Rolling Thunder - arcade magic on the MiSTer FPGA from JOTEGO in this classic game
7Step into the trench coat of secret agent Albatross and experience Rolling Thunder like never before — on the MiSTer FPGA thanks to the incredible JOTEGO core! Whether you're hunting down ninjas in pastel ski masks or dodging bullets behind crates, this classic Namco arcade gem is firing on all cylinders.
In this video, we take a deep dive into Rolling Thunder, the 1986 side-scrolling run-and-gun that oozes style, color, and those satisfying arcade vibes. But this isn’t just a nostalgia trip — it’s arcade-perfect emulation on the MiSTer FPGA, where lag-free controls, crisp visuals, and authentic gameplay bring the coin-op magic home.
Expect some gameplay, some insights, and a few jokes (probably at the expense of those yellow trench coats). We’ll also give a nod to JOTEGO, the core dev legend keeping arcade history alive, one masterpiece at a time.
Whether you played this in a smoky arcade back in the day or you're discovering it for the first time, Rolling Thunder is one of those games that reminds you why arcade classics never die — they just get ported to MiSTer.
🎮 Join the ride, shoot some hooded weirdos, and enjoy the sound of those iconic bleeps and bloops.
