Man. When I was a little kid my dad used to play this constantly. I remember him lying on the floor in front the TV with the NES controller in his hands. Must have been 88/89. Time flies.
Stop it. 😭
Verdade amigo, joguei muito nessa época, devo ter a mesma idade de seu pai.
@@Purification-db2zp ❤️❤️🙏🏻
Some friends of my parents rented this game for their kids, and we all got together one Friday night, and we played this game.
Man, that must have been back in 1989 or 1990. I would have barely been 3 at that time.
I haven't played this game since.
I loved this game in the arcades back in the 80's. This is a great port for an 8-bit console👍
I remember the arcade version of this game but not the NES version. Well done.
This was my favorite game for the NES when it was out. Loved the arcade game but really enjoyed it at home.
Amazing game. Hours playing that in arcades , later in nes!
What other nes game has implied rape scenes, and allows you to go out shooting spacemen and the KKK? Truly a classic.
I finished in 1993 👍
@@lowen__ yes
@@caiusmadison2996 I honestly have no idea what I was talking about
Same gameplay as Shinobi. Music even sounds similar.
The KKK?! wow lol
This looks like a great conversion, graphics wise and also gameplay. Shame I didn't get chance to play this when I was a kid.
Me and my dad used to play this game together!! Such good memories!! And the music is so freaking good!!
Just finished this game. Last level is quite challenging but one interesting thing I observed and wanted to share is that the final boss does not appear until you have exhausted your MG ammo. Best to just unload it all from one side of screen to make it easy, then do mostly low shots against him except for when he fires high. You should have enough ammo if you got all pickups in the level and don't fire too fast on him unnecessarily.
I like how the enemies are clapping after the game is beat as the boss yells at them😅
I love how you could be standing infront of them, and they're still moving around searching for you....
Great job in beating that insanely tough game, Rolling Thunder.
i never got past level 6 as a kid.
@@steelfan81 I never got past level 3 as a kid...sheesh
I could never get past Stage 4. The fact that you only take 2 hits on an 8 block life bar with PATHETIC after-hit invincibility time and the stiff controls make this game, in my opinion, one of the worst Namco arcade games ever. (BTW, if you like this game that's okay - I have nothing against you for it. I'm just retelling my own personal experience from playing it.)
I had to look up how the fuck to kill the owls in the fourth level.
One of my favorites..remember playing this on an old coin op in a convinience store for hrs
Man I miss playing this as a child
I still remember this game had one of those special cartridges that was curved at the top; made me feel all special for owning it, lol.
Very tough old school game, a bit tougher than the second game, way tougher than the third. They are all pretty damned fun run and gun titles though. Save Leila in this game, get to use her in the second game, then get stuck with a jabroni named Jay, and another hidden lady character in the third game.
Tougher than the arcade, and graphically for an 8 bit nes game very close to the arcade.
Yeah!! Its a masterpiece.
I was the only person I ever heard of actually owning this game in the 90s. It was really fun and i remember Geldra was easy because I had enough MG to wipe him out fast.
Me and my friends all loved this game. I and several others bought it. Practically everybody I knew rented/borrowed this! We were all jacked up for arcade hits like this, the Pac games(especially Pac-Mania), Shinobi, Xenophobe, Spy Hunter, Gauntlet, etc... to come home to the Nintendo.
Geldra's the name of the criminal organization; Maboo(the green goblin lookin dude in blue robe) is the leader. Regarding gunning down Maboo: on the Fami/NES versions he won't come out until you use up all of your machine gun ammo.(I've fought him five times or so, and every time that was the case; I also looked it up on the net to make sure...) It *might* work on the arcade version? I dunno, but since I'm gonna try a run through RT on Gamecube Namco 50th Anniversary or the Switch Namco Museum Arcade Pac (depending on which controller is the most comfortable.)sometime in the near future, I guess I'll be finding out!
I owned it. The black Tengen cartridge.
I remember when it was a big deal for NES to port arcade games. Love it!
I liked the anime-style graphics for Leila, but the sounds could use improvement.
This is the U.S.A. Version. Sound is full N2A03.
Japanese Version's music is different, has N2A03 + N163 (Namco WSG sound chip on Cartridge)
12:06 Game Over laugh, the Arcade version was my childhood.
I play in 1993, salved remember 😁
This game has some of the cheapest enemy placement
Nostalgia
Damn what a port for the NES, that's how to put that system to use. Plays better than Shinobi on the SMS, which was also a very respectable port for its time.
Dude...I remember getting this game as a kid, the lava pit was as far as I made it. Even at 40 now I'm sure I'd have a hard time. We'll done glad to see the ending lol
This isn't the real ending though.
I can t believe rolling thunder on nes .
i realize Im kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to watch new series online?
This was my favorite game as a kid.
Are the enemies dabbing when they get killed? LOL
so this is where Code Name Viper was inspired of? they really got a lot out of this game in it, but this one runs smoother and has more detail attention, but i gotta say both games where my childhood and both smith and this protagonist are my favorite agents from NES era
Runs smoother? Viper is 5x better than Rolling Thunder, as far as gameplay, art, and music go. You can't even shoot while jumping in RT.
@@ostiariusalpha RT is also the older of the 2 games, Capcom studied this game, and made improvements to the formula, courtesy of Arc Systems, who ported this game to the 8 bit console, and Code Name Viper.
Finally found this game , I saw it on Namco Museum (Nintendo Switch) !! I played this when I was a kid I can't even read yet but grown ups called this "James Bond" game turns out its a completely different game title. glad I found this.
1:03 - Albatross's mobile phone starts ringing...
Oh how many quarters I lost to this game in 1988...
Leila does not give Albatross a smooch on the cheek in the US version, nor does she the arcade, but in the FC version, she shows him a little more appreciation.
Grew up with the ps2 namco revolution remake, very similar and got to level 4 but the owls would get me every time, I was four at the time. Grew up with arcade games from 2010-2014, never forgetting any of them except mrs. Pac-Man, screw that rip off, the only Zoomer that grew up with arcade games sine the remakes were just about the only games I had at the time
The graphics on this game were pretty outstanding when it came out, better than anything else around at the time.
i was upset not to see this game on the small nes remake..
This game wasn't licensed by Nintendo so that might have something to do with it.
Is it just me, or is the NES version harder than the arcade? The arcade version looks slower and the enemies don't react as fast
NES version is much harder, and that's not taking anything away from the arcade version which was plenty hard itself. I could get to level 8 but never beat the arcade version. The NES version best I can do is level 3.
Better than the arcade version, a lot more challenging, more levels, and more fun, and graphically very close to the original.
This guy is good!
This game needs a remake
there is two versions for the sega genesis great games 10 out of 10
@@predaking2wings this game would be badass on Playstation and Xbox
Joguei em 1992.
Anybody else get stuck at the short laser beam part at 14:20 and simply give up? I remember when you could call a number for game hints and they'd tell me to just time my jumps.... ugh..... still couldn't do it.
Sempre morria nesse chefão! Foi bom ver o final
Even though the namco arcade is the superior one, 8bit music on the nes slaps
The Famicom version is even better, and by a huge margin. Have you heard it? It uses an additional chip, super diesel.
Me faltaban 2 niveles para terminarlo y nunca pasó. Mi Nintendo NES murió antes 😭
Gracias por el vídeo y ver toda la trama 😊
Hay emuladores para que puedas jugar juegos Nes en la computadora. Tengo uno llamado RockNesX
I could NEVER get past the last level when I had this back in 1991.
how can made final boss appear?

Que saudade! Brasil
Nunca passei da primeira fase na época. Bons tempos! !
Eu também. Na época um vizinho me emprestou o cartucho por um fim de semana. Se eu cheguei na segunda fase foi muito! Não tive muita paciência para joga-lo.
*Lembro que até cheguei na última fase, mas não zerei, jogo dificil, ficava até tarde madrugada jogando. Muito nostálgico assistir agora*
man this one was tough to master! took me like 3 solid days of practice to beat it. able to beat it now in a single try with 5+ lives leftover.
Is it me or do the look like the Clan's name that shall not be mentioned
Passei minha infancia tentando terminar e não consegui kkkk. Tks Man!
This seems to be in the same style as the elevator action
This was my SHIIT back in the day!
Yeahhhhh!!!
Very tough game one cannot complete using cheats also
code name viper?
@shadowshinobi06 The guys who did the port for this game (Arc System Works) went on to do Codename Viper... It's very obvious when you compare the two. In fact I'd go as far as to say they run on the same Game Engine...
One minute into the video and the player made it farther than I ever did as a dumbass kid in 1988 or whatever. 🤣
codename: viper is a game on nes that looks like this one
thanks for killing every single bad guy.... I loved this game... I never passed level 5 :( Well Done!!!
I know this is a console game but I really wish this would end up on GOG or Steam.
You could always play it on an emulator
I suppose but the one time I tried using an emulator for a game it was pretty buggy and I cant find a decent site thats not a malware fest. but Ill probably look around cause I really miss this game.
There’s always Namco Museum
Ive been looking for the name of this game for 8 years... cant believe I forgot it but I played it when I was a little kid who couldn't read all to well.. one day as an adult I remembered the game and could never find the name of it.. I tried typing "2d shooter, enemies wearing hoods, able to go into doors" but that of course turned up nothing... lol.. Im so glad I found the name of this game again. Now I just need the name of a game where you battled other spaceships and you could crash into planets that had "gravity" and you got to select different ship/characters.. the memorable ones being a fox or dog thingy in a ship that was very weak but fast and his special was self-destruct lol, and another shit that was kind of cool that was piloted from this weird tentacle like alien and would shoot little min seeker's that would attack the enemy and he would yell something like "VULCH-FIRES!" when using that attack... uhg that ones gonna be harder to find.. the artwork on the game had a hand holding a plentit.. looks kind of monsters. (I think)
JoeCow's Gaming Realplays Maybe you've played "Codename: Viper" which copied the same play mechanics
Game Genie Codes..
Please Thank You..
Yes cheats rolling thunder
4:43 reminds me of Sandra Bullock in _A Time To Kill_ right there;
7:20 bit beefy there;
Shit graphics, shit sounds, but way better ending than arcade version, which kind of redeems it...
Famicom version sounds alot though. the NES tengen version here is bad.
This isn't the real ending.
Bro, if you think this is bad, just look up Tengen's version of Shinobi for the NES.
Better yet, play it. Total bastardization.
Hey! What happened to Story 3 & Story 4? Yes, I know that Story 3 goes over the same levels as Story 1 and Story 4 goes over the same levels as Story 2, with more intense enemies, but you had only played half of the game. Your channel name and this title says “complete” and this is NOT a complete runthrough. I know this because every level has a password (unlike what the game wants you to think, by only giving you a password to get back to the level, every OTHER level). Just to prove it, the password for the last level of the game - Story 4, Area 10 is: 6983701.
A complete playthrough only needs to show the 2 loops that matter, the first two.
Thank you to Atari/Tengen for forcing Nintendo to finally drop their draconian licensing practices with games like this unlicensed "Rolling Thunder", which seemed to me like a decent port.
I never liked Nintendo's draconian licensing practices in the first place. They should have never been strict to their licensing practices cause that's why we never got nice quality games at first. I know they wanted to stay out of Atari's shadow, but censorship is just bad and Nintendo knew better. My least favorite part of Nintendo is heavy censorship within video games only to appeal to children back then. Second most, not enough Daisy in the 1990's.
Arcade was better but this was still an amazing port
WHY DO HIS LEGS LOOK LIKE THAT
12:07
WTF is piccolo doing here?
The music did not translate well from the arcade version to this. Oy.
Sure, it did.
@@ignaciocue Those high pitched vibrato/tremelo sounds are just brutal on the ears.
Wth? Code name viper?
Man, ninjas sure did a lot of asshole things in the 80s
Jesus Christ, when I was a kid playing this, I didn't understand the implications beyond the girl on the screen, that's some gross shit
this game is shit but vs atari games is King Of The Kings....
Looks boring.
it isnt, though
It was fun as hell!
Looks can be deceiving, try playing it and judge for yourself.
You're trolling right??
