'''Rolling Thunder''' is a [[run and gun]] arcade game that was released by [[Namco]] in [[1986]] and licensed to Atari Games for US manufacture and distribution. It runs on Namco System 86 hardware.  
 
The player must take control of "Albatross", a secret agent who must save his female partner, "Leila Blitz", from the terrorist organization "Geldra". He has a life meter in the game, but can only take two physical hits from the enemies, as a single hit drains half of the meter. A hit from a bullet or other projectile will result in instant death.
