Wanna hear a joke? Super Thunder Blade.

entire audience dies of laughter

Back in 2006 I got a hold of the Sega Genesis Collection for my PSP, what was the first game I decided to boot up you ask? Why of course the one with the cool helicopter. Needless to say, even back when I was younger and less cynical about the quality of games I basically went "lmao wow this thing is trash", and then proceeded to play Shinobi III to wash away the stank.

Make no mistake, Super Thunder Blade is less "super" and more "stupid", because I dunno what was going through Sega's mind in thinking the choppiness of this game was somehow acceptable even for back in 1988. Like yeah sure, maybe the first time you go through the city stages it might've looked neat back then, but then you get to the "cave" sections of stage 2 and you're suddenly asking yourself if you somehow went up a brontosaurus's ass. I seriously can't comprehend just how dreadful the game looks during these parts. It's seriously not a good look, especially when the helicopter controls like shit.

By far the worst of the common sights for the Genesis collections, even the stupid port of Virtua Fighter 2 is better than this thing at least as an oddity.

Dumb game, utterly dickbrained and blockheaded game.
