Gate of Thunder


Gate of Thunder is awesome. Where do I start? It's a horizontal shooter! I bet you've played some of those, maybe, but not like this one, ever... this could be the most intense horizontal shooter ever, for the TurboDuo (contrary to popular belief, the TurboDuo was out BEFORE Sega's CD system. Psha!)!
Ok, so Gate of Thunder is fast. Like, intensity, multiplied. You couldn't get this sort of speed on a cartridge... not even on a chip!! They should have called this Blazing Gates of Lazers, because it's big-time fast. My partner Tony lost his loafers playing this!
The weapon system is revolutionary! You collect your weapons but you don't lose them... you don't go from one to the other, so the intenseness is right there from the beginning. You get to select them at any time, and they can be used to infinity! Now, there are also option things, too, and these shoot the weapon you shoot as well, and this triples your fire! You've got this laser... it's like, you see enemies, and you're all, ''ZARK!'' and they're all, ''no thanks,'' and that's all she wrote. And this game maybe works in threes, because there are three weapons you can get!
They give you other stuff to get, too. Like shields, natch! Ok, so you fly around the beautiful CD levels, and you'll know they're going to keep you on the edge of your seet. The enemies come out non-stop. Levels are all sorts of sceneries, like there's one that's cavernous... very earthy! That definitely brings out the arcade feel!. There's also a level over a future city and one over some ground. The thing is, though, it's all about the bosses!
There's this one boss, he's like a robot, like ED209 from Robocop... he goes down pretty easy though, like a stupid Feka goon would. Plus, he's nothing compared to this other robot, who is like a floating tank, and he is symmetrical. He shoots cool lasers, and you have to dodge them. There's LOTS of dodging in Gate of Thunder. That's the Duo for you!
Ok, you haven't heard songs like this. This music is ultimate, a real amazer. It's on a CD, and it's full of all sorts of wailing guitars and badical tunes. This thing kicks butt! It stomps butt! It does all sorts of stuff with the butt. Anyway, it has to be called Gate of Thunder just from the thunder of the music! It's cool to fly around and hear guitars, man, they push you like nitrus!
So, anyway, I hope you didn't by into all that Sega propaganda with their CD system. THE TURBODUO CAME OUT FIRST! Don't get me started on Sherlock Holmes. Anyway, Gate of Thunder is great, it's a fast shooter with fast music and it just feels like an arcade game.
