Lords of Thunder TurboDuo Complete Playthrough - NintendoComplete
19A beginning to end playthrough of Hudson's 1993 TurboGrafx16 CD/TurboDuo game, Lords of Thunder.
Lords of Thunder is one of the incredible gaming feats of its time, and goes woefully unrecognized by most of today's gamers. Easy on par (and in my opinion, surpassing) the seminal Gradius and Darius games, Lords of Thunder cuts the mustard its own way with a kickass soundtrack featuring wailing 80s style guitar solos with heavy synth backup tracks, an incredible number of colors and sprites on the screen given the modest specs of the host machine, and the sheer playability. R-Type never felt this smooth!
And for those who haven't played and finished the game: at the end of the credits in this video, the "Game Over" screens cut in. The game returns you to the title screen at the end of the credits, but I love the Game Over "countdown" theme way too much to exclude it. That's why I edited the video.... do yourself a favor, if you've heard it before or not, and watch the final 30 seconds or so. Aural bliss a la big hair.
No cheats were used during the recording of this video.
