Rolling Thunder is an arcade game released in 1986 by Namco. It is a side-scrolling action game where players control "Albatross", a member of WCPO's "Rolling Thunder" espionage unit, who infiltrates the hideout of a terrorist cult named Geldra, led by a green-skinned humanoid alien named Maboo. Unlike other action titles, it is a little more slower paced, and is more about taking cover from enemy fire and conserving ammo than mindless running and gunning. You often have to find cover, hide behind doors (some which hold more ammo for your weapons) and leap up and down between floors.A Famicom/NES port was released in 1989. Although the Famicom version was an official release in Japan, the NES version was one of the few Namco games that were localized in the U.S. by Tengen without Nintendo's license along with Pac-Man and RBI Baseball (a localization of Namco's Family Stadium), resulting the game being released as one of Tengen's black cartridges. The original arcade version has also been re-released in various Namco Museum compilations.Two sequels were released: Rolling Thunder 2, an arcade sequel released in 1990 that featured better graphics than the original and 2-player co-op (with Leila as Player 1 and Albatross as Player 2) with a Sega Genesis port in 1991; and Rolling Thunder 3, a Genesis-exclusive final entry centered around a new agent named Jay.There is also an officially sanctioned webcomic, Rapid Thunder, that continues the plot of the games.Not to be confused with the unrelated 1977 action film of the same name. See also its Spiritual Successor, Time Crisis. | |

Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Applies to Gimdo in Rolling Thunder 2, where he gets away in a sub at the end of the first half. Dread does this a couple of times to Jay in Rolling Thunder 3 as well. | |

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard: The original game. You see that 8-segment Life Meter? You only ever lose 4 or 8 HP at a time, so in practice you only have two hit points. The NES version is more honest about it, showing a two-segment meter instead. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Hiding behind doors. Besides wasting time, enemies will keep appearing and sometimes they will stay around the door until you come out. The second game required this in the last level, but that's only because you need to conserve ammo for Gimdo, the final boss. Unless you like firing Painfully Slow Bullets that is... | |

Crosshair Aware: The sniper and spider robot in the third game. There's also the first and third bosses of the Genesis version of Rolling Thunder 2. For really good and obvious reasons, this is averted in the third game's bike level, jetski level, and plane level (you're on a hijacked plane and you can virtually see the whole plane interior). | |

Floating Timeline: A weird example. The first game was an intentional period piece set in the late 1960's, but Rolling Thunder 2 moved the game's setting to the 1990's. The sequel even establishes that it's the same Leila and Albatross from the original game, not just different agents who inherited the codenames. | |

Not Completely Useless: The knife in 3. Not only is it helpful for close range combat, but it's helpful against Dread's second phase in your final battle with him.note You can jump over the first two lasers which fires low and duck under the next two which fires high, and he'll repeat the pattern over again, allowing you to slash him at close range. Using the knife also spares your special weapons, as completing a stage with a particular special weapon prevents it from being chosen again for the rest of the game. | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
| Rolling Thunder (Video Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Too Awesome to Use: 3 has this problem with its special weapons, because once you take a special weapon into a stage, you cannot use it anymore for the rest of the game. You might find that a weapon will be useful for the next stage, but you may find it more useful for a later stage, so you look at another weapon instead...or just forego special weapons altogether and use the knife, which can never be "used up". | |

Life Meter | |
| Rolling Thunder (Video Game) / int_84e189a8 | comment |
Life Meter: The arcade version's was pretty ridiculous. Your life gauge had eight bars when your character actually had only two hit points. Getting shot once killed you, and touching an enemy decreased the life gauge in half. This was corrected in the arcade sequel and, with the exception of emulated re-releases, all the console versions. In Rolling Thunder 3, you get three hit points if you play on the normal setting, but the harder difficulty gives you the standard two hit points. Some unmarked doors actually have life expansions, or the special weapon door if you didn't pick an alternate weapon in the pre-mission menu. | |

Continuing is Painful: Woe to you if you die, you'll go back to your pistol and lose any extra ammo and your machine gun (if you had one) when you restart from a checkpoint, or worse, the whole level. Rolling Thunder 3 subverts this problem by resuming from where you die, thankfully, and you keep everything you have unless all your lives are lost, in that case you start the stage over from the beginning. | |

Elaborate Underground Base: All games have at least one, but the first one was pretty much where it took place. | |

Load-Bearing Boss | |
| Rolling Thunder (Video Game) / int_e4cf1ef0 | comment |
Load-Bearing Boss: After killing Dread in the last level of Rolling Thunder 3, he tells Jay that a self-destruction mechanism is wired to his heart and will destroy everything in the base, including Jay. When you beat the game on the "Hard" difficulty, it's confirmed that Jay survives, through you can probably tell from the silhouette during the credits where he rises from the rubble. | |

Emergency Weapon | |

Emergency Weapon: If you run out of bullets, you can actually still fire. The catch is that the emergency bullets are snails compared to your normal bullets. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
| Rolling Thunder (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: The robot boss in the Genesis version of Rolling Thunder 2. His crosshair will slowly move back and forth and fire at you. Unless you can take advantage of a certain blind spot close to him early on in the battle, you'll lose a few lives and see the continue screen once or twice until you figure it out. The third game's first boss isn't any better. It'll move back and forth and fire shots at you, and will also jump in the spot where you're currently standing. What's worse is that when half of it's health is gone, it'll switch to a crosshair which fires explosive shots. | |
