Ranking Midway's Thunder Games From WORST TO BEST (Top 5 Games!) 

Since Hydro Thunder Hurricane is backwards compatible there is still an active online community. I play it occasionally and it’s still very fun.

You forgot H2Overdrive which was like an spiritual succesor of the original made by the same team. Also, if you want an extra challenge after beating the original Hydro Thunder.... Try the career mode exclusive to the PS1 version. You have to win all of the races of the game with one boat, without saving and without losing all of your money or you have to start all over again. The hardest challenge of the original game by far....

Dude Artic Thunder on the actual arcade machine was amazing. The vibration from the seat, and then the machine blowing air in your face, making it feel like you are in the game. Too fuckin cool! Artic or Hydro are in my Top 10 best arcade games

The makers of hydro thunder hurricane went on to make the Riptide series. Very similar but they race hydrojets instead of boats.

Zoomed here. Arctic thunder was the first arcade game I have ever played! I played it at the movie theater back when the movie “Guardians” was playing It was a cool Christmas movie I was like 7 at the time lol

I've had some of the best times playing hydro thunder hurricane locally with the boys on the weekend just barely beating each other by milliseconds

Pretty nice to see a video on these games! You did my boy 4 wheel dirty though

Hydro Thunder hurricane was meant to be a "third game" after "Hydro Thunder 2" but Hydro Thunder 2 was cancelled unfortunately.

Where is h2o overdrive?

I want a new hydro thunder , arctic thunder , rush , crusin I just want the classic 90s childhood games back!

Omg i used to play hydro thunder on XBLA back in the day but i didnt remember its name until i saw ur video😂😂

there are other water racers out on steam too,, though the only one I can remember is Aqua Moto, its very similar to splashdown

H2Overdrive is the successor made by raw thrills it’s good but just like all of raw thrills is limited by only having 5 courses (it may be 6 I can’t remember)

It remembers me of jetmoto. Never heard of this series.

Hydro thunder just made me smile so much I use to love playing that game I had the ps1 I still have all my consoles I was born in 1995 but I use to play that game when I was sooo young I kinda had to force myself to be good I wasn’t that good when I first played but got the hang of it and that’s how my game obsession started I fucking love video games man 💯

Always wanted to give them a try :D

Hey Johnathan do you know about H2Overdrive?

You should rank all the Mortal Kombat games made by Midway

been playing with full lobbies on several occasions the past month

Still fire up Hydro Thunder on the Dreamcast from time to time great fun.

There's more games than Hydro Thunder? I just seen Hydro Thunder at the arcade and that's it.

Ooo intrigue

What about San Francisco Rush ma brada?

I always wanted Hydro Thunder for the Dreamcast, but I got it for the PS1 instead. It's not bad for the PS1, It's just not the Dreamcast version. Hell, I would have settled the N64 version, but nope. I told everyone Dreamcast, if not that, then N64. Damn you grandma! You ruined Christmas! I still have it and play it from time to time. It's a great game. But I still want it for Dreamcast........ Hell, I can get it for Dreamcast and N64! Then I'll have them all!!!!

there is the riptide franchise that can compete with boat racers

I want a new Hydro Thunder game sucks it was discontinued

🤘🎮🕹🍻

Arctic Thunder is the best Thunder game.

Hydro and Off Road thunder were the best. The reat sucked. Especially 4 Wheel Thunder. Trash

Huge racist bro, love racing games💪
