Black Thunder

About

Black Thunder is a high speed arcade shooter for Commodore platforms blending racing and shooting mechanics. You control a speedy vehicle in a side scrolling race against enemies focused on quick reflexes and precision. The straightforward gameplay centers on steering through tight corridors while firing to clear obstacles and score points. Standout elements include digitized voices that add personality and a synth heavy soundtrack that matches the game's frantic pace. Released in late 1985 it's a single player blast for fans of no frills action with retro charm. The simplicity of controls and fast loops make it easy to pick up but tough to master.
