Gate of Thunder (Turbo Grafx 16 SUPER CD-ROM2 / Turbo Duo)

One of my top favorite shooters and it's got the arcade feel! Check out my review for it here - http://lazerdorks.org/hardcoregaming/got/index.html . Brings tears of joy to Johnny Turbo's eyes.

Reminds me of M.U.S.H.A. for Sega Genesis.  Check that one out on YouTube.

About the background music for this one. AWESOME! It really reminds me of some real 80s song... We Belong TOgether or something like that... I'll think more and get back on that :)

Definitely let me know the song, I'm always interested in hearing similarities between video game and mainstream music! The music in Gate of Thunder was actually composed by a British dude.

This game has some pretty awesome music. I didn't know the Grafx 16 had this great a sound chip. Pitty the machine was never released UK.

But ecco is still my favorite, for game music that is.

I don't think Gates has any chiptune tracks, as least from what I can think of.

[matthewdoucette]

has a very thunder force feel to it

[Keranu]

Definitely Thunder Force inspired, but I love GoT waaay more. So much more polished, in my opinion.

Gates of Thunder and Lords of Thunder! epic Turbo Duo games with great music!

@TheInvalidUserID All the music is off the CD mate!

[TheInvalidUserID]

Then I must say, it had a pretty good built-in music thingy. No idea what to call the thingy.

Looks like I'm gonna have to make a Blazing Lazers video.
