Thunder in Paradise (video game)
Encyclopedia
Thunder in Paradise is an interactive movie starring Terry "Hulk" Hogan, and Chris Lemmon
, released on the Philips CD-i. Being based on the TV series with the same title
, the game itself is a playable version of the series episode titled "The M.A.J.O.R. and the Minor".
The player control Thunder's powerful weapons to destroy as many threats to the boat as you can. This section of the game is somewhat like the arcade shooter "Paratrooper".
Very similar to other games like Mad Dog McCree
, in which you should shoot the baddies, before they shoot you.
It has the same feeling as "Island Encounter", but set in the laboratory. Nice thing about this bit is, the way it's played (from a 'good' or 'bad' point of view) depends on how you did in the previous encounter.
There are two ways to experience Thunder in Paradise:
"Interactive Television" lets you play the role of Zack in the show. Spence and Bru ask you for help, by playing three 'game encounters'. The better you perform in a game encounter, the more bonus you will carry forward to the next encounter.
"Game Only" allows you to choose one of the three 'game encounters'.
