  • A playthrough of Thunder Force 3 on highest difficulty setting without dying. While this game is much easier than other Thunder Force games, it is still hard to survive on Mania difficulty. It is best to start from Haides stage: this way the last stage before Cerberus battleship will be Seiren where you can renew your shield for the last time (no shield power ups can be found on final stages).

    I first played Thunder Force III in April 1991. I never forgot such a wonderful experience. It was the best shoot-em-up on Megadrive, it's clear!

      I'd give the nod to Thunder Force IV, longer game, more challenging, the absolute pinnacle of the series. Not to mention some nice special effects in some stages, like flying over that desert stage, and what looks to be a sandstorm going on.

    This was the game of my childhood! I miss those days!
    I got the JP MegeDrive 4 months before the official UK release version, I got with ThunderForce 3 that had just been released at the time, June/July of 1990. I played this game to death, I also used to play this game through with no death and end with around 26 lives. I committed everything to memory!
    Anyway, fast forward 31 years, I recently made myself a RetroPie, and this was the first game I had to hunt down. It amazing how you forget, I can't barely complete 1 level now.

    I started rewatching the gameplays for this game about 5 years ago, and it literally had one video. Glad that there are more people that know this gem. Not running into the environment is one of the hardest parts of this game imo. We literally had sonic 1, last battle, this, battle toads double dragon, mortal kombat series, atomic runner and robokid. What a good time. Nostalgia city!
