The reason this works is because the game is divided into invisible 'sections' and once you cross a section boundary, the game forgets everything from the previous section. Once you have stocked up on bullets from a particular room (for example, a Machine-Gun-Bullets room), go forward past the door approximately the distance of two jumps (ensuring that the door in question is completely off screen), then turn back, visit the room again, and find more ammo.
* One of rolling thunder's more useful 'hidden features' is that it's actually possible to visit the ammo rooms more than once. At the end of the final stage, the player must battle the Geldra leader Maboo to rescue Leila and complete the mission. The stages in Story 2 are essentially a harder version of their Story 1 counterparts, featuring more traps and different enemy placement. Other enemies includes ninjas, mutated bats known as Gelzos, panthers, shrieking yellow creatures known as Blogas and lava men.Īlbatross must travel through two different segments or "stories" - each composed of five stages - making for a total of ten stages. Some Maskers do not shoot, but throw grenades instead, while others will shoot their gun while crouching, making their shots much harder to avoid.
Maskers are dressed in various colors, which determines both their strength and attack pattern. The majority of Rolling Thunder's protagonists are hooded soldiers known as "Maskers". As with the pistol, the assault rifle has a limited amount of ammunition. A weapons room gives the player a fully automatic assault rifle that allows for continuous firing by holding down the shoot button. Ammo rooms are clearly marked while weapons rooms have re-enforced metal doors. If the pistol's ammunition runs out, the player can only fire a single slow " chaser" bullet - with only one allowed on-screen at any one time - until more ammo is acquired.Įach level is littered with doors most of these contain constantly emerging enemies and must be carefully passed some, however, also provide ammunition and new weapons. Albatross begins the game armed with only a standard-issue pistol and a limited amount of ammunition. Rolling Thunder's gameplay takes place on two levels of platforms, with the player able to jump or drop to platforms as and when required. Albatross must also rescue captured field agent, Lelia Blitz and overthrow Geldra's leader, Maboo. Rolling Thunder is a single-player scrolling platform shoot-em-up in which a James Bond-esque secret agent codenamed 'Albatross' has been ordered by the Rolling Thunder anti-espionage unit to stop the criminal organization known as Geldra.
