I'm currently looking into the status of Tecnosoft... their website is down, and I have no idea what's happening to them at the moment. Anyone want to clarify?
- Currently, Sting's company links website says there will be new information on Tecnosoft in the fiscal year of 2006 (new members?)
- TSUKOMOHYAKUTARO, a sound/music composer for Thunder Force 5, has been noted to be in an arrangement with the Thunder Future project, noted here in German. In particular,
Die Entwickler ('Garow' plus 10 weitere Entwickler) des japanischen Fan Projekt 'Thunder
Future' (PC) verhandeln mit dem Musik-Komponisten 'Tsukumohyakutaro' (ehemaliger Sound-
entwickler bei 'Tecnosoft'), der den Sound für Ihr Projekt komponieren soll.
- The rest of the NOISE group that did the music for Thunder Force 5 has been noted to be in line with companies such as:
- LiarSoft ~ makes H games apparently >_>
- WoodSoft ~ apparently puts out some music CDs of sorts... latest one ("99,100") from NOISE involves Broken Thunder and TF5 tracks
- Sega ~ did music for this ADV game by Hitmaker (yes, the Virtual-ON guys), and that company merged back to SEGA most recently
- SSH ~ dunno here, is this NOISE's new lurking place?

I've never played them, but yes, there were three Neorude games. I actually have the soundtrack to the second one, and it has some good tracks, including one of the best final boss themes I've ever heard. I've heard the actual games were nothing special...
They just faded away. Yeah, it's too bad, but I think TF V was their last shmup anyway. Most of their non-shmup stuff was pretty poor (I played some Saturn Virutal-On wannabe that was HORRIBLE), minus some gems back in the 16 bit days.

Two of the things that make me very happy indeed!
Do you know if Technosoft released any soundtracks for their shmups? I know they did an Elemental Master CD but its proving rather elusive/expensive to get hold of. I'm rather optimistically hoping that the Thunder Force music made it to CD-does anyone know?
"What the hell kind of a two-bit operation are they running out of this treehouse, Cooper? I have seen some slip-shod, backwater burgs, but this place takes the cake."

Yes, they did release a whole series of soundtracks
(which also contain Hyper Duel & Blast Wind).

This makes me feel excited...
Thunder Force II up to V soundtracks are on CD,
and there was also a "Best of Thunder Force".
excitement levels rising to fever pitch now...
PS- the TF5 OST goes for very high prices nowadays
yet this has left me feeling somewhat deflated.
I can't believe that the soundtracks cost more than the games. I mean, you can pick up Thunder Force 3 for about $10 but if what you say is true, then i'm guessing that the soundtrack is gonna cost a damn sight more.
Its no wonder so many people buy chart rubbish!

Just buy the Saturn ports, Saturn games you can usually play the music in a CD player. I haven't tried with gold pack 2 yet, but I'm pretty sure TF5 and Blast Wind worked.
