A side-by-side longplay video featuring the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation versions of Thunder Force V. These were both played and recorded from original hardware going into a XRGB-2+, then run into a Datapath E1S capture card. Audio was captured directly. Both are the Japanese versions of the games. PS1 version was played on a Japanese PS2 Slim with component cables, while the Saturn version was played with RGB (Euro SCART) cables. The video begins with Stage 1 on both versions. To see the introduction videos, skip to the end of the video.

Time Codes:
00:00 - Stage 1
02:26 - Stage 2
06:03 - Stage 3
10:14 - Stage 4
15:03 - Stage 5
19:28 - Stage 6
23:18 - Final Bosses + Ending
33:11 - Introductions

For anyone new here, I've actually done several of these types of videos in the past. Battletoads (NES/Genesis), Castlevania III (NES/Famicom), Splatterhouse (FM Towns Marty/Turbo Grafx), etc. Check those out here: DUAL PLAYS (Side by Side Longplay Vid...

There are a lot of differences to touch on, some not featured in the video itself:

- PS1 image looks softer overall. It may run at a slightly lower resolution, but I'm not 100% sure.
- Due to the hardware differences between the two platforms, you will find many visual effects being handled differently, such as the "infinite floor" effect often seen in the Saturn version.
- Colors seem to be handled differently as well. While some sections of the game will look very similar, the colors used are different between the versions.
- Option menu screen is laid out slightly differently between the two versions.
- PS1 game has more modes and unlockable ships with codes that alter the gameplay slightly.
- Load times are slightly snappier in the PS1 version.
- Audio is brighter in the PS1 game, while the Saturn one seems to have more bass and is slightly more muffled.
- Post-final boss escape sequences are different: PS1 version is FMV (and honestly a little more exciting with the sound effects used). Saturn version's is in-engine and the credits roll up during the sequence.
- PS1 version has a new introduction and a new FMV that plays before entering the final level.
- Saturn final boss's weak point is its main body, while in the PS1 version it's the boss's head. This is the only gameplay difference I could find.
- Saturn version does get choppy at points (primarily boss fights), while the PS1 version maintains its 60fps at pretty much all times.
- In the rare moment the PS1 version does suffer performance issues, it implements slowdown instead of skipping frames like the Saturn version does.
- Many full screen transparent effects on the Saturn version, while many are missing in the PS1 version.
- Some transparent effects are nicer in the PS1 version, while the Saturn one will use dithering for them.
- The rocking intro sequence was redone for the PS1 version. Same backing tune, but a different sequence plays out.
- Ending "Guardian" sequence sounds far more cleaner on the Saturn version, not to mention the video looks sharper as well. There's a sort of reverb or echo effect on the PS1 version's sequence.

There are more subtle differences, but I'll let you look for them.
