Thunder Cross 2 (Arcade/Konami/1991) [720p]

Thunder Cross II is a sequel to Thunder Cross released three years earlier in 1988. It has got much better graphics but still it looks quite mediocre compared to the other games released these times AND it looks like a predecessor to the another Konami's successful title called Axelay and released in 1992 for the Super NES. Like in Thunder Cross, there is a very bad idea which Konami implemented - you can't continue a game anymore once you die in the final stage, so I had to cheat a little and grant myself immortality. While played with infinite lives, game has a higher difficulty imho.
