"Thunderbolt Operations Game Review" is the Thunderbolt Operations guide compiled by the editor for everyone. Many friends still have questions about the Thunderbolt Operations game evaluation. Let's take a look.
The famous light weapon shooting game "Operation Thunderbolt" (also translated as Operation Lightning, Uzi 2) launched by TAITO, a veteran arcade manufacturer, in 1988 was once very popular in the 1990s, and the game was available in street halls in many cities. The oversized two-player luxury machine and the highly simulated Wuzi light weapon will attract the attention of many players and create a new gaming craze wherever they are placed. It can be called a classic of the light weapon game (the more famous one in the same period) There are also Operation Wolf, Beach Landing, and a game from SEGA that I have forgotten the name of, etc.).
The background of this game is roughly that in the 1980s, a Boeing 747 carrying American diplomats and their families was suddenly hijacked by an extremist terrorist organization during the flight and was forcibly diverted to a small Middle Eastern country in an attempt to blackmail the American government and realize its evil ambitions. Wait (a cliche Hollywood movie plot), of course the old Americans are not easy to mess with, so they immediately sent the special forces Green Berets to the rescue, destroying the terrorist lair and killing them all in one fell swoop. But having said that, although the plot is old-fashioned (every level of the game is explained with a plot, it really resembles a certain movie), the excitement and tension of the game are outstanding. First of all, because it is a game, it will not be like that. Instead of sneaking in like SNAKE, he adopts the tough guy mode of charging all the way, killing those who stand in his way, breaking through the siege in the rain of weapons and bullets, killing people and ghosts (even the occasional small animals) (Devil Commander? ? ?) Naturally, you can’t die with just one weapon like Contra, so the blood grid is set to prevent our protagonist from dying so easily. The player’s standard weapon is a Uzi charge. Weapons, some ammunition, plus the M203 grenade launcher, and the rest is nothing (there are no heavy weapons for such a difficult task, at least there must be an M4. Think about how the police in CS later beat a few bandits. He actually uses the M249, what a shame... ). Airborne supply boxes are constantly falling in the game, and you can get various ammunition and auxiliary items by hitting them.
The game is divided into 8 levels, from the initial border breakthrough to the final passenger plane battle with the BOSS, it is exciting all the way. What you have to deal with is not only the terrorists holding AK47, but also their backstage boss-a certain Middle Eastern military power. Well-trained regular troops, these birdmen often go out en masse, using machine weapons and grenades to explode into pieces. At the end, they hit the screen full of iron lumps and flying knives all over the sky. It really bothered me. There is a guy wearing a body armor and holding a heavy machine weapon who also comes to show off. Damn it, do you think you are Rambo? I'll just use you to practice headshots. What’s more, that shameless Soviet instructor fired a series of rockets all over the place. Do you think he was attacking German tanks? ? How can I live this life? (I was about to remove the Vulcan cannon from the destroyed Mi-24 to deal with this birdman, but I looked at my backpack and forgot to bring the wrench. My day, in a rage, I am invincible, infinite weapons, infinite mine CHT is fully opened. , tit for tat, and the whole world became clean.) In the game, players have to deal with many combat weapons that were very advanced at the time, such as Mi-24 helicopters, MIG-21 fighters, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, etc. (especially those The Mi-24 Hind helicopter attacked instantly, launching four missiles in a row. If you react slowly, you will be hit. The damage will be more than N) at one time. It is very powerful. Fortunately, it does not require a fight. It can be solved with one grenade. Finally, it is over. After narrowly escaping death, the brave warrior arrived on the Boeing 747. After a fierce battle, he arrived in front of the cockpit. Finally, the leader of the terrorist organization appeared. The boy used the organic hair in his hand as a shield, and a hairy monkey jumping up and down. Kung Fu, refusing to disarm, resolutely resisting, refusing to be lenient, there was no choice but to have another fierce battle (be careful not to hurt the captain, otherwise the game will be game over), and finally the BOSS (bin bin Laden's father) was killed by a righteous player, and the plane was fully loaded The rescued hostages flew back to their homeland, where jubilant crowds were waiting for the heroes' triumphant return. MISSIONCOMPLETE. . . . .
In general, "Operation Thunderbolt" is a very classic light weapon shooting game (other such games of the same period are simply unmatched). The game's sound effects are first-rate, and the picture quality is completely different from the previous game "Operation Wild Wolf". This shows TAITO's first-class production capabilities and its operability is very good. The various large-scale weapons that appear are very realistic and the battle scenes are very fiery and spectacular. MAME's simulation is also very perfect. If you use light weapons to connect, you can completely recreate the arcade at home. It is an authentic, exciting and refreshing scene, and more importantly, it can open the door to our long-lost hearts and return to the dream era where arcades accompanied us when we grew up, and were once full of happiness and sorrow. . . .
PS: some thoughts
1: There is no concept of defense in the light weapon game, so as long as the enemy fires, it will inevitably cause damage to the player. Therefore, we must strictly follow the effective rule of "active offense is defense" and try to kill the enemy before they take any action. Only by destroying it can we effectively preserve ourselves. .
2: There is a small amount of airborne supplies at the beginning of each level. You must obtain them in time. Among them may be an infrared sight and a bulletproof vest. The former improves shooting accuracy and the latter can halve the damage suffered. You must obtain them. In addition, the supplies in this game are also available. The setting is very considerate. The supplies that appear in the game are not static but depend on the needs of the player at the time. For example, when the physical strength is low, there is a high chance of a wine bottle (partial recovery) or a first aid kit (full recovery). .
3: There are a certain number of hostages waiting for you to rescue in levels 4 and 6 of the game (although you can pass the level without rescuing). If you rescue them and escort them safely out of the screen, you will gain physical strength, but if you accidentally kill them, you will be deducted double. Double the physical strength, and these birdmen are often surrounded by many enemies. It’s really troublesome to fight even if I don’t fight. Therefore, players need to have superb burst shooting skills and accurate judgment here. If they really don’t have the ability, Just don't open the wooden door where they are imprisoned and let them out to harm others. . .
4: In some scenes, there will be small animals such as cats and dogs passing by quickly. You don’t have to worry about the reputation of abusing small animals. If you hit them, you can get ammunition as a reward (after all, when you run out of ammunition, human life still takes precedence). . .
5: This game adopts an automatic reloading system instead of the more popular off-screen reloading system. There will be a 1 second delay when the bullets are automatically reloaded. At this time, if a large number of enemies appear, it will make the player look good, so this point To attract attention. . . .
6: When being attacked by a large number of enemies, do not hesitate to launch grenades (drop treasures) to break the deadlock. After all, this is the most powerful weapon in the entire game. Except for BOSS, any enemy will be killed in one hit (including large weapons), otherwise you will die. There is no guarantee. When you encounter MI-24, you should take action first. Don't go to the King of Hell with a bunch of grenades because you are reluctant to let go of the treasure. . .
7: This game has also been transplanted on SFC. The graphics are acceptable and there are more original contents. You can choose different characters to use different weapons to play the game. However, the most important thing about the game is operability, speed and refreshing feeling. . . Friends who like it can download and try it by themselves. . . .
