3-D Thunder Ceptor II/Command 6

Once the text "BELIEVE YOUR FORCE. GOD BLESS YOU, MARSHAL." has appeared on screen, step on the pedal to accelerate the Thunder Ceptor as you come to two Fires that are emerging from holes in the ground, in the centre of the screen; once you have agone around them, eight Meteors will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen. Once you have gone between them, three Chasers (all of which are glowing green) will come flying towards you from behind while firing green projectiles at you - and once you have fired three shots at each of them to kill them twelve more Meteors will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen. Once you have gone between them, you'll come up to two more Fires that are emerging from holes in the ground in the centre of the screen; once you have gone around them two Fakes (one of which is glowing green) will come flying up towards you in the centre of the screen, while firing green projectiles at you. Once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them (the glowing green one takes three), two more Chasers (which are again glowing green) will come flying up towards you from behind while firing green projectiles at you - and once you have fired three shots at both of them to kill them, six more Meteors will come flying up towards you in the centre of the screen. Once you have gone between them, you will come to two more Fires that are emerging from holes in the ground in the centre of the screen; once you have gone around them both, ten Monoliths will come tumbling towards you, in the centre of the screen. Once you have gone between them, two mobile Scabs (which are glowing purple) will come hovering towards you from behind upon the right side of the screen, while firing green projectiles at you - and once you have fired two shots at both of them to kill them, four more mobile Scabs (which are glowing green) will come hovering towards you upon the right side of the screen while firing green projectiles at you. Once you have fired three shots at each of them to kill them, seven Floaters (which are glowing green), will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen while afiring green projectiles at you; once you have fired off three shots at each of them to kill them, you will come to ten more Fires, that are emerging from holes in the ground, in the centre of the screen. Once you have gone around these ten, four Broadcasters (which are glowing purple) will come aflying towards you from behind, while firing green projectiles at you - and once you have fired two shots at each of them to kill them, two Pillars will emerge from the ground on the left side of the screen. Once you have gone around them, two Pillars will emerge from the ceiling on the right side of the screen; once you have gone around these, two more Pillars will emerge from the ceiling and ground, upon the left side of the screen. Once you have gone around these, two more Pillars will emerge from the ceiling and ground, upon the right side of the screen - and once you have gone around them, two more Pillars will emerge from the ceiling on the left side of the screen. Once you have gone around them, four more Pillars will emerge from the ceiling and ground on the right side of the screen; once you have gone between them, four more Pillars will emerge from the ceiling and ground on the left side of the screen. Once you have gone around them all, three Parabolas (which are glowing purple) will come flying towards you, while firing green projectiles at you - and once you've fired two shots at each of them to kill them, ten Rods will come aflying towards you in the centre of the screen. Once you have gone between them, two more Floaters (which are, again, glowing green) will come aflying towards you in the centre of the screen; once you have fired off three shots at both of them to kill them, eight more Rods will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen. Once you have gone between them, two more Floaters (which are once again glowing green) will come flying up towards you in the centre of the screen while firing off green projectiles at you - and once you have fired three shots at both of them to kill them, two Saucers (which are glowing green), will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen, while firing green projectiles at you. Once you have fired three shots at both of them to kill them, a fifth Broadcaster (which is glowing green) will come flying towards you from behind, while firing green projectiles at you - and once you have fired three shots at it, to kill it, that text of "CAUTION" will appear in the top-left of the screen as a green version of the Sodoms from the original Thunder Ceptor (surrounded by six Premiums) comes aflying towards you in the centre of the screen while firing green projectiles at you. Once you have fired a single shot at each of the Premiums to kill them and enough shots at the green Sodom itself to kill it, two more Meteors will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen with two Sparks that are flying from one side of the screen to the other between them; once you've gone between them, two more Floaters, (which are yet again glowing green) will come aflying towards you in the centre of the screen, while firing off green projectiles at you. Once you have fired three shots at both of them to kill them, you will come up to two more Fires that are emerging from holes in the ground in the centre of the screen - and once you have gone around them, two more Meteors will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen, with two more Sparks that are flying from one side of the screen to the other between them. Once you have agone between them, you'll come up to two more Fires that are emerging from holes in the ground in the centre of the screen; once you have gone around them, two more Meteors will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen, with two more Sparks that are flying from one side of the screen to the other between them. Once you have gone between them, a fourteenth Floater (which is, for a fifth time, glowing green) will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen while firing green projectiles at you - and once you have fired three shots at it to kill it, you will come to two more Fires that are emerging from holes in the ground in the centre of the screen. Once you have gone around them, two more Meteors will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen with two more Sparks that are flying from one side of the screen to the other between them; once you have gone between them, you will pass over a enormous red "9" on the ground (which is also reflected upon the ceiling), before coming to two more Fires that are emerging from holes in the ground in the centre of the screen. Once you have agone around these two, two more Meteors will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen, with two more Sparks that are flying from one side of the screen to the other between them - and once you have gone between them, a fifteenth Floater (which is for a sixth time glowing green) will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen while firing green projectiles at you. Once you have fired three shots at it to kill it, you will pass over a enormous red "8" on the ground (which, like the "9", is also reflected on the ceiling) before coming to two more Fires that are emerging from holes in the ground, in the centre of the screen; once you have gone round them, two more Meteors will come aflying towards you in the centre of the screen, with two more Sparks that are flying from one side of the screen to the other between them. Once you have gone between them, a sixteenth Floater (which is, for a seventh time, glowing green) will come aflying towards you in the centre of the screen, while firing green projectiles at you - and once you have fired three shots at it to kill it, you will pass over a enormous red "7" on the ground (which, like the "9", and "8", is also reflected upon the ceiling). A Gale and a sixth Chaser (both of which are glowing green), will now come flying towards you from behind while firing green projectiles at you; once you have fired three shots at both of them to kill them, you will pass over a enormous red "6" on the ground (which, like the "9", "8", and "7", is also reflected on the ceiling). Four more Pillars will now emerge from the ground and ceiling, on the left and right sides of the screen - and once you have gone between them, you will pass over an enormous red "5" on the ground (which, like the "9", "8", "7" and "6", is also reflected on the ceiling). Five more Pillars will now emerge from the ground and ceiling in the centre of the screen; once you have gone between them, you will pass over an enormous red "4" on the grounds (which, like the "9", "8", "7", "6" and "5", is also reflected on the ceiling). The text of "CAUTION!" will then appear up in the top-left corner of the screen for second time, as five more Pillars emerge from the ground and ceiling in the centre of the screen; once you have agone between them, a Defender (which is surrounded by eight more Premiums) will come flying towards you in the centre of the screen while firing green projectiles at you. Once you have fired a single shot at each of the Premiums to kill them, and enough shots at the Defender itself to kill it, you will pass over an enormous red "3" on the ground (which, like the "9", "8", "7", "6", "5" and "4", is also reflected on the ceiling) before passing over an enormous red "2", on the ground (which, like that aforementioned "3", is also reflected on the ceiling) - you will then pass over an enormous red "1" on the ground (which, like that aforementioned "3" and "2", is also reflected on the ceiling). The Thunder Ceptor will then fly off into the distance as the text "CONGRATULATIONS! ONCE AGAIN PEACE HAS BEEN OBTAINED IN THE UNIVERSE. YOUR GLORIOUS COMBAT CAREER WILL BE TRANSMITTED FROM GENARATION TO GENARATION (sic). NOW WE WILL NAME YOU MASTER, AND PRAISE YOUR HONOR. E N D." appears on the screen; the game will then go into high-score mode. Your score will most likely be the highest on the cabinet to date, so you should enter your name at the top of the table with pride (however, as with the original, the sensitivity of that analogue joystick may again make it rather difficult to do) - but once you've entered 3 correct initials, the game will go back into attract mode, and replay your performance from the first half of that first command. For "masters" of the original game, you may wish to watch this to see how well you were doing at the start of the game before you get out of the cabinet.
