Our second Console-Cade release is the one and only, Thunder Force IV. Considered by many to be one of the greatest shooters of all time, Thunder Force IV is a high energy, roller-coaster ride from start to finish with incredible graphics, varied and fever-pitch gameplay, and quite simply the best soundtrack of any SHMUP!
Released only on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Thunder Force IV was potentially a perfect arcade game, however an arcade release would never happen. We are proud to bring the game to 1UP running on original Mega Drive hardware, customised to run in a standard JAMMA arcade cabinet. Even after all these years, Thunder Force IV is a real experience to play and a must-play for those who have never before played the game!

Game Facts & Trivia
Although never actually released in the arcades (it's prequel was however, as Thunder Force AC), we felt a game of this quality simply needed to be represented in an arcade setting!
