Cabinet Information

There are at least two different cabinets available: a standard cabinet as pictured, and a deluxe cabinet with seat/controls/platform and monitor as separate units.

Cheats, Tricks and Bugs

Pressing the attack button while selecting rider allows you to mix and match the sled and rider of your choice. Pressing Start and Attack on the track select screen will toggle 'no drone' mode and a harder difficulty setting. All three apply for one race only.

Game Introduction

Pick from six snowmobile riders and six tracks to race on. During the race, the player can pick up power-ups, ranging from boosts to atomic snowballs.

Game Play

During the race, pick up power-ups to use against your opponets. The tracks have many shortcuts and free falls, just like in Hydro Thunder. Four cabinets can be linked up for head-to-head play.

Miscellaneous

This game is part of Midway's 'Thunder' series of racing games.

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Very Rare - There is one known instance of Arctic Thunder owned by one of our 900 members. It is an original dedicated machine (not another machine converted with a kit).

Of the 57,121 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 1 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - There is one VAPS member currently looking for Arctic Thunder.

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.
