Thunder Force 3 & Thunder Force AC

[Angry Hina]

Is there a reason why TF AC got only the score list for the normal difficulty? At least in the switch version there is a hard and a hardest difficulty as well. If this will get implemented, here is my score:

Thunder Force AC (hard)
Angry Hina - 2,169,540 - ALL / 1LC - Switch (japan)

(thanks for putting my last score in the list but it belongs to the list of the japanese version, not the world version. Thanks )
(this applies for the score of DMC as well)

Thunder Force III
JP Mega Drive (physical JP cart, generation 1 hardware)
Starting stage: Seiren
Difficulty: Normal

1061000

Not a spectacular score, I started to space out a bit midway through on Gorgon and took some needless deaths even though I know that particular stage backwards & forwards. Still, looking at the hi score list there are a lot of people no-missing this game or close to it, I'm not there yet (and don't know if I will get there, so many shooters still to go).

But for now this'll do to commemorate my first 1CC on the MD version.

My scores are all from no missing runs. One death can cause more afterwards if you loose an important weapon and your shield in some situations. Especially in the higher difficulties so it feels sometimes as a bit of no miss game (not in the darius way of course ^^ )

Thunder Force III
PAL UK model 1 Mega Drive (physical USA cart - TFIII is not region-locked)
Starting stage: Hydra
Difficulty: HARD

2387020

Ended the game with 17 lives left (the game is very generous with extends and 1up pickups I think). Died once on Hydra boss and twice on final boss.

This was just a casual play on PAL hardware tonight so doesn't really count of course and I'm just putting this here for fun, I will try again on my NTSC Genesis model 1 and capture it for youtube some time. On hard and mania.

Misc: I have huge nostalgia for this game as it was one of the first games I got with my childhood Mega Drive (Japanese import in 1990) when I was 13. It's a pretty simple game but it's just fun from start to end. And it has one of the best MD OSTs of all-time. FM perfection, all bangers, not a bad tune in it.
