TFIII is one of my favorite games ever. I still have the soundtrack on my phone and listed to it somewhat often. I used to be so good at the game that I could one life it. Later, I rented Thunder Spirits and beat the game with a regular SNES pad with one hand.

I remember EGM used to publish cheats involving pulling a Genesis cart out an then inserting another game to mess with the Genesis memory (NO clue how they figured these ones out. Their ZANAC NES one was unreal), which sometimes enabled cheats like infinite lives. Worked in Thunder Force 2. Anyway, I tried the same in TFII and then the cart died. Brought it back to the game rental store told em I didn't know what happened...the game just died. What a jerk I was.
