Chris Butler on C64, bringing home the spirit of the arcade game if not its accuracy. I recall his port getting stick at the time for the wobbly graphics, but it was a step up from Space Harrier. Power Drift was his masterpiece though.
This is one of those videos where every console that's shown here have a great technical achievement, even the bad ones I admire every ports that was shown here despite the flaws, fantastic job from them!
I love how half these ports decide to stick buildings right in the middle of the road. Hate it when you're driving IRL and have to mount the pavement to clear a rogue office block 🏢
I'm getting PTSD watching this! 🤯 I saved up for AGES to get this game for the Spectrum when I was a kid and I've never played a worse / more solid game in my life! I'm certain the box even said "actual Spectrum graphics" when on reflection I was crazy to think they were and they were obviously the Amiga or something! Great video as always, thanks!
Hey Jamie, thanks the for this upload about thunder blade! Awesome stuff. I played this in the arcade at the age of 9 and my mind was blown and so was my coinage. I bought it immediately for my C64 and played it to death. Can’t remember if I thought it was cack or not but I just loved the game. Still play it today but on emulation. Great ranking.
Remember playing the sit down arcade version, swayed back and forth opposite of where you moved the controller. Good old days at Alladins Castle at the mall.
I remember the C64 version of Thunder Blade was actually really good. I was really surprised at the time. One of the few actually really good arcade conversions on the 64.
Chris Butler converted Thunder Blade for the C64 and he was one of the machine's most talented coders. It's clearly had a bit more TLC compared to the other micro conversions. I should really get the 3DS version, thanks for reminding me!
JustJamie1983 Another Video where I did indeed own a version and it was the Amstrad! Like you, I was never very good at the arcade version, but I could at least reach the first 3rd person stage... NOT ON THE AMSTRAD! But, I have to be honest, it was so slow... I quickly dropped it anyway and went to playing GAUNTLET which became my go to game for years!
I had this on my Spectrum, I don’t think I ever got through the first level. After watching this video I might go and load it up to see if the adult me can get any further
@JustJamie1983 I have the Commodore 64, SMS and PC Engine versions and all are playable to me. I was surprised with the C64 version being as good as it was for 8 bit. My favorite out of the 3 is the PC engine version. It replicates the arcade the closest out of the 3. So many tried to make super scaler games on such inferior hardware Some are pretty bad or don't even resemble the arcade. There was such a gap between home consoles and arcade machines back then as far as capability.
The Amiga version is the only game I ever tried to get a refund on, it was that frustrating. Unfortunately most stores had cottoned on to the fact people were buying games, copying and returning them, so they had a no refund policy.
I remember this from back in the day. The Amiga version (the version I had) looked okay, although it could have used some polishing. BUT the controls and difficulty level - did they even bother to play test it! Saying that, I remember the arcade original wasn't exactly easy either.
As I recall, the Amiga versi9on offered two control methods, one where the joystick also controlled the speed, which made the game unplayable, and one where you controlled the speed with the keyboard. While I was initially impressed with the graphics on that version, after seeing the C64 pull off the detailed layers like the arcade, the Amiga version was just lazy.
Was a huge fan of the arcade game. Think I already mentioned this but me and a mate decided one of us would get this and the other would get Afterburner for the speccy and I wound up with this. It got some decent reviews at the time but while it was an impressive achievement technically I was not a fan of how it played personally
Saw a tweet from Julian "Jaz" Rignal talking about how it's been 35 years since the successful launch of Rainbow Islands across the micros of the days. That's a game worth doing a compare on. The speccy version will surprise everyone.
saw this in the arcades.. was blown away.. read in mags it was coming to Amiga.. was blown away by screenshots in mags.. bought a copy.. looked amazing.. but like you couldnt tell what the hell was going on and gave up soon after, was just horrible to play.
Great arcade game with stunning graphics The home micro ports all done by tiertex and actually for them pretty good efforts Played the amiga version and had no issues with controls, guessing u on emulater Master system version for the hardware was impressive
loved this in the arcade as a kid. the local fair always had a delux cabinet but i could never get past the railshooting part of the desert. Had the C64 version and beat that though. Was it actually based on Blue Thunder though? Thought that was just an urban myth
Nice list and glad to see the PC engine taking 2nd placement here I never had it as it was a Japan only release but man NEC what were you thinking not bringing some of the good stuff to the US. Ugh such a sore topic with me I swear they must have thought the US was a disposal bin that paid money for trash or something because there are some real doozies in the library released here. Games like Gunboat, Falcon, Impossamole, JJ & Jeff, Tail Spin, Darkwing Duck, Moto Roader, Deep Blue, Andre Panza Kickboxing (or any sports game for that matter). Those games scared off potential gamers and tarnished the system's reputation beyond saving. I get every console has snoozer (bad) games but the TG-16 US library had a greater proportion of mediocre to bad games than its competitors. *Speaking from a US only perspective*
Loved this on the Mega Drive. Coming from the Amstrad where I completed very few games due to the difficulty of games on 8-bit computers to completing Altered Beast and then this, I thought my gaming skills were improving. Really though, games were easier on consoles.
You missed the Megadrive/Genesis version! It is known as Super Thunderblade though and considered a sequel. I don’t know where you got that C64 version of Thunderblade but it isn’t what was released in the UK & Europe. The version we got on C64 doesn’t have a green background. First stage is grey background and the chopper is blue like the arcade. It is also done by Tiertex. Edit : Just looking about and see that you got the U.S version from Gamebase 64 which is done by Mindscape and isn’t as good as the UK version. If you are doing Bionic Commando there is also a UK version and a terrible U.S version
Yes. Two versions of Bionic Commando. I am old school C64 and have a fairly good knowledge. Not sure how Thunder Blade slipped me by though to be honest. Have you seen my C64 videos? I have covered pretty much everything from modern hardware - new games. I have even done some videos of my times of publishing.
@@JustJamie1983 No I haven’t yet with the C64 vids. Catching up on the comparison vids lately. Up until May 2023 I had a huge C64 collection with around 2500 original games on tape, disc & cartridge as well as my original 1985 Dixons Breadbin (had the big red printed bow on the pack), C128, VIC 1540 that had been sorted back in the day to work on C64, C128 1570 disc drive, official boxed Commodore 1541-II, numerous C2N including a few Load Its and a few AR carts amongst loads of other stuff. Wife made me sell it all to get the roof repaired. Which ironically after spending it all from the sale on roof still isn’t fixed 😭 Now just have a C64 Maxi which essentially is as functional as a Breadbin with a SD2IEC
Something you may have noticed is the lack of Atari 8-bit conversions in these lists. That was a problem that Atari computer users had to deal with throughout the life of the machines. If Atari themselves didn't have the rights to a conversion, it didn't get done for the platform.
I remember trying to play the Megadrive Super Thunder Blade... I was never a fan of super-scaler ports, no machine before maybe the Saturn/PS1 era had enough grunt to do a decent job of smooth scaling, so you end up with that kind of wobbly and choppy fake scaling that almost always looks dreadful. I'd pay good money for an official super-scaler arcade machine/console that did all of them close to 100% with decent controls and configuration options.
The C64 version was very playable, but Thunderblade was never really a game that appealed to me. I remember seeing it in the arcade not long after having it on the C64 and felt underwhelmed. I don't know if it was because it was too hard or what.
i was wondering why the genesis version isn't there, but i think that it being SUPER THUNDER BLADE means it is a different version than the arcade version, and only learned that today.
Yes there was. After uploading. I was told there was two versions. One for the States and one for Europe. My usual source for gathering info was unreliable for this one.
As I recall I had moved onto the AtariST when this game came out. And Thunderblade was one of the games I had swapped with a pal of mine at the time - never got the game back. I wasnt a huge fan of it to be honest.
i was thinking, where is the megadrive version? but that's 'super' thunder blade (sound more like a title for the snes), still basically the same game 😄
never had this game, but still looks good, might play this :D Back in the day if it was a helicopter it was airwolf, same as if it was a man with a big gun it was automatically rambo, kung fu game, it was bruce lee :D Good list mate
@JustJamie1983 I'm into Helldivers ATM and somehow trying to get 240p working on my CRT...not an easy task.... Scalers, converters... It's a nightmare, if you've any experience with these please let me know, I'm using batocera on an old Lenovo with an Nvidia 720GT... It's a massive pain in the arse.
Just a quick query, why wasn't the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis port of Thunder Blade not included, was it due to the slight name change to Super Thunder Blade which disallowed it from your list?
whenever an x68000 port exists, game over for anything else :) tbh pcengine is ok, but the rest.... I hated the c64 version too back then, as bad as anything else :( ok, amiga is sliiiightly not terrible, I mean the looks.
Take care because the Amiga games you are running, probably from WHDload on faster CPU configuration, so, the games runs faster and some become unplayable. I suggest you run the game on Amiga 500 standard configuration, from emulated floppy for more real experience.
Do kind of think it's unfair to include the x68000 as virtually no one in the UK had one at the time (I'd not heard of it until the late 00s!) Whereas stuff like the PC engine was relatively common!
i did not know that all these years i thought I'd been playing a abstract port of thunderblade but it turns out it was the sequel lol but tell me please why didn't you count the 3ds port as i know next to nothing about that console or its games so I'm genuinely curious 🙂
@@JustJamie1983 The version on your video is the us version and it has different colours and music. The european version is by Chris Butler and published by US Gold and the us version just says Sega on the title screen.
Poor old 464, often the bottom of the pile … I had a CPC 464 and knew it was a bit rubbish but would never openly admit it 🤣 instead lived in perpetual hope that the software houses could pull a proverbial rabbit out of the hat

hoping he well do Power Drift sometime. one of the best racers on the C64
Absolutely loved the SMS version back in the day. Brilliant game.
sweet! after a long day at work, just sat down with a glass of wine and this dropped! perfect timing!
Enjoy!
Ha ha! I have done mate! Quality! Had an amstrad version of it back in the day, thought it was great...prob not so much now!😅

This is one of those videos where every console that's shown here have a great technical achievement, even the bad ones
I admire every ports that was shown here despite the flaws, fantastic job from them!
Absolutely agreed.
I loved this game when i played it in the arcade shwing my age.
I love how half these ports decide to stick buildings right in the middle of the road. Hate it when you're driving IRL and have to mount the pavement to clear a rogue office block 🏢
Exactly what I thought
I'm getting PTSD watching this! 🤯 I saved up for AGES to get this game for the Spectrum when I was a kid and I've never played a worse / more solid game in my life! I'm certain the box even said "actual Spectrum graphics" when on reflection I was crazy to think they were and they were obviously the Amiga or something! Great video as always, thanks!
My pleasure 😀
One of only 2 arcade games I ever completed with one credit/coin! The other was Shinobi 😳

Hey, thanks very much. Tonight's releasing at 8pm (UK).
@@JustJamie1983 i'll be there to watch from France 👍
@CoachMacFly wise choice 👌
Played the C64 version without seeing amy other versions including the arcade. It was fun.
This game is just pure fun on any system
I had a C128 and liked the C64 version of this game!
Alright, nobody likes a show off 😂
Personally i would have placed the C64 version 2nd, amazing conversion by Chris Butler. The version i remember had the music by Mark Tait.
Probably an unpopular opinion but I think it's superior to the SMS version
The Master System version was awesome, def played a lot of it. I was more fond of it than the Genesis or Arcade versions.
I remember being very impressed with the C64 demo at the time.
The pilot pic on the top right on the IBM conversion looks like he’s already been in a crash
Based on Blue Thunder, I must have missed those tanks firing on Murphy as he flew through the city. 😂
I do as my research tells me 😀

💯
I had this on my Spectrum, I don’t think I ever got through the first level. After watching this video I might go and load it up to see if the adult me can get any further
Iirc the Amiga version i had was best controlled by mouse for left and right and the ⬆️⬇️ keys for height. Once you got it it was pretty good 👍🏼
I always loved how this game looked. One of Segas super scalers. I always think this and Super Monaco gp are rarely covered.
Nobody is brave enough to go through with playing some of these lol

Great video. How about Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom next!!?
This game was so frustrating on the master system as it was so bloody difficult
Frustrating on most systems including the original lol
The Amiga version is the only game I ever tried to get a refund on, it was that frustrating. Unfortunately most stores had cottoned on to the fact people were buying games, copying and returning them, so they had a no refund policy.
I loved the heli arcade cabinet. Yea not as impressive as a 360-twisty afterburner cab, but it still kicked @ss
Loving your videos! I had this on my master system. Love it
Have you done a power drift video? (Off to check!)
I loved the C64 version and remember feeling quite satisfied when I finished it. A class port soooo much better than any of us were expecting
Another cool video, i always sucked at this game😮 its one of those games were you'll have to have one more go😅
I think by the seems of it many of us felt this way lol
Great video ! So many bad ports on the Amstrad !! MSX. --poor sound effects ! You are an excellent reviewer !!
Aww, thank very much 😊
Just like Outrun, G-Loc and Afterbunner, this is a play in MAME type of game
Thanks Jamie. I agree with your pick.
Thanks 😀
