Thunder Force II Hi Scores

[The Coop]

Well, after browsing this forum and finding most of the other entries, I figured I'd pop my thread cherry with the remaining entry that can still be readily played by everyone... the Genesis version of Thunder Force II. I'll also include the X68000 and the Gold Pack versions for those who don't own the Genesis version. Also, no continuing allowed, and you have to leave the number of lives at it's default setting of 4, and leave the rapid fire option on.

The set up is pretty much like a lot of the other threads in terms of what info is needed. So, without anymore rambling from me...

Edit: Having read through a number of other threads here, I noticed that my instructions weren't as specific as they needed to be. So, I made sure to write up the settings with more clarity, in case that was what was keeping people from participating.

Dunno how you can score more than 2.04m in this game?

Played the Genesis version on a full Genesis set.

And how do you get that crazy score on Hard?
I beat the game on Hard and noticed to changes whatsoever....

Here's a personal confession: I absolutely abhor this game. If I were to pick the prime example of insufferable, cheap design in a shooter, it'd be this one. Missile salvos, laser beams, closing doors, dead ends during high-speed sections, materialising enemies, enemies that fire from off-screen, invincible metal orbs that absorb your fire, Thunder Force II has it all just to make sure you don't enjoy a single second of it. I cannot believe they would later go on to create the magnificent Thunder Force IV (which I'll be playing again to cleanse my poor soul), talk about an increase in quality!
