Gate of Thunder is an intense horizontal shooter by Red and
published by Hudson Soft. The player takes the role of Hawk, a
member of the police force and pilots the Hunting Dog, an
advanced interceptor fighter. His perilous missions will
take him through seven long and
intense stages. The ship uses three main
ungradable weapons that can be switched at anytime during
the game as necessary. The Wild Cat, a secondary
ship, appears from time to time during mission and
drops off precious new weaponry such as secondary
flying pods particularly handy to clean up the fighter's
tail. Gate of Thunder features an intense
metal soundtrack which certainly contributes to the
game's popularity among fans of the genre.

Gate of Thunder is a fast and mind-blowing shooter.
Stages are really well designed, the overall ambience is incredible and
the gameplay is flawless.
Graphics, and this is sort of Red's trademark, are highly detailed
and varied. The introduction sequence can be a bit cheesy though,
especially the terrible close up where Hawk takes off his glasses,
Good grief, this is above and beyond cheesiness...
Bosses are impressive too but their attack patterns could have
been much better I think... Gate Of Thunder is often compared to
Thunder Force 3 for the Sega's Megadrive, and they
obviously share a lot in common - but they are both different games
and my heart goes for Thunder Force... All in all, Gate Of Thunder
is pure adrenaline and I highly recommend it to any fan of the genre
salivating for more!
