1988 really was a sweet spot not just for games but for me life in general😍😍😍 So many great things cartoons, games, TV, and we could still have a fire on Friday night while calling it entertainment.

I'm right there with you I was 17 around that time

They raided Prince's closet before the mission. Perfect, I've been waiting for an explanation for the purple overalls on these idiots for 30 + years. Great stuff.

I was glad to see Operation: Wolf get a shout-out here. One of my favorite shooting games of all time! Thanks for the cool vids!!!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Absolutely, be sure and check out my other video on operation Wolf although it is due for a remastering as that one is probably four years old

[@megatron8461]

In 1987, those violent movies ran rampant for a testosterone-filled time. Then, in 1988, Taito one-upped it in a monster way.

@wnc817white men. It was a great time for movies, games, war and drugs. and I understand why white men are so butt hurt about not being the center of attention. Now it’s trans men and Asians who are the center of attention. But don’t feel bad, white men will end this world very soon. Just ask Putin or Biden

Operation Wolf and Operation Thunderbolt were two classic arcade machines that had no troubles relieving the quarters from my pockets back in the day. Thank you so much for making this video!

even after they had released computer/console ports (versions) of Operation Thunderbolt and/or Operation Wolf late 1980’s / early 1990’s 1. Amiga 2. Amstrad 3. Atari ST 4. Commodore 64 5. DOS 6.

Operation Thunderbolt was a challenging game! Thanks for covering the history of this classic era arcade game and the alternate versions. I was not great at blasting so many enemies showing up onscreen at one time. Gumshoe on NES would be one of my favorites. Thanks, Patman!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes it was, It was a lot of fun

[@VegarotFusion]

I have a fond memory of playing this with some random kid at a corner that no longer exists. His Dad owned the machine so we had unlimited credits. We finished it. Then I left and never saw him again. That was over 30 years ago. Where ever that kid is these days I hope he's doing well.

The Delta Force 1985 film is a major influence on this game. It mirrors it. Hijackers take a holiday plane to Tunisia. There are different locations where people are being held up. A prison, the plane and another building. The stages in this game are similar.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That's because Delta force was inspired by the real operation entebbe

[@jamesnoble3502]

One aspect of Delta Force that always cracked me up was American actor Robert Forster (he was Captain Dan Holland in The Black Hole) playing a Middle Eastern terrorist 🤨😆

[@cleetusvandame]

So Awsome to see a video on operation thunderbolt. I have both wolf and thunderbolt arcade games which are two of my favourites of my entire collection. Taito also learned from their mistakes and made thunderbolt a more reliable game compared to wolf that had its share of problems. I always thought operation thunderbolt had a bit of the delta force feel to it, I just never understood how enemies could launch grenades at the player inside the plane and nothing ever happened lol. Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed this one.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

You know I never thought about the whole grenades inside of an airplane scenario. I was too busy dishing out punishment to all the bad guys :-)

Thanks for the nostalgia trip! I swear I saw this at every Arcade back in the day. I'm surprised its as chaotic as I remember as a kid, that nade + knife spam is brutal.

[@vintagecapgunsatyourmomshouse]

We had a variety of arcade games in our frat house and this was one of them. One of the computer science guys would always crack the cabinet, gaining access to the dip switches, so we could play for free and adjust settings. I have so many incredible memories of playing this and other light gun games. We always got either beat them ups or like gun shooters.

[@SNARC15]

A funny little side note. The "Sully Fall Scream" was actually used in the follow up game, Operation Wolf 3. Also there are 16 hostages you need to rescue (8 in both stages 4 and 6,) not the 18 you mentioned earlier. Though we can possibly say 17 if you include the pilot at the end.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Excellent, I didn't know that. Thanks

[@bransonbenson9520]

As a war history buff I am amazed the game Operation Thunderbolt was based on a real life military campaign of the same name! Another gem of a video PatMan-still a perfect record!!!💯

And then they cut it out. because in 80s America video games where not allowed to be realistic. because its for 5 year olds only.

I can still play the Arcade at my local arcade (The Box Arcade.) The only gripe with it is the final stage were if you die after reaching the pilot then it's game over even if you have credits or not (which you covered in the original Operation Wolf Documentary.) If I want to beat the game I got to let the boss's minions kill me right before the main fight so I don't run out of health nor ammo (pro tip in a way.) I did get the best ending, but after playing the entire game in a single setting to the ending my muscles ache for hours.

Was glad to finally beat this game on a replay after I accidentally killed the pilot the first time I played this in the arcade. Even harder was a game called Target: Terror because it took me a while to realize you had to shoot the detonator in the terrorist's hand instead of the actual terrorist. LOVED Lethal Enforcers and Mad Dog McCree. I think I also beat Mad Dog McCree 2 and Crime Patrol. Never got to the end of the second Crime Patrol game though. Did get to the end of the Cops game though. That was fun. Bad boys, bad boys lol.

I hated how the game let you continue all the way until the end, but then if you died to the final boss it was just game over and you were done.

Operation wolf was one of my favorite arcade games along with afterburner

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Wolf and thunderbolt are my two favorite arcade shooters

[@mr.pavone9719]

IIRC, Operation Thunderbolt didn't use light guns but rather the guns were basically joysticks that controlled your point of aim. They're less prone to issues with ambient lighting, abuse, reflections on the screen, more precise and reduce the number of technical steps between aiming and shooting. They really made it possible to do things like shooting the terrorist but not the pilot in the final stage of the game. Later light guns made sniper-like shots possible but not so much with the stuff they had in the late 80s & early 90s.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

When I was researching my operation Wolf video three years ago I thought I read something about thunderbolt not using light guns but when doing this video I couldn't find it. Thanks for the info

I always thought this game was a lot more fun than Operation Wolf because I was felt like Wolf was ridiculously hard... I can't get past stage 2 or stage 3 because they are just way too many enemies on the screen all shooting you at the same time. O:TB on the other hand seemed a little bit more fair and you can survive on one credit a lot longer. This game also seemed like you are playing the Chuck Norris role from Delta Force (the 1986 movie) The hostages stupidly and almost purposely standing in your line of gunfire flailing around in a panic always cracked me up. Get out of the way!!!😆

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

The hostages were extremely annoying. Delta force was based on the real operation entebbe

Did you ever do Taito space gun?

[@andyc8257]

The Amstrad/Speccy/GX4000 version is a lot easier when you realise only things on your "half" of the screen need to be shot - i.e. player one will only take damage if it hits the left side of the screen. The lack of cross hairs still made it incredibly annoying though. As I understand it, this was an edict from Taito as they saw it as a "new feature" and had a power up which gave you a cross hair temporarily that they insisted had to remain. Apparently nobody could persuade them that while that was fine in the arcades, with a physical "gun" you could aim with, it made the home conversions near unplayable.
