Title: Thunderforce V! Is this jp only?
Post by: Himu on May 24, 2007, 01:05:36 PM: It's on the Saturn, I know that, but will I have to import? I love Thunderforce 2 and 3 on Genesis and I'd like to play this. :(

Just look at this shit. It looks GODLY. Thunder Force what happened to you? Where is my new Thunder Force?

If I ever catch any of you playing the PS1 version, I will personally come round and smash your head with a sledgehammer.

I sold it the following day for $20.

How come... WD "improved" it for their US version?

Post by: Scurvy Stan on May 25, 2007, 01:46:11 AM: I was gonna say I swear I played that on PSX. It was pretty good but for some reason I have a much harder time with side scrollering shooters versus vertical ones.

It's not hard to find, though.
I wish they'd release them for XBLA or something. Thunderforce IV is my personal favourite as it was the first I played (can't believe it even got released in the UK).

Yeah, we got it in the U.S. too under the name "Lightning Force." Such an awesome game...I'd rather see that on XBLA than TFV.

No, LightEning Force is Thunderforce IV.

Post by: tiesto on May 29, 2007, 08:28:31 AM: Lightening Force is a really cool game but what I never understood about it is how come the first stage's boss is a total pain in the ass, but everything else is pretty easy?

First stage? Which one...you can choose from four stages!

Post by: drohne on May 31, 2007, 05:39:44 AM: wd didn't screw up the us release, but the ps1 port is pretty bad -- it's missing lots of parallax layers and background details and effects, and some levels consequently look horrible.

Post by: The Sceneman on May 31, 2007, 06:09:49 AM: I havent actually played Lightening Force which is embarrasing as I listen to the soundtrack ALL THE TIME
