Here is the OST of Thunder Force IV (a.k.a. "Lightening Force"), recorded from the headphone jack of a Model 1 Genesis with a VA3 revision motherboard. Audio was captured from the game's sound test mode at 24-bit/96kHz with a Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro and Audacity 2.0.3. This is raw audio straight from an actual console, no emulation. Each looping track was allowed to play twice, then given a 10-second fade-out. Tracks are named and ordered according to the VGM files.

Composers: Toshiharu Yamanishi, Takeshi Yoshida
