1	Near the beginning of Level 9 (shortly after the first power up) a white, blobish enemy will be crawling on the bottom of the screen. It will jump up at you. If it grabs on to your ship it won't kill you, but it will weigh you down for a while and go away and give you about 10,000 points.

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Thunder Force series (3 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Technosoft
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Shooter
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          This this the shooter series for the Genesis that got a
                  a lot of attention when it came out.  It's your basic
                  blast-any-thing-that-moves sci-fi side-scrolling shooter,
                  but with a reputation for gaming excellence.

IMPRESSIONS:      Fairly decent R-Type clones that get better as the series
                  advances.  Decent weapons, impressive graphics, intense
                  gameplay.

VARIATIONS:       The first game in the series, Thunder Force, is not
                  available separately for the Genesis.  There is also a
                  derivant called Thunder Spirits that was made for the
                  SNES, although it is generally acknowledged to be an
                  inferior product.

                  Thunder Force 2 (1989, one of the few sequels that
                    incorporated its ancestor into itself - the top-down
                    down sequences are reminsecent of Bosconian, the side-
                    scroll sequences smack strongly of R-Type)
                  Thunder Force 3 (1990, the top-down view is now gone,
                    leaving only the side-scroll game - better graphics
                    and a slightly enhanced weapons system)
                  Thunder Force 4 (1992, also known as Lightning Force -
                    best of the lot, but still not as good as R-Type)
