The artstyle is so eclectic with so many different enemy types that it's interesting to watch. It does remind me of _Decap Attack_ . The player character has that over-the-top 90's try-hard cool vibe that was so common back then, but hey, this is an entertaining game. I can tell these guys are fans of _Contra_ and _Splatterhouse_ , the bosses like Korgan were genuinely disturbing to look at!
I agree. I get the impression it's some Japanese company tries to copy the looks of certain British Amiga games from back in the day, at least for the enemies (while the main character looks like an Akira Toriyama reject)
Manufactured in Barcelona (Spain) by Gaelco the game is Inspired in the anime Dragon Ball and her programation of the Toki, min 13:14 Bass enemy parody of Alien, the final boss is a parody of Vegeta of Dragon Ball anime 24:56 2 years later Gaelco manufactured Thunder Hoop Strikesback (Thunder Hoop 2)
I only found this after watching a longplay of the sequel. Jesus Christ, talk about an art and tone shift! This game looks like it was made using spare sprites from the Trolls video game on the Amiga, and the other one looked like some dark and gritty late-90's action title.
I played this as a kid around 1997 in one of my trips to spain. Toki simarity aside, been i was yet to discover dragon ball and the like (DBZ was still huge in spain and unedited by looks, and hadn't touched UK shores yet) i really liked this characters design and the artwork that transitioned between the stages, to say i died around at stage 2! I've tried emulating it a few times but it always locks up on stage 4.
MIN 11:55, min 11:56 The enemies is automatic death before the boss in the stages of the game 18:52 this type of death of enemies is not points for player

It has a very "Amiga-like" look and feel to it.

@@raakone Actually it's a company from Spain.
It has the same sort of aesthetic as Risky Woods; very anime-esque in its own Spanish sort of way.
I was thinking the exact same thing.

The second game has much better art.
26:20 To be continued in _TH (Thunder Hoop) Strikes Back_ ...
The sequel is so crazy
Yup, insane.

that first level boss turned into a "bloody" good time.
Watching this after TH strike back feels so weird
I would never have guessed that this was from a Spanish video game studio.

I remember playing this on arcade. Not as easy as it seems.
Yes it's more like a home game that you can take your time.
Looks like Toki.
Quite a few people commented on the similarity with Toki, something I completely missed - good shout
This is one of those weird arcade games that seems like it would have been released on the Amiga or something and not in the arcade.
C'era anche in sala giochi, parecchi anni fa 😊
Excellent! Sounds Good 🔝👍
At first I used to think that this game was a Toki sequel due to the similarities with the gameplay.
the spanish dudes really made an 8/10 game! I love the sequel as well....the music is great too!
This game looks cool, run and gun platformer like megaman
0:45 start
This seems like a clone of Toki with a very strange, but very 90's artstyle.
It's like a mix between Toki and Bio Menace.
I believe that there are some assets from Super Castlevania. The brown cave interior ones
Clearly inspired in Toki.
Mega Man meets Dragon Ball?
Would you possibly be able to take on the Amiga game “Virocop”?
I'm so confused how this game goes from cartoony violence to bloody gore/visera, and back again as if nothing happen on the same screen. lol
Kid Goku 😃
MIN 11:55, min 11:56 The enemies is automatic death before the boss in the stages of the game
18:52
this type of death of enemies is not points for player
Notice the v a p o r w a v e imitations of themes from Beverly Hills Cop, The Good The Bad and the Ugly, etc. barely audible below the too loud sfx
great game
i didn't know Ken from Street FIghter was in this game 25:22
Spanish game ❤
Man....this game is bizarrrrrr......
Second is much more than this one.
TOKI + DRAGON BALL Z = THUNDER HOOP
So I just saw a blue googly eyed monster that can shoot pellets out of its crotch or butt....
I think that's enough old video games for today....
Yeah it's made in amiga
The English on those plot snippets is nightmarish.

Alarm 24:49
Ehy but this is Toki!
Pretty cool game but the death sound... why does the protagonist sound like he was getting raped with a welding machine,
B.O.B
Gotta be honest, this game is really bad
terrible
