Relive the stylish, spy-action soundtrack of Namco's 1986 arcade classic Rolling Thunder (distributed in North America by Atari Games)!
Designed by Yoshihiro Kishimoto, Rolling Thunder set the standard for tactical side-scrolling action games. Players took on the role of secret agent Albatross, infiltrating the secret underground hideout of the terrorist organization Geldra to rescue missing agent Leila Blitz.
The tense, jazzy soundtrack was composed by Junko Ozawa (Zunko), utilizing Namco's C140 custom audio chip and YM2151 synthesizer hardware. Tracks like the iconic Main Theme perfectly captured the suspense of hiding behind doors, managing limited ammo, and taking down Geldra mutants.
