo. There's just so much random shitty footage of people (like the bitch in the car) basically saying "it's awesome", when they wouldn't know a video game if you shoved it up their ass sideways and twisted it. It's like they paid these guys 20 bucks and a pizza to make this thing.
I have one of those shirts but it has a different and better design (fr and bk). I've never worn it but somehow it go stained. I also have this promo tape. I ALSO had the DUO and almost the entire collection of games before I sold it. I wish I hadn't now. :(
I remember we had this looping at Babbages all day long. They actually sold a lot of TG16 and TurboDuo systems because of Lords of Thunder, Gate of Thunder, the Splatterhouse games, Bloody Wolf, Devils Crush, and the Legendary Axe games that we had on demo. We also had Dracula X for people to play, but we couldn't sell it (though we told people how to import it).
I love these games...but then again I can't spend more than 10 minutes on it since it doesn't have any depth...and that was the problem with the Turbo Grafx 16/PC Engine/ Turbo CD/ PC Engine CD/Turbo Duo/PC engine duo system/s because it/they had too many of those games...
lol I still have the tape! The box is a lil beat up, but pretty much in good condition. Man Hudson better put this on the Nintendo Wii VC or XBLA, or even PSN!
Oh...my...GOD (Ha, ha I read that comic)! You DO realize that you've uploaded the same video twice, do you? Hmm...this does remind me of a certain game. Side-scrolling shooter? Upgradable weapons? Shops? Crystals as currency? MAGICAL CHASE?! You like death metal because of this game, don't you? YAY BOMBERMAN!
Thank you so much for uploading this! I remember getting this video back in '92 (I was 11) and laughing my ass off at the "ever since I had my baby, that's all I do!" haha, haven't seen this in 15 years!
how about instead of playing lords of thunder, you should take care of your fucking kid, lady!

@sowdeedubs505 3:24-3:31 Obviously the filmmakers were more interested in making a "Races of Death" video than a game promo.

Compare this promo tape to any other promo tape.
It just doesn't compare, only the Lords of Thunder Promo tape has that authentic arcade feel.
Not only that but when you wait to the end you unlock footage of BOMBERMAN!!!!

Oh and the game was great too.

Ah, sorry about that. I not sure what death metal even sounds like, so I thought that Lords of Thunder featured it as its music.
OceanBlueKirby 4 years ago
Death Metal is lots of grunting and power chords.

Heh, is that so? I think I have heard that type of music before, and I believe it depends on the type of grunting for its appeal.
