Thunder Force 3 - Genesis - Speed Run - Part 1/3

[mintydog06]

awesome game. used to love this one

[tohekkawaii]

it brings back my kindergarten memories

[dumbasspauldentonkin]

Oh god, those bassy sound effects feel so good on your ears.

[donate10]

Just great gamer ^^

[Eeeark]

Do you have some crazy rapid fire going on because the enemies seem to die really easily? I have the Japanese version of this game and enemies seem much tougher. Not to take away from your awesome playing :) If you can finish the game on Mania without dying thats freaking brilliant. Well done.

[lokb2000]

Good music and good game!

[zebdal]

it sounds TAS

[lonewulfyamcha]

they dont make game music like this anymore....

[bddblade]

Wow huge gfx upgrade from 3 to 4 :O

[Shinji0190]

One of the best OST´s on Genesis/Mega Drive ever. Gorgon Stage. :D

[Azakhiel]

One of my favourites games on the Genesis. It's short but it's a blast ! Good memories. And an awesome soundtrack. The winamp plug-in emulation doesn't do it justice.

[Globesoul]

back to the good old days 

[Orbot]

@Globesoul Oh yeah! I love the old school gaming days! I've played alot of space shooters, but the most memnorable and action packed were the Thunder force games! The action was fast paced, the weapons were so innovative! You literally wanted to spend hours glued tom ur tv playing these games...(regardless of how unhealthy that may have been, lol)

[bigmarv27]

"Man I Love This Game, Great Music, Great Game Play It Rock!!!!!"

[BuddhaMaster84]

I've played this game a loooooooooooot many years ago and the music makes me bath in joy still

[Kazamachampion]

This game is awesome. My 2nd favourite game on Sega Genesis.

[Kazamachampion]

I have this game and it´s awesome. My 2nd favorite game on Genesis. Stage that I hate is Haides.

[thegreatMSG]

How do you destroy the bosses so fast? I remember It took me quite a long time to kill them when I was playing this game ~12 years ago...(my favourate game) :P

[BouncekDeLemos]

Thanks for showing this!!! I see what I'm totally missing out on, This game looks awesome! I bought this game for 3 bucks, took it home, and it doesn't work. D: I even deep cleaned the contacts and still no-go.

[Edd731]

I've never played TF3, my introduction to the series was TF4 which is beyong amazing and still my fave shoot em up. This looks wicked.

[VegEdGoku]

Enough is Enough! That's a thinking we have to have now! That's a slogan of Victory!

Turn off TV.

Benjamin Fulford, Bill Cooper, David Icke, G. E. Griffin, Bill Hicks, Rafael Correa, Paul Craig Roberts, Carol Rosin, Jeff Rense, Alex Jones, We Are Change, Luke Rudkowski.

Try to reach those people who don't know The Truth, like reality show watchers.

[UnholyWarcry]

@VegEdGoku lol wat

[ence2523]

amazing classic, music is pure for this and all i could say is BEAUTIFUL GAMEPLAY!!!

[findyourownusername]

used emulator for this? pause/slowmo trick? If not..then this is insane

[vittau]

0:50 lol! Where's the fun if you don't take risks, huh? =P

I did finish this game on Maniac without losing a life, but I played it safe.

[DaSurreal1da]

I love the music of this game.....Hell of a shooter too....

[0nePumpChump]

speed run?  It's on rails, at a steady pace.

[albertshia]

5/5 on saving bullets.

[AMVDawg]

I can't do 2 stages on normal... THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! and you call that easy?!

[wgalletto]

I really love this game!

[doujindance]

Comfortable music by FM sound chip. But I prefer TFIV's music than TFIII.

[DualGreen]

Very obviously tool-assisted. It's not that it's very difficult to pull a mania difficulty no-miss clear, but the player's skill is incredibly inconsistent and the emulator is frequently running at the wrong speed (an obvious attempt to correct them playing in slow-mo). They also don't use the most effective weapon in many cases, on what they claim is a "speed run," further proving they've never actually legitimately learned the game. It's pretty shallow and pathetic to masquerade like this.

[CarmenOfSpades]

@DualGreen Well I'm not sure who "speed runs" a scrolling shooter anyway...

[zrultima]

your a god i just had to see the first leve to know my ass get whuped on normal

[alxxz]

Best shoot em up ever!

The wavy background at Gorgon fire stage, was one of the coolest things I had ever seen back in the day.

It’s obvious that they used a software sine algorithm to make it animate like a wave.

The Motorola 68000 was excellent at that.

[xanyleon]

I love Thunder Force... Geek out time! :D

[Blackberry7620]

Looks tool assisted to me.

[zebdal]

@Blackberry7620

nice to see that I'm not alone to think that

[TyltyI]

I wasted my youth on this game! Best shooter ever, I could beat it on Mania without losing more than 2 lives. But I was younger with better reflexes :)

[Kennychan222]

that brings me memory, i played it 9 years ago when i was studying grade 7 ..I love the music!

[123doomdoom]

U think music in this is good....go play gates of thunder for turbo duo...youll be blown away!

[Ghalheart]

I think the music in both games is amazing. That, and Lords of Thunder.

[123doomdoom]

ya.....also Nexr, Sapphire, dracula x, ys games spriggan 1 and 2 for duo jap. :-P

[Ghalheart]

This is also true. ESPECIALLY Ys and Dracula X.

[ultramegaunknown]

Best shooter series EVER!!!!

[sungkaban1]

One of the best Shooters in Video Games History

[cerra74]

When Shoot'm'up rules the world!One of the greatest game ever!

[beatshack]

i miss this game so much. i remember modifying my genesis with a file to fit megadrive games :) especially this one!

[teelein]

omg me too!! :D there have been some kind of adapter so that i could play this japanese game! but i was 5 or 6 years old, so this is pure nostalgia for me :D

[optimusP76]

now this game has some cuts man and if u dont think so u aint no gamer

[dinoskydiver]

PLs, where can we get the mp3 files for these musics?

I want to put it on my machine.. :)

Tks.

[atreides73]

yes, same here, I want to download it, the music is the best you can't get tired of it.

[Terramax]

@dinoskydiver

galbadia hotel

[AMVDawg]

@dinoskydiver 32gb2j5 tinyurl link

[singularity3]

@dinoskydiver You can download any sega genesis music on project2612 use the vgm plugin for foobar2000 to play them. You can convert them too, but you would need the encoder for whichever format you want to use.

[bxchulo320]

dude this is the best game i like planet siren what are u playing this with emulator or the genesis system?

[Dany67890]

Finally found this game again

[Anglostani]

Wonderfull game, Wonderfull Music. Games when they were games

[8589brian]

@Anglostani I always thought the graphics should never get too advanced otherwise games just don't look like a video game should.

[BenJabituya]

This game should REALLY come to the Wii Virtual Console!

[goldengirlsben]

This is the first game I played, when I was 4, and I was hoping it was on the Virtual console already. I am ready to replay it!

[ultramegaunknown]

The "Hydra" stage music reminds me of Blue Oyster Cult

[PipoPrincess123]

Hey, does anyone notice that the Gargoyle on Thunderforce 4 is the evolved, yet stronger version of the Gargoyle on TF3, but without the legs? Take a look at the Gargoyle on the Hydra stage in TF3 n the evolved Gargoyle on the Strite on TF4. Ya'll see what I mean.

P.S., I love the Gorgon music on there! It's in my head now, lol!

[moonlightaffairs]

good music!!! good game play!!! great ideas!!! imo, best shooting game for megadrive. used to play this game everyday last time. will clear the game hardest level everyday. too bad throw my megadrive and the game away becos too old and can't be play anymore. sigh!!! anyway, well done bro talbot 1939 for doing this. thanz!!!

[fanoultimate]

no, the best shooting game for megadrive is thunder force 4 :D

[RTypeMuseum]

Hydra? Looks more like giant chicken to me.

[Malasawas]

There is something im not pretty sure why happends... the sound of the weapons you take comes first that the catch of the weapon itself, im crazy? :P btw, i thounght normal was difficult but now... you know congratulation!

[harpinos]

I think it's emulator fake. But nice vid !

[enalvarado]

Is this you playing?

[talbot1939]

it's a me!

[enalvarado]

your skills is the truth...

[wildweasel486]

@talbot1939 Let me guess, you played in slow motion? Just the first few seconds of the video (where "you" are altering menu settings) seem inhumanly fast.

[Trigormike]

The music to this game is outstanding. I tried to relive my youth the other day and played this on an emulator, but it's too fast for my aging reflexes now. Slow, stupid, old bastard.

[drewminati]

All the thunderforce sounds tracks are great.. but lightening force is by the far the best

And thunderforc 5 for the saturn..

amazing and great memories

[Kennychan222]

I love all soundtracks from this great famous classical game.

[VonRichter]

Damn fantastic soundtrack.
