Operation Thunderbolt

Here's your chance to fly an F18 and shoot things. The game is called Operation Thunderbolt which I could have sworn had been used as a game title before.

Be careful you don't get a high score - you might get an automatic, non negotiable 6 month tour of Iraq as the game belongs to the Australian Air Force.

a) I never owned the coin op - I did own the speccy version.
b) my quick search threw that one up - I tried mame.dk but they seem to be no more. :(
c) it was for a throwaway line - give me a break!

Morning all!

Interesting Bungers coin op factoid : I completed the arcade version of Operation Wolf.

Morning chaps.
Another coin-op fact - I completed Moon Cresta.
Possibly the only game i have ever completed of any kind.

I can't remember you finishing the coin op. You must have had your arse fondled off Sid a few hundred times to achieve that!

I can remember you finishing the speccy version before me and gloating for several years as it was the 1st game you finished before me! :)

What do you mean "finished before me"
You never finished it.
It still is the only game i have ever finished (without cheating), i think!
I'm off out soon and i shall have a where in the world.... for you lot when i come in.

You really do have difficulty with English don't you? If you've finished something and I haven't then you have finished before me. I'm not dead yet - I could go back and play it in a bid to finish it but why bother as I've finished the coin op since then on Mame.

I've finished literally hundreds of games before you. Nyah Nyah.

Enjoying your moment of pride at finishing a single game 20 odd years years ago? Coming soon - ILN's walkthrough for Horace Goes Skiing. Probably. PARP!

Because that was my post-before-I-leave-the-house-on -my-way-to-work. Time is a little short.

And if the kids watching you finish DD spoke a bit spacky then you were in South Shields I reckon. Otherwise you were in Whitley Bay.

Aah coin ops. Opps I've found some food. Chuck Chuck.
