STORY
In New York City around the year 1960, the elusive Maboo is plotting to
conquer the world.
Rolling Thunder, the undercover arm of the WCPO (World Crime Police
Organisation) has sent the female secret agent Leila on a special assignment
into Geldro's underground headquarters. Her mission was to expose the treach-
erous conspiracy, but she was captured.
WCPO sends in the only man on the Rolling Thunder force who can possibly
rescue Leila. He is known only by his reputation and code name 'Albatross'.
Guns are blazing and the fighting begins.

GAME PLAY
You assume the role of 'Albatross' and your prime objective is to penetrate
and overthrow the secret organisation 'Geldra' controlled by the sinister
Maboo.
To achieve your objective you must pass through ten levels, jumping over
balconies and over obstructions in your path. Enter doors to hide from guards
at strategic moments. The guards that you encounter along the way will shoot,
punch and drop bombs on you, mercilessly draining your energy. You are armed
with a pistol and machine gun with which to defend yourself. By entering doors
marked with the bullet (pistol ammunition) or gun (machine guns ammunition)
symbol you can gain extra fire power.
Hazards you will encounter along the way include deadly automatic lasers and
storming fire men who inhabit the lava-pool.
If you manage to defeat Geldra's army and capture the command centre you
must confront Maboo in the final showdown.
You will be fighting against time whilst preserving your life.

GENERAL
Pressing UP will cause you to jump upward or enter doors. Pressing UP and FIRE
simultaneously will cause you to jump either up to or off a balcony or do a
high jump if not near a balcony.
