Episode Notes:
1. Captured on the Mega SG.
2. The spelling of the company was seen 2 different ways. In Japan it was Tecno Soft, while it was seen in the west sometimes as Technosoft.
3. The Switch Sega Ages series saw a few of Tecno Soft's games.
4. Thunder Force VI was not done by Tecno Soft, but instead licensed out to Sega who handled everything.
5. Not a single Sega Saturn game from Tecno Soft was released outside of Japan. Even Thunder Force V remained in Japan for the platform.
6. Despite being expensive today, most of Tecno Soft's Saturn releases were not well received at the time. Hyper Duel was crushed by popular magazine Famitsu, the Official Japanese Sega Saturn Magazine hated Nekketsu Oyako, and even Thunder Force V got heavily criticized in western import reviews from magazines such as Edge and Computer & Video Games.
7. While the Super Nintendo game Thunder Spirits was based on Thunder Force AC, it couldn't use the name because Sega partially owned the license.
8. Dragon's Fury wasn't Tecno Soft's only pinball game. They also did the Saturn Japanese exclusive Kyuutenkai Fantastic Pinball.
