Rolling thunder arcade game free download

Since most of the enemy characters appear in the same location, it's essentially a pattern game, but the super graphics and strong game play make this one of my favorites in the genre. Very addicting side-scrolling shoot-em-up that is also a very difficult game. Normally, difficult games mean frustration, but Rolling Thunder doesn't give that impression.

A limited number of continues requires a lot of practice, but a passcode feature helps. Limited graphics and good game play. This is an O. Not a lot of depth either, but you don't have to be a fan of the arcade version to appreciate this translation.

This is a cool action game that some may find to be way too hard for their liking. The upper levels are very intense, but the action is coupled with some great graphics and play techniques. The passcode is a must for this cart, which should entertain gamers who blast through similar games in a day.

You're the slickest secret agent since James Bond himself! Now you must infiltrate a terrorist organization and rescue your partner - alone! Great arcade action brings you all the looks and feel of the coin-op classic.

You will hear music and you will then fade into the next level. You can keep doing this in every level until you get to the end of the game! Here's a new three dimensional role playing game from Kemco Seika. Based on the popular computer title, this translation has great first person scrolling and better graphics.

Hours of involving game play. You can tell how good a fast-action Nintendo game really is by how quickly your fingers and thumbs begin to cramp up and go numb. In games like Ninja Gaiden , Contra , and Double Dragon , the action is so fast and relentless that you have to hit the pause button now and then just to flex your fingers.

Rolling Thunder from Tengen is one of those games - a guaranteed thumb-numbing action thriller. Basically, it's a shoot-to-kill secret agent adventure with a science fiction twist. There are enough alien attackers, hooded thugs, and cloaked ninjas to keep the fastest fingers flying.

And make no mistake, shooting to kill is just about the whole game. Based on the popular arcade game, Rolling Thunder pits your gun-toting hero - a member of the Rolling Thunder secret police - against the insidious hordes of Mabu, an alien intruder who is directing the Evil Society in the ultimate conquest of the world. Mabu's thugs have captured a policewoman, Leila, and are holding her in the alien's secret underground fortress. Starting at the entrance to the fortress, you shoot your way through ten levels of increasingly difficult and deadly enemies.

There are several different kinds of hooded thugs with varying degrees of power; ninjas who suddenly drop from the walls; ape-men and panthers that leap at you; bats with human faces; and alien balls of flame that split apart and attack when shot. Oil up those nine millimeters, gunfighters, Rolling Thunder is back for some hard hittin' shoot-em-up action. Rolling Thunder 2 by Namco builds on the marksman's tradition established by the coin-op and the 8-bit NES versions. This is an excellent sharpshooter game that rewards a keen shooting eye and quick reflexes.

One or two players can partake in this shoot-out. You play either Albatross or Leila. Unlike most two-player set-ups, it takes teamwork to survive. When one agent eats it, he or she doesn't reappear until the other agent reaches a continue point on the level. Game-play is undemanding and crisp. The action's spread across 11 Rounds, each with a boss and a time limit. The concept is video game simplicity itself: shoot or be shot. Other than that you can jump up, jump down, or jump higher.

There isn't too much strategy involved although beating each Round requires different tactics, and you must duck into doors to find special power-ups, weapons, and, most importantly, extra ammunition. Key factors to monitor appear at the bottom of the screen: Hit Points remaining, Ammo, Time, and Lives.

This game can be murder! Normally, you can only take two hits and power-ups help you withstand a just few more. You only get three lives, but Namco generously provides passwords as well as unlimited continues from the beginning of the lethal Round, although your penalty is seven button presses from the Game Over screen.

The graphics will grab ya'. They don't explore new territory, but they're nicely drawn and painted with bright colors. The main characters, Albatross and Leila, sport the classic Rolling Thunder look -- thin and leggy.

The good looking side view run and gun action scrolls horizontally for the most part, although there are multi-tiered areas and elevator rides. You encounter skullduggery in some picturesque locales, particularly in the bio-research labs, the weapons warehouse, by the Sphinx, and in the underground desert hideout. The bad guys put together a tough team. Handgunners and grenade-pitchers make up the bulk of the criminal crew. Some foes have specialized talents for killing such as the Bomb Bowlers and the metal-shelled Roach Rollers.

The mean zoo crew includes Black Leopards and the obligatory Bats. You have your hands full with the routine assassins, but you run into some cool-looking robot Round bosses, too. When you aren't melting down your pistol barrel, you duck into the doors to search for power-ups to extend your time or life meters or weapons. Weapon selection is lean but mean. Your trusty automatic does most of the damage, but you can snatch submachine guns, Flame Guns, and Shot Clusters a high tech weapon consisting of six pulse lasers mounted on a rifle stock from Gimdo weapons caches behind the doors.

At the beginning of Round 8 don't go for the Flame Gun right away. You need your pistol's range at first. Rolling Thunder 2 keeps it simple. Shoot, duck, jump, and shoot some more -- it's a tried and true formula that scores again here. Ninja Gaiden , Strider , Shinobi - you can't keep a good action game down, they just keep rolling along -- like Rolling Thunder 2.

Just barely in the arcades and Namco is already programming a home version. Easily one of the best playing games at the show and promises to be a hot cart this winter!
