''Thunder Fox'' is an arcade game made by Creator/{{Taito}} for the arcade, released after ''VideoGame/TheNinjaWarriors'' with a similar gameplay format, but set in modern times.
The title refers to two tough-as-nails commandoes, "Thunder" and "Fox", leading an anti-terrorist unit, sent to infiltrate and dismantle a terrorist cell. An ass-kicking ensues.
Besides for the arcade, Taito released the game for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis as well, which is slightly easier than it's arcade counterpart. The amount of obstacles are reduced, with a longer LifeMeter granted to both Thunder and Fox. Some of the bosses are also swapped around for good measure.
