Rolling Thunder is an unlicensed action game that was first released in the Arcade in 1986.
+ The multiple platform levels result in a fun game of cat and mouse where you constantly need to think two steps ahead.+ Being able to hide in a doorway to avoid an enemy and then pop out at an opportune time is an engaging mechanic.
+ Difficulty balance is superb in welcoming newcomers, before gradually ramping up the challenge with fresh enemy types.
+ Art style is striking and your character's otherworldly appearance along with the spy music sets a cool, mysterious tone.
- Jumping always feels awkward, as you can't shoot in mid-air, nor can you adjust to quickly get yourself out of harms way.
- Platforming in later stages is poor due to the aforementioned controls and enemies that suddenly appear from nowhere.
- Enemies frequently exit doors just as you're about to enter them, which results in a multitude of cheap hits.
