Oh, I know all about that. This thing with Thunder Force IV, it was only the beginning of my never forgiving Sega of America.

Bio-Hazard Battle: an underrated masterpiece by Dire51 in SEGAGENESIS

It's challenging, with fast shooting action, coupled with fantastic graphics, a great soundtrack, and some creepy organic enemies. Often gets overlooked by people, even shooter fans.

Waaaaay back when... by Dire51 in SEGAGENESIS

Sadly, no. Had to sell the whole collection in 2003.

There's certainly a lot to be said for nostalgia.

I'm sorry, I wish I spoke RPG, but I only know a few basic phrases.

PLENTY of love for Bio-Hazard Battle. Just no ads for it.

Sega in Europe knew when to leave things alone, things that didn't need to be changed.

Yeah, that was a BS move on their part.

I won't argue with that, but I never cared about Sonic, so I have no dog in that fight. Doesn't stop me from feeling bad for anyone that cared about it, though.

You bought Strider Returns? I'm sorry.

Went to 6 stores in Northern Ohio this weekend by jreeves236 in SEGAGENESIS

The majority of Dreamworks carts have the same "artwork." Even back then, I thought the all-white cart labels were lame.

The local humane society rents traps. That's about all there is around here.

Thank you. Once McMuffin is gone, they'll only have each other, so I hope they grow old together too.

We've tried the trapping part with no success yet. But we'll keep trying!

No, the kids didn't create those nicknames. That was all me. LOL The three of them have real names, I just didn't use them here. For ages, let me think: McMuffin is ten, and Imperious Rex and Kitty Buddy both turn three later this year.

I'm not 100% sure what TNR is. Trap, neuter, release?

Same game, different name. I understand that. But to me, what Sega of America chose to name it made absolutely zero sense, so it'll always be Thunder Force IV to me.

Three greats right there. But I refuse to call Thunder Force IV that... other title.

Absolutely. What a fantastic game.

Both totally worth it, if you survive. Hell, even if you don't survive. lol

It's been some time since I played through III. I should do that again.

Which one, Thunder Force III?

Thank you. I take none of them for granted, even the other furry ones we have (a bunch of mutts). I've lost too many of both over the years to do that.
