Rolling Thunder and Rolling Thunder 2 series of games seemingly inspired by the James Bond films. Take your pick of either secret agent Albatross or his sexy sidekick Leila and fight your way through countless foes, solving the occasional puzzle along the way. Rolling Thunder 2 takes just about everything the original did well and does it better. Sharper and more detailed graphics, a greater variety of weapons, smarter and more plentiful enemies; all make for a great sequel.

Hordes of terrorist androids are after you, and you're on your own if you think you're going to escape alive. Blow away your mutated enemies with machine guns, rifles, and more in this nerve-racking race against the clock. Dive past exploding grenades and enemy fire as you control super agents Leila or Albatross through a mess of action in a high-powered epic based on the popular arcade game, Rolling Thunder. If you have the skills and smarts to stay alive, the adventure will take you from Miami to Egypt and back again before all is said and done. Play alone or team up with a buddy for cooperative excitement that'll blow you away. In this port of the coin-op actioner Rolling Thunder 2, you'll infiltrate an evil empire that spans the globe from Miami's palm trees to Giza's towering pyramids.

Rolling Thunder 2 features:

• Play based on the arcade original.
• Huge firepower.
• Nerve-racking excitement.
• Two playable characters.
• Two-player action.

Also Rolling Thunder 2 is a password supported game, so in other words you get a password at the end of each round so if you loss all your lives, you can continue from the end of that round, very handy.

Rolling Thunder 2 is an arcade game by Namco released in 1990. It is the sequel to 1986's Rolling Thunder and retains the same run and gun gameplay of its predecessor, adding cooperative gameplay for 2-Players and improved graphics. Unlike the original Rolling Thunder, which was set in the 1960's, Rolling Thunder 2 features a more contemporary setting to go along with its more futuristic designs. A Sega Mega Drive port was released in 1991.

This game port differs from the arcade original by its inclusion of cut scenes before each stage consisting of a single static images displayed above a scrolling text that narrates the story's progession.

There are also three additional stages not found in the original arcade version that take place between the arcade's original stages. These stages stand out from their arcade counterparts due to the presence of different upgradable weapons (either, a flamethrower or a laser shot) and stage bosses.

A multi-scrolling, 2-D platform shoot-em-up. Playing as a male or female agent, take on a terrorist organization throughout eight unique levels that span the globe.
