Airgrave PSX: Anyone notice Thunderforce formula?

Post by postman »

I just played through Airgrave (Japan PS1), and once I contacted the first boss, noticed some similarities with Thunderforce 5. The bosses have a small intro animation, and it lists the weapons of each boss in a list format (just like TF5). Bosses also have names, and one of them looks a lot like Armamant Armed Arm.

Does anyone know if Technosoft and Santos had employees jump back and forth (like Taito and GRev?)

Also, for anyone who played this with the PSX-Changer, did your graphics mess up on level 5? The display gets crazy for a bit, then next level reverts back to normal.........
Don't just dodge bullets, dance around them.

I got Airgrave on back-up for my PS1. :P Works fine on my US console using my gameshark chip thingy, but no BGM during gameplay.
