Thunder Blade DescriptionUsing the vibrating joystick, fly your chopper through different stages of combat. Over land, you fly through a city, canyon or industrial zone obliterating enemy choppers and tanks. Over water you destroy boats, ships or fighter planes. In the air, by bombing a rocket. Your mission is to destroy the evil machine. Control air speed with throttle. Easy play.Know anything more about this game? Cabinet InformationIn the sitdown version, the joystick doesn't vibrate. The player sits on a bright orange seat and the seat moves in sync with the non-motorized joystick (the player controls the movement of the seat). The monitor of the sitdown version is decorated with all sorts of dials and graphics to simulate the look of a real cockpit.VAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYCommon - There are 28 known instances of Thunder Blade owned by one of our 3,650 members who participate in our machine census project.

Wanted - There are 5 VAPS members currently looking for Thunder Blade. For Sale - There is one VAPS member with a Thunder Blade machine for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Thunder Blade Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Sega.
