Core's Thunderstrike series...

Post by dave4shmups »

I've never played the Thunderstrike game for the Sega CD, but I am very interested in PS2 Thunderstrike: Operation Phoenix (hated Fireblade), and today I found out about PS1 Thunderstrike 2.

I think you should only play the one for the Sega CD, because that's the best of the series. ;)

Seriously? What was that wink for, then? :wink: I would really like to know what the other two games in the series are like.

Is Thunderstike some kind of sequel to Thunderhawk? I know there was a Thunderhawk game for the Sega CD

http://hol.abime.net/1394

This one I played a lot on Amiga, it was REALLY enjoyable. One of the few flight sims (if you can call it that) that I truly enjoyed.

Thunderstrike is what the game was called here in the US. Same game; just Sega CD, not Mega CD.

Well, then I can recommend the original one in the series :)

The amiga game was really a blast to play.

Thunderhawk 2 Firestorm on the PS1 and Saturn is pretty good, ace music but really poor draw distance. I have the Mega CD version too but I don't find that much fun at all.
