Thunderbirds – Kokusai Kyuujotai Shutsudou seyo! (translated as International Rescue, Move Out!) is a sci-fi action game released for the Super Famicom (SNES) in 1993 by Cobra Team. Based on the classic British television series, the game puts players in command of the iconic International Rescue fleet. You pilot different craftโsuch as Thunderbirds 1, 2, and 4โthrough various side-scrolling and vertically scrolling shooter stages to respond to global emergencies and thwart the schemes of the villainous Hood.
How to play
The objective shifts depending on the mission and which Thunderbird vehicle you are piloting, though gameplay largely focuses on shoot 'em up mechanics where you must navigate hazards, destroy obstacles, and reach the rescue zone. For the SNES controls, use the D-pad to steer your craft. Press the A and B buttons to fire your primary weapons and deploy vehicle-specific tools. Start pauses the game. (In your browser emulator, these are mapped to the arrow keys for movement, Z and X for your action buttons, and Enter for Start).
