Thexder also bears the distinction of being the first title published for the [[NES|Famicom]] by [[Squaresoft]], the company who would be better known for its [[Final Fantasy]] series. But Thexder was not developed by Squaresoft. Rather, it was developed in a talented Japanese studio known as [[Game Arts]]. The designers have sited [[Atari]] arcade game [[Major Havok]] as one of their inspirtations. Game Arts released the game on several popular Japanese home computers, including the [[MSX]], where it sold tremendously well. [[Sierra Entertainment]] bought the rights to release this successful game outside of Japan, and it was just as successful, becoming a best-seller for Sierra. The Famicom conversion was never converted for play on the NES. | Thexder also bears the distinction of being the first title published for the [[NES|Famicom]] by [[Squaresoft]], the company who would be better known for its [[Final Fantasy]] series.
