About this product
Product Information
More than 100 years ago a war broke out between our Galaxy Union and the Empire of Lone. Over time the war spread throughout almost half the galaxy. The Empire, backed by massively hellish weapons, has diminished the Union's armed forces considerably, placing it in an extremely precarious position.<br><br>The Empire's main base and five major planets (Hydra, Gorgon, Seiren, Haides and Ellis) are hidden by a Hexa-Cloaking-System and protected by Killparos, a Remote Intercepting System, that can destroy anything in the vicinity.<br><br>Facing almost certain defeat, the Union unleashes the Fire Leo 3 (codenamed Styx), a starfighter that is small enough to avoid enemy detection, yet powerful enough to cruise at four different speeds and pick up and carry a number of powerful weapons (such as twin shots, backfire, shields, force field claws and ultrasonic waves).<br><br>To restore peace to the galaxy, you must pilot the ship through all five major Empire planets and the Planet of Empire Lone, blasting and avoiding hordes of enemies as you go.<br><br>The stages in this game let you fly over, through, and around several types of terrain, including a virgin forest, lava, water, craggy holes, and ice. At the end of each stage, you'll face one of the following giant bosses: Gargoyle, Twin Vulcan, King Fish, G-Lobster or Mobile Fort. Each boss has a vulnerable spot somewhere on its body.<br><br>Project Thunder Force III is underway! See if you have what it takes to rid the universe of the evil Empire!Product Identifiers

Only for shooter fans
Incredibly frustrating one hit deaths. Cheap deaths that you can't see coming that are unavoidable unless you have already played the level. To me, this is bad game design. Complete memorization and trial and error is not fun for me. All it does is make me angry. It's designed to make you angry. The only thing I liked about this game was the music. And the graphics are good for their time. This is considered one of the easiest shooters out there. If you're a shooter veteran maybe. If you love old school shooters or "shmups" you'll probably think this is a classic though. But not me.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Don't Miss This Gem
Thunder Force 3 is an amazing horizontal shooter. Along with Thunder Force IV (Lightening Force in the US), this is an experience every Genesis or Mega Drive owner must try even if you don't get in to shooters. The graphics are WAY ahead of their time, the music is some of the best on the Mega Drive, and the gameplay is tight, hard, but far and extremely satisfying.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Still got it.
It's challenging, but very fair. You won't beat it on your first try, but persevere, and you'll make it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
