  1. Thexder is a 1985 run-and-gun shooter from Game Arts where you pilot a transforming robot, switching between a fighter robot and a jet to battle enemies. The game was a huge international hit, selling over one million copies worldwide, and its influential gameplay helped define the genre. The music was composed by Hibiki Godai, providing an intense and futuristic soundtrack to the action.

    Glorious 16 colors!

    Thexder2 should also run iirc but I haven't installed it yet.

  3. Thexder was such a cool game. I wanted it to be a little deeper than it was, but the awesome concept and cool animation carried it.

    It's a shame the sequel (Firehawk, not the Windows 95 game) gets even less attention.

    oof... that's indeed rather unfortunate... Makes me seriously wonder which game that actually is... I'm trying to remember which cart game I'm mentally missing from my #MSX collection... The description definitely doesn't ring any bells...

    "Dexder" and the "transformations robot" description indeed confirms my suspicion that this is #GameArts's #Thexder, in which you play a #mech that can transform into a fighter jet. :)

    Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate it! :D
