I remember playing this for the first time I was about 10. my father took me and a friend to a seaside day trip and the ice-cream shop/cafe had this set up in the corner. it was incredible.
3:25 Roy Adams: "Tell me, where is the concentration camp?" Enemy: "It's located between the ammunitions' storage and the airport!! But you need to pass through the village first!!"
I still remember when I saw that Arcade for the first time !! 🤩 ... A sun machine gun bolted to an arcade !! 😬 ... How long and how many coins !! ... This channel is one of my favorites on RU-vid !!! 👏
An all-time classic arcade game. I played this game a lot on the Commodore 64 and Amiga, and i still have it on my PlayStation 2 (TAITO LEGENDS). SPLENDID! YOU ARE A REAL PRO. 😺👍
Colin Porch did a superb job on the C64 version - I owned the version that came with the C64 lightgun! Amiga version looked amazing, although the collision detection is a little sketchy...
1:22 / 1:32 / 1:41 - The player wasted his bullets on those passing three 10-wheeler trucks, which is not included on the enemies list💥💥💥No wonder his bullets are depleted easily👎👎👎
If I were the player here I won't waste my bullets on those 10-wheeler trucks passing by🚛🚛🚛Why? It's not included on the enemies list. Your mission here is to eliminate the enemies for good and rescue the hostages🪖🪖🪖
Definite props for playing the much harder later revision of the game. I remember indulging in this one myself with a bunch of guys on freeplay at the PCW show in 1988 (I was there as part of a god-awful US Gold C64 competition I'd rather not talk about) on the maximum level of difficulty, and none of us, not even me, could clear that hellish last stage. (>_
I know coin-ops are supposed to get you pumping in more coins, but I've noticed the average difficulty of the lightgun/on-rail shooters I've played recently are far tougher than other genres. Operation Thunderbolt goes completely off the deep end in this regard, the main reason I have zero fondness for it.
I don't recall the original c64 version and later 286/386/486 pc version have girls running around. The ported to pc version wasn't better than c64 with dowgraded audio & graphics
Not an idle boast! I almost won that contest with little or no practice (went through the first round without even playing the game beforehand). Yes, I used to be quite the player back in my day - I still would be if it weren't for the M.E., but even then, I can still kick arse with the best of them when it comes to my favourite genres, as you can plainly see from my channel. (=^_^=)
Sadly, I don't think Op Wolf would be possible since it requires a CRT, unless they used something like a Sinden light gun. Op Thunderbolt might be possible because I don't think it's actually a true light gun, more like some sort of positional controller? They've just released a T2 Arcade cab with 2 guns, so should be possible?
1: DAMN 9mm rounds that can take out armored APCs, GOD I love the 80's! . 2: What the heck were bikini clad beach bunnies doing in a third world war zone? "Worst vacation EVAR, Becky!"
My favorite arcade shooter from the Golden age of arcades, I used to have the original cabinet now I just have the NES version and the arcade version on PS2 Taito Legends
Wow! I remember seeling the arcade version at a Pizza Hut in Silver Lane, and I also remember my brothers playing the NES version when we were kids. Brings back memories! :)
Used to played this in the arcades and lasted 2 stages for a quarter. Was some kind of cheat used on the play? Don't remember so many ammo and rockets in the beginning?
Where are the other 3 game over screens 1.(Losing all damage without bulletts ans rockets left) 2.(Fail to save the hostages in the last stage) 3.(Fail to save the hostages in the fifth stage)
You think this is 4K it’s an old arcade game either your playing the game on an arcade machine or mame 32 that has no 4K this game wasn’t released to any consoles except for the Nintendo 8 bit graphics please don’t call this 4K you want 4K you go and play Xbox series X and PS5 games that are 4K
Someone else who doesn't understand the difference between recorded at versus played at... I get it sometimes with my videos (heh, I think I'm more than aware that H.E.R.O. on the Atari Console didn't display at 4K for example - I mean, I was there back in 1984 beating it on a bona fide CRT television with a pretty crappy aerial port connector). Obviously the original doesn't play at that res, but recording it at a higher one does result in RU-vid using a much higher quality codec, hence giving a better quality video overall, which is precisely why we do it, you see. (=^_^=) Also, the PC is superior to any console, so please don't go quoting them like they are the end all be all of gaming because they really aren't. Speaking for myself, I've been using 4K for something like 8 years now, long before the PS4 Pro or any equivalent cheap, mid-range PC... sorry, X-Box came out. Indeed, I had one of the very first 4K monitors, the Dell Ultrasharp UP3214Q, back when it was still nigh on impossible to display that res without using split-screen DisplayPort technology. (^w^)
