Description This game is the sequel to Operation Wolf. Roy Adams and Hardy Jones, two green berets, must save American hostages from a hijacked airliner which was forced to land in the fictional African province, Kalubya. To do this, they must capture six different bases, shoot enemies such as soldiers, jeeps, tanks, and helicopters using your machine gun or grenade launcher, and try to save the hostages along the way. The enemies fire at you with bullets, grenades, or rockets, which must try to avoid. Once capturing the bases and achieving all objectives, the game will restart from the beginning and the difficulty will increase. Ports Operation Thunderbolt was ported to the following platforms: External links Operation Thunderbolt was also one of the names used to refer to the Israeli Defense Forces' 1976 hostage rescue mission at Entebbe, and also to a feature film dramatizing the same event. The game is arguably a very Loose adapation of the raid at Entebbe(The N.African in the game is in the exact same place Libya is in real life, and both invovled hijacked airliners, hostages and a commando raid).
