View source for Thunder Force III

Please notice that the Genesis version of Thunder Force III was officially (and largely) distributed in France by Sega in 1991 (with US package and no modification). It was published at the same time that the PAL version of Hellfire. This "European" version was reviewed by french magazines like Player One, Console+ and Joypad.

The game was reviewed in Player One (1991 october) but it was delayed. Finally, it arrived around march or april 1992. It is reviewed in Console+ (april issue) and Joypad (march issue). I found this page:

:Thanks a lot for this info! Good to know! (Seriously, Germany is really lucky for this.) - [[User:Andlabs|Andlabs]] ([[User talk:Andlabs|talk]]) 15:29, 4 August 2013 (CDT)

Sorry, it's not only Germany. The version reviewed by the magazines was the French one (i got one), distributed by Virgin or Sega France, i don't remember exactly. I suppose the game was sold also in Belgium, Luxemburg and Swiss. Raiden Trad, Vapor Trail and Gaiares are supposed to be distributed by Renovation in 1992 in Europe (source: Player One) but no proof about it.
