I'll be dropping a sawbuck on this pretty much on nothing else but the raves of the usual EB suspects.

Ah, who am I kidding?  I'll play and love pretty much any 2D action game, its in my DNA.

WILL BUY AGAIN

I just got MORE THEXDER.

Nice bump in detail and there's added trophies too.  Still worth it even if you have the PSP version because THEXDER NEO IS MORE THEXDER.

The original version is also 10 times harder than Neo.  I don't remember it being that hard, but you die in like five seconds!   :lol

"holy crap, this is hard."

"firing your weapon takes away from your health, F this game, I'll just play a little longer so I can finish this damn, damned stage."

(something clicks)

"OMG!  THIS IS AWESOME!"

Demo great (peacekeeper mission is unpossible), will buy.  Sorry for ever doubting the power for THEXDER!

I just wish it was the Apple IIgs port. Better-quality music and that oh-so-awesome-yet-confusing title screen.

WTF IS GOING ON IN THIS SCREEN

WHAT IS THAT THING IN THE MIDDLE

Ever since I was 10 years old I've wondered

Also: Only now I realize that the Japanese at the title screen is gibberish

Everybody did!  All I can remember from the voice is that it sounded something like "GURININOGRIZUTIKA!  *moonlight sonata plays*"   :lol

Exact same game, but with HD assets, trophy support and online multiplayer. Also comes with the original PC game.

Finally got around to playing this last night. Pretty fucking fun and will become my quick game snack to play before heading out to work. Kinda reminds me a bit of Turrican in how you must approach each swarm of enemies. Slowly starting to get the hang of morphing in and out of ship form to take on some of the bigger swarms.

Currently at a 170,000 high score at a 54th place ranking.

They need to do a similarly-styled remake of Silpheed next.  The good (PC version) Silpheed, not that Sega CD mess.

The Thexder soundtrack doesn't sound like what I remember, though.  Guess it's a remix or from a different platform?

to be entirely fair, I don't have any real nostalgic attachment to the original other than having the crappy famicom port as part of a bootleg 40-in-1 cart. BUT STILL!
