I thought I was the only one who flew in circles. LMAO. The flying in circles technique is what I use. Granted, I sometimes have to brake in some of the later levels (like those stupid caves during the second level) but I continue to fly in circles.

@johnpenguinthe3rd13 7 жыл бұрын

Very true. When I first played Super Thunder Blade (I was 6 years old) I got destroyed during the 1st level. After SEVERAL more deaths, I caught on to "flying in circles". Using the brake for level 2 (STUPID CAVES) took MUCH longer due to my stubbornness against it.

This game has the worst ending ever! To this day I remember the feeling I had when I finally beat it and all I basically got was a screen that said "Game Over". So much work for nothing.

I'm surprised no mention that the helicopter is basically inspired by Blue Thunder, even the title screen shows what looks to be a pixelated version of a scene from Blue Thunder.

He's mentioned it before in another review of Thunder Blade on the Master System I believe. And yeah, Sega literally ripped a screenshot from the movie and digitized it for the title screen. ^.=.^

Bit of a possible trivia; the helicopter visuals that they used in the game is based on a TV helicopter from a show called "Blue Thunder". The helicopter in the show was okay, but in my opinion on 80's airborne star vehicles, Airwolf still wins when it comes to badassery.

@fahadmirza3355 2 ай бұрын

it's a very nice game with good graphics and music ; even though in easy mode it's hard to beat ; the first and third level are like jackpot where you can attain more lives with no loss and easy maneuvour of the helicopter which will pay you off in second and fourth level which are toughest with expert maneuvering along with airbrakes but overall it's a very good challenging game.

+Mr. Peter Stevens At least in those cases the borrowed element is a part of larger design. In case of Super Thunder Blade they looked at original poster and said "Just add some tanks and fire".

@Michirin9801 7 жыл бұрын

Even if you love shooters the Genesis won't be your favourite, that would be the PC engine... Although the Genesis has some pretty damn good shooters, I think its strength is in action platformers, and it also has a couple good beat'em ups... (Note: A certain blue ball is not included when I say "Good Platformers")

PC versions of thunder blade and afterburner WRECK their genesis counterparts....while no version of thunder blade is that good it is rather impressive for the pc engine. a few things other things: 1.) saw ur comment on the genesis vs pc engine shooter argument...on base consoles...its ALOT closer than what people give it credit for. i borderline want to say its a tie. its not till u add in the SuperCd games where the turbo takes the genny behind the shed and beats it with a shovel. 2.) blue ball diss? yeah...seems like becoming a big youtube star has made you drunk with power! ;-)

Because everyone reviews Snes games, everyone worships that ugly slow game box and ignores the Genesis. I'm grateful for Mark because he's brought alot of Gen classics to my attention that I've never heard of previously, especially shooters like Thunder Force IV, Musha, Fire shark etc. Disclaimer: I love both consoles and they're both great but yeah, the Snes gets wayy too much attention, it's really frustrating actually.

@larkhainan 7 жыл бұрын

I have no problem with people loving on the SNES if they grew up with it, the SNES is awesome, but the amount of press it gets comes off as serving to the fact nintendo is still around as a console maker. If you ask someone what their favorite titles from the console were and they answer a mario, a zelda and a final fantasy it strikes me as a little false. Just a coincidence those are titles that happen to still be around, right? Heh.
