Thunder Force III

[+Yurkie]

What do you guys think of Thunder Force III. It seems like a solid space shooter to me. Pretty difficult but after only a couple tries I have made it to the first Boss.

 

How many levels are there? Do you repeat the stages over again or is there an ending?

I have played TF3 many many times and still do on occassion...there is an ending. There are 5 worlds that surround a sun type planet and you can pick a starting world and then the game progresses around the worlds until they are all completed and then you get to go into the sun planet and it gets difficult. There is a code that will give you all weapons powered up and the "craw" which is the option that orbits your ship.

 

In my opinion it is a solid shooter for the Genesis/Megadrive TF4, Known as Litening Force(spelling is correct) is much harder but it only has four starting worlds that you can pick the order in which you go through them...after completing the priliminary 4 worlds Phase 2 starts and it get really hard and is long.. there is a code for starting with 99 lives...and you will need everyone of them to get through the game.

 

I have just recently acquired TF5 for the Playstation1 and I will have to get back to you on that...but so far harder than TF4

 

And no I will not supply the codes for the games here...I will leave that to you to search for.

 

Hope this answers your question

Yeah, TF3 is one of those games that makes me rage-quit frequently from the difficulty. You do have to use your weapons strategically. It's not like where I could just use the "Hunter" (homing ion bullets) and forget about it. Some sections require different weapons to fight one's way through.

I have always found TF3 a bit easier than Lightening Force (TF4). Once you learn the levels , you'll see that TF3 is not impossible (at first!). Great series of games!

I like it, it's good. I do prefer Part IV much more though.

TF3 is a classic. It's a very well done shooter. Gaiares drew me in quite a bit more, though. I guess I need some gimmick to get me into a shooter.
