The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
The subject of perhaps the most controversial review on Sega-16, Super Thunder Blade is a game that people tend to hate. But is it really as bad as many believe? Staff writer Sebastian Sponsel takes another look at the much-maligned port and sees if there’s any truth to the controversy.
Genesis owners with a Power Base Converter have the ability to play classic Master System titles on their console, but some are just little more than proof of how far hardware has come. Thunder Blade is an example of a game that couldn’t emulate the arcade well and made no effort to compensate.
An arcade smash and Genesis original, Super Thunder Blade defied the system’s lack of hardware scaling and showed what some good programming could accomplish. We here at Sega-16 are big fans, and have a full review for your perusal. Come on in and share the love.
