Game Overview

Thunder Force III came out for the Sega Genesis in 1990, developed by Technosoft. It was part of that wave of shooters that really pushed the hardware, with fast action and detailed backgrounds that felt like a step up from what you saw on the NES at the time.

You pilot a ship called the Fire Leo, moving through horizontally and vertically scrolling stages to destroy the ORN Empire. The key mechanic is choosing your primary weapon before each stage, like the free-range Hunter or the wide-spread Rail Gun, and then managing a separate, always-active secondary weapon called the CRAW. The levels are packed with enemy patterns and environmental hazards, demanding quick reflexes and smart weapon choices. It feels sharp and responsive, a game where every narrow dodge and well-placed shot brings a real sense of accomplishment.
