The Thunder Force series was a well-known and much loved shooter series, with perhaps the 2nd, 3rd and 4th games on Sega Mega Drive being the most popular and well-known of them all. The series made it's only SNES appearance in this port of Thunder Force AC, which was actually an arcade port of Thunder Force III on Sega Mega Drive.

It's interesting to compare this to the Mega Drive Thunder Force III. The ability to choose your starting stage has been dropped, and the game doesn't seem particularly suited for the SNES, there is a lot of slowdown. Also, the graphics and sound don't seem to be any better here than on Mega Drive.

However, Thunder Force III was one of the best shooters on Mega Drive, and therefore this isn't a bad game as it's still a lot of fun, but I wouldn't say this is the best way to experience that game.
