Do not be deceived, this game is very hard. This gamer is exceptionally good.

I know... Dark souls is overrated, before 2000 every game was dark souls

Man, the evil leader took TWENTY-FIVE AK bullets to the neck area before going down...

All the panthers and bats were harmed in the making of this video

Certified classic

Looking at this video now, I just realized how close I was to actually clearing story 1. Story 2 appears to be a replay with some extra details and much improved enemies. But, considering how bad I was at playing almost every other arcade game in the 1980:s (Ghosts and goblins for example), I think I did pretty good with this one. Good times! Thanks for sharing!

Ghosts and goblins was harder than this iirc, you had to memorize everything 😆

First videogame I can remember playing. My parents were broke as a joke when they got out of the Navy (mainly due to my unexpected arrival; my Mother's DD214 was dated 6 months before my birth 😂) and couldn't afford a washer/dryer set. Because of this I ended up propped on a stool in front of various arcade cabinets in laundromats as a little one. This happens to be the one I remember. Good times.

Ahhh, 1980s arcade nostalgia. This was extremely hard, but the player here makes it look easy.

This game is still so awesome! The sprites, the music. Top notch stuff!

Fantastic game indeed. I think this one inspired Shinobi.

You can definitely see the similarities. Those were two of my favorite arcade games in the late 1980’s

i watched the whole thing. i had never seen the advanced stages and it felt like finding one eyed willy’s rich stuff. my childhood thanks you.

I don't remember the torture porn between levels.

Dude, you really did a great job! I had been stuck in stage 4 area 1 for months, and seeing your ability to avoid enemies with perfect timing was magnificent, as well as saving almost 800 bullets while I usually run out... Excellent indeed! 👍

I had Capcom’s take on this game for my NES. I got it solely because I knew it was basically Rolling Thunder. This game is just an absolute classic. It’s so fun!

Once we missed bus becuse this game and we had to walk 8 km home. Good times xD

the theme music at the level starts sounds like the music in Dumb and Dumber when Lloyd is running through the airport to catch Mary.

Amazing player, for an incredible game. Thanks for sharing.

The leader of the bad guys almost looks like Master Yoda from Star Wars.

We had one in Anaheim near Pep Boys that was popular on birthdays. I probably missed home room for months playing this at the 7-11 on the way to school. Good Times!

Hard to believe this game was a mere 20 minutes.

Good timing haha they discuss this game in the latest retro gamer magazine

I remember picking up the Tengen port for my NES, they couldn’t use the standard NES gray casing because parent company Atari didn’t want the restrictive license. It’s a fun read how they worked around the lock-out chip with their black cartridges.

Insanely hard game. You got skills.

I remember this game being so frigging hard. I never beat it. Awesome gameplay. It look like it took some time.

ah,that brought back memories,well played.

I spent way to much money on this game back in the day.

Colorful! I like it! This would have felt right at home on the Sega Master System.

I absolutely love this game!

OMG!!! I forgot all about this game. Played this when I was a kid. This game was crazy hard.

The flaming guys in Area 4 remind me of the final stage in _Splatterhouse_ with the rolling, bouncing logs. Both created by Namco, I wonder if they did that as an in-joke?

Magnificent!

BIg love for this game

Somehow all those hooded characters reminded me of an episode from Speed Buggy.

Those are some villainous dudes.

I remember I used to play this one often in namco 50th anniversary Good times

Badass game. Hard as shit.

I miss this franchise. Bring back Agent Albatross, Leila, Jay, Ellen, Geldra, Neo Geldra, Gimdo and Dread.

@@theodorehsu5023 yeah, 2 had Gimdo rebuild Geldra and added Leila as a playable character. 3 was a concurrent plot to 2 and had Agent Jay and Ellen take on Dread the arms dealer. Still it needs a comeback. A third person gunslinging adventure game.

If I could jump that high I'd probably go play in the NBA.

I remember playing this in the arcade, thought there was some kinda music though. oh there it is, it gets so hard by the end of it too, probably cost me 50 dollars in todays money lol

I played ROLLING THUNDER for the first time on the Commodore 64, ever since my older brother got the compilation called GIANTS (tape) for christmas 🎁🎄🎅 back in the early 1990's. I also played it on my Amiga 500, and it was absolutely slow and frustrating 😹🕹️.

I am awful at this game, but I enjoy playing it while making Bond/Sean Connery noises 😆 🤣 "Myeeeh! Maaaartiiini, shaken not schtrrrrred! Myyyyyeh!"

Oh man, I forgot about this one 👀

Basically Shinobi, right down to the animations.

One time I played this game and ran out of time at the very end of the stage but still passed it and the game soft locked on the cutscene

I remember playing this as a kid and not understanding a single that was happening in this game. Happy to say, I still don't.

The reason says here, South Korea's SunA Electronics' _Super/Rough Ranger_ (1987) does have plagiarized ideas that mocks similar identical gameplay but only 10-stages total and without rapid-fire machine guns

They knew what they were doing with all those cutscenes with girl during intermission.

Totally forgot all about this game. Very similar gameplay as Shinobi.

It's like kung fu with a gun

It looks quite difficult. Like Elevator Action but with masked bad guys

Hmm wonder where Technocop got its inspiration?

Can’t tell you how many times I miss jumps in this game SMH 🤦‍♂️

Repressed ptsd

Have this on a 10 in 1 arcade machine. Cant get past the second level lol

Ohhh so this was the game SEGA “got inspired with” when they created Shinobi, and its sequel Shadow Dancer! 🤭

Cheesy ending

8:42 - you didn't need to go in that door and then pop out, did you?

My advise, always duck and shoot.

So - Lupin the III vs Galactor?

Damn i could not remember the name of this one, i knew it as "that one game where James Bond kills the purple KKK"

There was another game just like this. But with a different title… Anyone know the name? I can’t remember.

😢

why is so similar to lupin lll nes?

Похожа на Sunset Riders

You have 8 health bars, but every hit takes off 4 of them. Why not just have 2 health bars? Nobody knows.

Maybe if you set the arcade machine setting to make the game easier, they'd only take away 1 or 2 health bars. I also love that this comment is at the bottom, meaning that somebody hated you for saying that, even though you made a good question.

@@JohnnyCasey That’s possible, but I’ve never messed with the dip switches. In my local arcade, it was 4 health per hit. Also, I didn’t actually like this game much. That probably offended anyone who loved it. No hard feelings.
