Thunder Force VI closes the legendary Technosoft horizontal shooter saga. Beefy ship, varied level design and rousing soundtrack. Not the peak, but a worthy farewell.

The final entry in a renowned horizontal saga, it throws crowded stages, massive bosses and a deluge of enemies that won't forgive sloppiness at the player. Switching weapons to suit the situation, gauging your speed and anticipating attacks across several planes make the difference. Tough but coherent, it carries on a demanding tradition dear to fans of high-strung shoot-'em-ups.
