Classic Game Room HD - THUNDER FORCE 3 review Pt1, Genesis

PART 1 of 2! Review of Thunder Force III for the Sega Genesis. One of the greatest side scrolling shooting games of all time.

Classic Game Room HD is a new member of the Classic Game Room family. A more relaxed, subdued show reviewing classic video games from the past 30 years.

The Sega Genesis 16-Bit Mega Drive monster was arguably the greatest video game console ever made. Hits like Revenge of Shinobi, Sonic the Hedgehog and Streets of Rage all saw heavy action on the Genesis.

One of the greatest games ever made was Thunder Force 3, a side scrolling shooter where you pilot your spaceshipa against wave after wave of enemy bad guys. This shmup is a legendary classic!

Be sure to watch the original Classic Game Room episodes. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD.

Please do a MUSHA review! That is my favorite Genesis shooter!

[InecomCompany]

The upcoming MUSHA review is so big, so massive and so comprehensive that's it's taking a while to produce. It is coming!

TF3 was the stuff. But TF4 was the stuff cubed.

@lfdgonzalez

The first 5 levels of TF4 were the best shooter of the 16 bit generation. 

It was almost entirely downhill from there.

TF3 was the best to that point, but it went downhill a lot slower than its sequel.

also this game has one of my favorite Genesis soundtracks EVER... music has been stuck in my head for days! Even caught myself humming it at work..

[valgalder]

just picked this game up again.. haven't played it in 20 years... so amazing! Was up all night playing and re-playing all the stages so I could be it in one run.. very addicting.

There actually are some great shooters that take advantage of the xbox 360 power. Check out :

Games were great where you dont really know whats going on! THUNDERFORCEIII had a subtle but hinted story. DOOM: A marine somewhere in space, fighting a threat all alone- even fighting trough hell. But you didn't really know whats going on! So is the same with DIABLO: You fight the devil in some medieval time, but you don't really know what time nor loation you really are! It's just a given situation and "limited possibilities". The rest is your imagination and gaming history!
