1CCBBH - 401. Rolling Thunder (1 Credit Clear)
Rolling Thunder laid the groundwork that inspired a lot of similar horizontal run & guns with two levels of platforms, such as Shinobi, E-SWAT, and Surprise Attack. How does it hold up? Eh... I have a lot of issues with the controls in this game, ducking isn't instant, and of course you can't jump and shoot, which is a deliberate design decision. And the lifebar is almost an afterthought, as you lose half your life should you bump into anyone, and then usually die immediately afterwards because there is no grace period of invulnerability frames. The game does have kickin jams though! Anyway as much as I complained about this, and having many failed attempts, once I finally got this successful 1CC run... it was actually a 1 life run with no deaths. Go figure!

1CCBBH is my new stream project in which I'm attempting to clear as many arcade games as possible on 1 credit, without continues. I am currently going through a bunch of games I've cleared before, and eventually will be tackling some new games I hadn't gotten a 1CC on yet.
1CCBBH is streamed live every Monday at 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern / lordbbh
