About Me
I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol.

My writing reflects the opinion of every corporation, company, individual, monsters, and gods.

Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose.

Read fun articles Josh wrote for Tomopop or Nukezilla! Professionalism!

Old School Games: Rolling Thunder
randombullseye | 3:55 AM on 08.10.2008 7 comments


Rolling Thunder is just such an awesome name. I don't think it has anything to do with the game at all though. Did anyone besides me play this game? Its on nintendo and had an arcade version, but I remember that nintendo one. The game just has this really fun color scheme to it. Minimal fun to be had with Rolling Thunder.





I love showing off awesome cover art. That thing is just plain out epic, isn't it?



In the game your a gun toting secret agent of some sort running left to right fighting hooded bad guys. You can duck in and out of doors collecting health or a machine gun and you can jump twelve feet in the air to the top part of the screen.



A fun little fact I thought I would share: This was one of those nes cartridges that was oddly shaped. It wasn't until a few years ago that I learned what that meant. Aparantly some companies released unlicensed games without the consent of Nintendo.



A nice quick to pick up and play game. I might write about the sequels in a future article, but they're all about the same. Rolling Thunder stands out for me because of the cartridge. Took me longer to find a picture of the box than I spent playing the game this morning. Ain't that something?



Do you guys want shorter or longer articles? Are daily updates too much? Do I need more pictures? Should I start talking about less obscure games and more games and more towards the mainstream? I might got a few pre-nes games on my list to talk about, but would anyone care to hear my thoughts about colecovision?

Well, I just read a comment you made on another post that had more text than your posts tend to. I'd add some more text. Give us a better feel for the game, tell us aspects of it that you like or dislike.

As for the images, there's plenty of them. There may even be too many. You can upload as many as you want and then only use a select few. They'll still appear in the gallery at the bottom of your post so that people can look at them if they like.

As far as posting about your Colecovision games, hell yes. I still have mine in my closet and I'd like to hear people's thoughts on some of these games.

This... is the game I listed for "name your favorite old school new school contest and win an 360" and I won... that makes me love the game even more.

I had the arcade Rolling Thunder in college in my dorm room.

Superior to the NES version in every way. NES version is still great.

The arcade version is fantastic. I've dropped many quarters on this one.
