They did a really great job at pushing the turbografx-16 to it's limits. I am surprised there was no slowdown when a lot of sprites get on the screen. Must be the extra ram that helped.
My friend and I used to have Gate of Thunder shoot offs... who could beat the game without dying and get the highest score. Played this so much back in the day that I could of played Devil mode blindfolded! lol Ahhh, the memories.
+psychoticgiraffe Haha. If you think it's bad here, you should play it on the Wii Virtual Console. I think something is wrong with the emulation because the music is even quieter. It's nearly impossible to hear when a lot of stuff is going on.
If I didn't know any better id say this is an offspring or actually part of the Thunder spirits/force series. The game play is precisely the same as Thunder force.

Gate of Thunder. As perfect a video game as any ever made, and you played it perfect. Great vid.

I think Duran Duran had a hand in the music on this game.
for some reason i always thought the sound effects in this game were too loud or something
+psychoticgiraffe Yeah, especially the case when you're trying to listen to that badass soundtrack!

One of my all time favorite games. I have a copy for Turbo Duo. Any way to extract the soundtrack with today's technology!?
Yeah, it's all just regular CD audio. Any ripper should work.
Nice cap. Beautiful.

Living Death this was made by ex-technosoft devs so this basically this IS a thunder force game
