Thunder Force Octology for the PCE-SCD

[esteban]

? Necro'ed from 2009 ? And when did ER ever get into PCE programming ? I don't think he ever developed anything. I also doubt the seriousness of his intentions at the time by the looks of this old thread.

Emerald Rocker couldn't program a graphing calculator.

He was, quite simply, taunting and mocking the entire team behind TG-CD Mysterious Song (MSR). He thought they would never actually produce a playable demo, let alone a completed game.

...so ER started this thread, about his "grandiose, pie-in-the-sky" Thunderforce Octology...since he thought his concept had as much chance of being created (0%) as MSR.

I still love him, but I also love that he was dead wrong.

I think part of this was prompted too by Aetherbyte's Retrocade project announcement which ended up not turning out as originally planned, since the first two games (Pyramid Plunder and Atlantean) turned out to be much bigger than we thought. 

They stood on their own.

We released the Protocade also.

and did HuCards.

So, f*ck the original plan.  Right in the butt.

Ah OK, yeah, the other thing I thought was some kind of playful trolling going on (not unusual for ER), but weird cjames remembered the thread. Heh.

Well, it's more like i was walking around in the dark and stumbled over it while looking for homebrew to play on my everdrive yesterday.

I had actually started working on this, but then I made the mistake of playing J Thunder (blame Necromancer) and switched plans in light of that game's magnificence.   Now I'm working on a compilation disc called "J Thunder Books I & II & III & IV & V".  It'll be released on or around Christmas 2024.
