Rolling Thunder (Amiga)

Rolling Thunder is an absolutely rubbish port, thanks to a low framerate, unresponsive controls, and a very repetitive music track.

Hidden Developer Credits#

Although no one is officially credited in-game, this string does appear in the game's floppy disk at 0xB84E.

It should also be noted that completing the game sends the player to a kill screen, where it instantly goes to a game over.

For whatever inexplicable reason, a good 17% of the disk is composed of much of the game's source code! It even includes parts of the Atari ST version's code, which is most visible with the sound player code.
