Title: A-Rank Thunder
Post by: exodus on November 07, 2017, 04:59:41 AM

According to the creator of A-Rank Thunder for Mega CD, developed by Riot, the game was originally planned as a free-scrolling action RPG for hucards!

I asked him if there was a prototype - will let everyone know if he gets back.

So what about that actual game that came out, is it any good?

As far as I remember this MEGA CD version was an adventure game using the same engine as Silky Lip.
Too bad the PCE Silky Lip sequel ended up canceled. At least there are some prototypes floating around.

Telenet Japan was in very bad shape at that time I think.

And after Telenet's demise, the script of the PCE Silky Lip was remade as a new game and bundled with an adult Silky Lip sequel.

The subtitle of A Rank Thunder also hinted that it COULD have sequel, so it's even possible to have a sequel on the PCE, but I think this game flopped and was forgotten immediately so no one cared.

yeah, the final A-Rank Thunder is an adventure game with... not much interaction. it's not of much interest to me unfortunately!
