Rolling Thunder 2

Conversions

Sequel of Rolling Thunder was converted only to one home platform - Sega Mega Drive - which is absolutely stellar and not only an extremely successful translation of the arcade original but also an improvement on it in many areas. As well as an intuitive password system an option to listen to the soundtrack in isolation and the ability to actually select which character to play as in a briefing room screen. Additionally there is the implementation of gorgeous inter-level cutscenes that feature Manga-style graphics. Along with that there are three extra levels, bonus weapon power-ups with flamethrowers and laser cannons joining the machine gun present on the coin-op and the inclusion of several end-of-level guardians to match wits with.
