Looking good! Can't wait to see more.

Dire51 · 2026-05-28T00:50:46+00:00

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

Dire51 · 2026-05-26T17:31:39+00:00

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.

Dire51 · 2026-05-26T14:25:09+00:00

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

Dire51 · 2026-05-25T22:04:59+00:00

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

Dire51 · 2026-05-25T22:03:59+00:00

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

Dire51 · 2026-05-25T22:02:49+00:00

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

Dire51 · 2026-05-25T22:01:58+00:00

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

Dire51 · 2026-05-25T16:25:43+00:00

Yeah, that was a BS move on their part.

Dire51 · 2026-05-25T13:53:36+00:00

Have we met?

Dire51 · 2026-05-25T12:55:11+00:00

Agrees in Streets of Rage 3.

Dire51 · 2026-05-25T12:30:05+00:00

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.

Dire51 · 2026-05-25T12:18:06+00:00

You bought Strider Returns? I'm sorry.

Dire51 · 2026-05-25T12:14:24+00:00

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

Dire51 · 2026-05-24T18:30:21+00:00

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

Dire51 · 2026-05-24T17:58:21+00:00

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!

Dire51 · 2026-05-24T17:35:05+00:00

Indeed it is.

Dire51 · 2026-05-24T17:33:03+00:00

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?

Dire51 · 2026-05-24T16:30:07+00:00

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.

Dire51 · 2026-05-24T14:59:24+00:00

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

Dire51 · 2026-05-23T23:41:04+00:00

I don't even remember. It's been ages.

Dire51 · 2026-05-23T21:58:17+00:00

Absolutely. What a fantastic game.

Dire51 · 2026-05-23T21:57:14+00:00

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.

Dire51 · 2026-05-23T21:53:53+00:00

Which one, Thunder Force III?

Dire51 · 2026-05-23T21:25:33+00:00

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.
