Pilot a heavily armed combat motorcycle deep behind enemy lines in Thundercade, a high-octane vertical scrolling shooter released for the NES in 1989. Developed by SETA Corporation, this port of the arcade original challenges you to blast through waves of military forces, tanks, and fortified bases. You’ll need to rely on rapid reflexes, screen-clearing bomber strikes, and a steady stream of weapon upgrades to survive the intense action.
How to Play
Navigate your motorcycle through enemy territory, destroying targets while avoiding incoming fire and environmental hazards.
- Movement: Arrow Keys (D-pad)
- Fire Weapon: Z Key (B Button)
- Deploy Bomb: X Key (A Button)
- Start/Pause: Enter
- Select: Shift
Tips for Survival
- Destroy Everything: Shoot buildings, bushes, and obstacles to uncover hidden power-ups and sidecars that drastically increase your firepower.
- Manage Your Sidecars: You can attach sidecars to the left or right of your bike depending on which side you touch them from. Upgrading to the powerful Vulcan cannon provides a massive advantage, but you’ll lose it if you take a hit.
- Use Bombs Liberally: Don’t hoard your bomber strikes. Use them to instantly clear the screen of enemy bullets when you are cornered or overwhelmed.
