Arcade Longplay [369] Thunder Fox

[@Mrinnerstrength]

this game looks like the best video game ever.

[@VexaS1n]

This is the epitome of videogames to me... showcase of great hand made art, great music and simple but engaging gameplay

[@Hmongboi228]

You know the old saying, "Don't ever bring a knife to a gunfight?" Well this hero did and proved that saying wrong...

[@tomypower4898]

Automated_Response85 Yes presence of mind

[@aayushpal3135]

Either he was too strong, or the enemy soldiers were too weak.

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

There really needs to be more games like this and Green Beret. Knifing people by the thousands is so fun

[@saj8]

Now there was a game that deserved a sequel.

[@darrenclements6028]

Thunder Fox is legendary with Spectacular graphics and STUNNING gameplay Featuring Matthias Hues

[@kdog1981cop]

Been trying to figure out what game this was for years. Was standing alongside pitfighter in a dingy cafe in long street in Cape Town in the 90s. The fact I can remember that as a 42 year old tells you we lived in a golden time.

[@DrewDracoSune]

Way before we had MetalSlug, we had this

[@MarchandendYves]

One of the best game of its genre... Super fun to play. The Megadrive version was so much downgraded, it doesn't do justice to the original game, nor to the Megadrive !

[@KronnangDunn]

It lacked enough megabytes, I think it was a mere 4 meg cartridge. It needed more megs for the 2 player mode and all that multilayered parallax scrolling.

[@EvilMaxWar]

Ahh, the 90's.. Back when the world was still being saved by barechested men in blue jeans.

[@PaschanTOPs]

That was the 80s

[@KronnangDunn]

In the 80s they played the sax in some vampire flick....while covered in oil.@@PaschanTOPs

[@PuffZombie]

God damn, so much better then Genesis version ! Awesome longplay, thx.

[@KronnangDunn]

The Genesis version was marred with slowdown problems. It was due to insufficient memory.

[@darrenclements6028]

Thunder Fox is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and AMAZING arcade game 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@someonenow1]

This is the stabbinest game ever made.

[@ByronTheRapunzelFan1997]

20:11 that was when me and my brother keep failing when we had an Playstation 2 until it got stolen years ago. The memories.

[@Jabroniville]

Dang, who stole your PlayStation?

[@ObsessedCollector]

This feels like a sequel to Green Beret/Rush n Attack

[@misugijun]

i never knew this game existed. it seems a great game it is a shame i didn't know about it. thanks for playing it.

[@yellowblanka6058]

Love how they re-used sound effects from Operation Wolf.

[@jotarokujo6198]

you played taito legends on the ps2 also or arcade?

[@dezm101]

an underrated game! has similarities to rush n' attack (green beret), ninja warriors, and shinobi - plus those shoot em up stages really help break up the gameplay to keep it from getting monotonous

[@justinosborne5280]

This game was kinda fun even though it is extremely short. As always, it's expected for arcade games to be short.

[@sir1junior]

Thank you for this blast from the past; could never beat it as a kid sadly.

[@christopherwashington2417]

This and green beret predated gunstar heroes

[@shockz1715]

The fact that this won't get a rerelease on the new Taito machine disappoints me. I play this game religiously every 6 months.

[@Kerannnng]

So much better than the Genesis port..

[@jhonthestampede]

@Houston Helicopter Tours Inc. The only thing that genesis has that arcade version does not, is that yellow war robot before last boss.

[@makerofmadness9427]

Thunder Fox and Metal Gear exposing the glaring weakness of a Tank. The Common Grenade.

[@Fargusno7930]

Most of the sound effects here are reused by Kazuyuki Ohnui/Pochi from Operation Wolf, Operation Thunderbolt, Space Gun and Superman

[@luisreyes1963]

I thought the BGM sounded familiar. 🔊

[@dlfrsilver]

@@luisreyes1963 their soundbank lol

[@mrreasable2015]

"Badass: The Game"

[@Stonemantis2]

I've never seen this game before. Looks awesome , nice job playing

[@LondonOntGuy]

I remember renting this for Genesis not long after it was released, making it all the way to the end boss with next to no lives and no credits left. Of course, I didn't beat it. :( I don't recall ever seeing this in the arcade so I was surprised to see it listed on Mame, and my home town's arcades were always on top of the latest releases(we were a test market for Cyberbots and Darkstalkers 2 to give you an idea). Was this not a common game of theirs?

[@chrisrader4447]

I stumbled across a couple of seconds of Thunder Fox in a Digital Foundry episode and instantly recognized it. I've been looking for the name of this game for over a decade now, barely remembering anything about it other than it had a mix of sidescrolling, shoot-em-up, and the jet ski stage. I had to check this longplay out. Finally, I know that it wasn't some young kid's fever dream and also that I must've sucked because I didn't know you could just duck and stab that spear boss.

[@panjaitangguh7447]

2:17 whewww, drone has been appeared in the arcade game for the first time. The game is inspiration for Hi-Tech

[@triplestar100]

oh, a'ight; thanx much for the reminder, Ebb...greatly appreciated!

[@cellchow2339]

Talking about taking a knife to a gun fight. This game shows us that a real man will even bring a knife in a battle with a tank and WIN!

[@derrickmorris3672]

I feel cheated. I loved this game on the Sega Genesis and didn’t recall level 1 the lighting strikes, rain, or being able to use the Jeep! This game was awesome 👏 Happy nostalgia 🥹

[@doktorvga]

Man, you are sick :D Think you were the nightmare of game rooms :) I was a child when played this game a lot in an ice cream shop, one credit costed 10 HUF, (its around €0.026 now) it were also the cost of one scoop of ice cream. The machine then replaced with Contra after several months, then were Tiger Heli, Snow Bros and 1942 if i remember right... those were the times :)

[@JudgmentStorm]

Definitely better than the Mega Drive version. The arcade Thunder Fox has more content and better game speed. MD's port has a sluggish feel.

[@Rtype90mk2]

All i gotta say is thank god for the Taito Legend collections that include Thunder fox in all its arcade glory.

[@Religious_man]

"Thank you for your playing."

[@davidclementsclements2586]

This is much faster and better than the mega drive version

[@menartd2618]

0:05 They expect people to read that fast?

[@MammaApa]

To me it looks more like it uses the same mechanics as Ninja Warriors from two years earlier, it has the crouching walk and everything, although not the mega widescreen. That was also published by Taito. Namco made Rolling Thunder so I doubt this as a sequel, although a lot of games looked similar at the time. Shinobi, etc.

[@Rtype90mk2]

it can all be traced back to Irem's Arcade hit Kung Fu

[@Dimensiom]

You youngsters do not remember just how bad things were back in 199X. This game is a true historical retelling.

[@iwaseasymeat]

that ending music is pretty cool

[@obst7759]

Leave it to a couple of shirtless beef cakes with buzz cuts to save the world :)

[@KronnangDunn]

That's some pretty nice multilayered parallax scrolling....

[@darrenclements6028]

Arnold Schwarzenegger is Thunder Fox A soldier who is sent on a mission to destroy enemy rebel fighters And to destroy the enemy headquarters with devastating fire power With ABSOLUTELY AWESOME graphics and STUNNING gameplay The levels are 2Fast 2Furious with 2Player action Thunder Fox is a classic arcade game with a vengeance 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@Dorox97]

Thunder is the man with blonde hair Fox is the main with orange hair but thunder does remind me of Arnold

[@김세열-v3x]

[@daveincognito]

6:49 OK, so the airship is blowing up and there's a raging hulk-beast who's killed almost all of the crew heading in your direction. Don't you think at least one or two of the enemy soldiers would have thought, "You know, I'll take my chances with this air bike"? No presence of mind, I'm telling you.

[@SamPendleton]

They were all too busy having the exact same beards and hairstyles.

[@mr.marino9247]

1:23 they used same death scream in Operation Wolf.

[@nayyarrashid4661]

I vaguely remember this game from the arcade days.

a mis 6 años terminaba este juego con una ficha :) me sentía todo un dios porque se juntaban personas mucho mayores a observar como lo pasaba

[@osiris-bennu8166]

Mi juventud, 😢. My youth 😢.

[@magicplayer84]

Disabling a tank with a knife 😂😂 Surely a VC/MoH recipient

[@andrecastro1980]

This game would easily be an 80's action movie starring Stallone and Schwarzenegger as Thunder and Fox!

[@muhammadasadabbas5479]

My favourite game and one those game which i got addicted to play

[@DHaworth100]

Looking forward to playing this game.on my iircade.

[@dlfrsilver]

Anyone noticed in the end credits the mention to CZ-601 ? This refers to a Sharp X68000 :D !

[@PondnuttChannel]

Good SFX.

[@das81]

08:20 introducing Mathias Hues.

[@kullenberg]

We need this guy on the streets of america to clean up the streets

[@dluxx7283]

Stage 4:Pound the Enemy's mine. Engrish LOL Awesome gameplay

[@EightOne01]

WTF @ 5:20. LOL

[@stormcrow28]

Who knew a knife and hand grenades could destroy tank armor

[@benjaminmathias5004]

Oh the 90s. When you could destroy anything with a knife ... including a mbt. nobody cared!

[@Stonemantis2]

Some of the music sounds like contra

[@weslersantos7241]

Qual o emulador???

This is manly as fuck!

cool game

[@iciouailleurs1977]

great game

[@jezhy]

It's not the true ending. True one opens when you re-play the game and it's said about winning all the terrorism in the world.

[@boipelokgarikgosi1893]

it's like it was your first time but your a pro

[@deraifu]

There is a Rolling Thunder 2 and 3. (sega)

[@gracehoppe5792]

Who needs a weapon in a war ?? Just a knife, barehands, high kicks and a blue jeans to save the world... life is more simple in the 80's and 90's

[@allnamesaretakenful]

They really thought we'd have that kind of robots and tech 9 years or less from the time this game was released?

[@ZeeshanKhan-mg6oc]

Old Is Goold

[@1985dossantos]

It remembers Shinobi with war themes

[@lucasmr3215]

1985dossantos and Rolling thunder

[@1985dossantos]

I agree

[@Fargusno7930]

Don't forget Rush n' Attack

[@redbutterflyprincessgeanne4620]

9:50,omg he followed you!

[@PpJj78]

The most annoying oohs and aahs i have ever heard.

[@001avz]

this is like halo and just cause

[@Surfer041]

Rush N Attack meets P.O.W.

[@rubenming]

I leave worried about the final bosses weakness, they should go to the doctor for a medical check.

[@tomypower4898]

Yes console yes download yes update mind blown

[@РоманБорисенко-ю7ю]

Cool 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@Theshark15z]

The gameplay is similar to Rush N' Attack.

[@madTbonez]

skillz

[@dkparkie]

beat the game, totally worth it, love it, although that last boss took me a couple of tries I managed to beat him

[@Mekaneckpain]

More like Rush N Attack than Contra IMO.

[@Nelson_Win]

Probably much better than Rush and Attack.

[@FelipeLobo1982]

Wow adelantados a su época.... cómo sabían que a futuro las guerras tendrían drones que arrojarian bombas? Como en Ucrania 😮 Saludos.
