Back again with some RETRO energy:

Stand Up 2 Myself (R.I.P. Prince 1958-2016)

This time I took on Thunder Force IV or as US gamers got to know it 'Lightening Force' for the Sega Mega Drive/ Genesis.
TF 4 is a hard but enjoyable shooter which i didn't get to play until late 2014. So no real nostalgia for me unfortunately.
The soundtrack however is so awesome that it launched me back to my 90's video game mood.
By far the best track 'Stand up to myself - Staff roll' is the exclamation mark after finishing this awesome game.
I probably took too much time on this one as it is relatively unknown compared to Megaman and other brands, but nevertheless I enjoyed doing it!

Warning: The game is hard as F@KC
