Thunder Force II - Sega Genesis

[Adrian M]

This has probably been answered in before, but I recently thought of something.

 

With Thunder Force II turning out as well as it did for the Sega Genesis back in 1989, I would like to know what Thunder Force 1 looked like and what platforms it was released for.

 

Does anyone know the answer to this? Was it an arcade-only title or did it come out for one of the earlier Japanese Sega systems?

Also, a game by Tec(h)noSoft that has a similar look, but different play style to TF2 is Herzog Zwei

Interesting.

 

By the way, I own Herzog Zwei and I also noticed the similarties to the overhead sequences in TF2. It appears that Technosoft used the same engine for both games.
