Synopsis

Rolling Thunder is a 1986 run and gun video game developed and published by Namco for arcades. It was released by Atari Games in North America.

Rolling Thunder was a commercial success in arcades, and was released for various home computer platforms in 1987 and the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989. The original arcade game has been included in various classic game compilations as well. It influenced later arcade action franchises such as Shinobi and Time Crisis, which borrowed mechanics such as taking cover behind crates.
