… and they're called "Thunder" and "Fox", because it's an arcade game from 1990.Thunder Fox is an arcade game made by Taito for the arcade, released after The Ninja Warrior with a similar gameplay format, but set in modern times.The title refers to two tough-as-nails commandoes, "Thunder" and "Fox", leading an anti-terrorist unit, sent to infiltrate and dismantle a terrorist cell. An ass-kicking ensues.Besides for the arcade, Taito released the game for the Sega Genesis as well, which is slightly easier than it's arcade counterpart. The amount of obstacles are reduced, with a longer Life Meter granted to both Thunder and Fox. Some of the bosses are also swapped around for good measure.

Tanks for Nothing
 Thunder Fox (Video Game) / int_20e0d3e8
comment
Tanks for Nothing: A tank shows up as the first boss of the arcade release, and it's a slow, weak and easy Warmup Boss. It's projectile attacks are slow and avoidable, the cannon shots can be dodged easily by ducking, and it's attempts at ramming over Thunder and Fox can be overcome by jumping on it and using the tank for a ride. Also every now and then, a mook will stick out the tank's hatch, allowing Thunder or Fox to quickly kill him before lobbing a grenade into the still-opened cover.

Palette Swap: Thunder and Fox uses the exact same sprite in both versions, with the only difference being the color of their hair and pants (Thunder is the blonde guy in blue pants, For is the redhead with orange pants).

Powered Armor: In the Genesis version, the terrorist leader serving as the Final Boss of the Genesis version sics his personal bodyguard, clad in gigantic yellow exo-suit as the second-to-last boss battle. This is the only "new" challenge added by the re-release, with the mecha being completely absent in the arcade version.

Auto-Scrolling Level: A few of these appears in both ports, when Thunder and Fox leaps on speedboats or hover-planes and begin giving chase across enemy territory at full speed, using the turrets on their vehicles to shoot at enemies in the way.

Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight: For some inexplicable reason, most of the terrorist mooks armed with daggers will attempt attacking Thunder or Fox... when they're carrying firearms. The results are quite predictable.

comment
Exploding Barrels: Barrels are everywhere throughout the game, and what's even better is that instead of exploding instantly, they blow up after two to three seconds. Thunder and Fox can easily shoot at them, keep a distance, and watch as passing mooks get blown off their feet.

comment
Mirror Match" While most of the bosses are aircrafts or armored vehicles, some of the bosses are extremely durable human enemies roughly the same size as the titular heroes. Including the spear-swinging mercenary on the helipad, the terrorist leader's second-in-command and dragon (who attacks Thunder and Fox using a 50. Cal machine-gun) and the terrorist leader himself (well, at least until his elevated seat is destroyed).

Battle in the Rain: In the arcade version, the first stage set outside the terrorist compound occurs in the middle of heavy downpour. It magically stops however as soon as Thunder and Fox approaches the first tank boss.

comment
Blade Enthusiast: Fox is the knife expert of the two, where players choosing him have Fox lashing out slashing and stabbing moves with greater speed than Thunder. Consequently his ammunition pickup is a lot less than his partners. Even the end credits depicts Fox polishing his blade after killing the terrorist leader!

Battleship Raid: The second stage of both games, where Thunder and Fox enters an Airborne Aircraft Carrier base belonging to the terrorists (after shooting down their external defenses via hover planes) and force their way in. After destroying it's core, cue an intense escape from the entire ship about to self-destruct as Thunder and Fox made their way to an exit.

Attack Drone: Small, floating drones with twin-machine guns are occasional enemies, trying to take potshots at Thunder and Fox. They're hard to hit without jumping, but goes down in a single weak punch.
