How to play Thunder Force II online

Start by pressing Enter to begin the game. You pilot a starfighter through a mix of top-down overhead stages and traditional side-scrolling levels. Your goal is to destroy enemy waves, dodge projectiles, and eventually take on the ORN forces. Collect power-ups dropped by certain enemies to upgrade your weapons and shields. Watch your energy bar - taking hits depletes it, and losing all energy means game over. The game gives you a set number of lives, so play carefully through each stage.
