Official description
Get ready to take part in the greatest helicopter battle of the century with THUNDER BLADE, the Sega arcade hit! You're the Gunship Gladiator. You fly the Thunder Blade chopper. Some say you're unstoppable. This mission will put you to the test! The enemy has invaded your country. That makes you mad. So you're going to stop them... all by yourself! In cities... over deserts and oceans... in caves and through refineries... you're cutting loose with your cannons and dropping air-to-surface missiles from your skids. They've got tanks, airpower and incredible super fortresses. But you have guts, a taste for glory... and the meanest fightin' copter in the sky!

Aboard the lethal Gunship Gladiator helicopter, it is your job to ensure that a coup fails to install a dictator as leader.
The game features 12 levels split into three distinct styles. First of all you'll be flying over a city in your helicopter, shooting out tanks by ducking low enough to target them, but also climbing to avoid the skyscrapers in the area. The third section is viewed similarly, but sees you attempting to wipe out the planes mounted on an aircraft carrier.
The second section is viewed behind your helicopter in full 3D, and adds helicopters and planes to be shot, with dodging their bullets as you duck down to shoot the tanks being the main challenge.
