I was blown away by this, I would never thought the VRC7 was up to this much capability as the genesis chip. It emulates the original (and its FM guitar riffs too!) very decently.

BTW, the VRC7 was used in Konami's Lagrange Point (japan only).

  • Distortion at it's finest.

  • @philiptwood lmao, no man. The VRC7 uses a cost reduced YM2413 which is unable to use more than 1 custom instrument at a time and has only 2 operators. The Genesis uses a YM2612 which can have as many custom instruments as you want and has 4 operators which allows way more diverse sounds.

  • VRC7 uses the exact same sound chip as the Sega Genesis.

  • 0:10 Holy Sh-ARRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

  • Oh, this has to be like your worst enemy playing a homage to you. So it was, thunderforce IV, king of the 16 bit era ;)

  • @singularity3

    This is probably the only tune from the game I actually like compared to III's OST. Yes the music sounds alright when you are playing the game but nothing that will get stuck in your head. "Metal Squad" is the ONLY tune that stands out. TF III just had more tunes that were better composed. Just a matter of opinion.

  • @TheDemoniusX Thunder Force 4 had a lot of awesome songs, including the intro, most of the boss themes, the staff roll, and of course this one. The only one I really like from 3 is the intro music, most of the songs are alright if you're playing the game, but nothing I would want to just listen to really.

  • Unforunately this is the only good tune in the game, TF III had a MUCH better OST by far but this song stands out as the best of the TF IV (to the kiddies this is known as Lightening force here in the US)

  • Great cover!

  • sounds abit scratchy like a old movie.
