Superb show and this game is a good effort and fun to play - shame one of those rubbish oasis brothers is on the front cover as the butler

FAB indeed! A really spiffy adventure game which inexplicably seemed to slip under the radar of most C64 owners. It was split over 4 distinct missions (with each mission being a single load) wherein you took control of two International Rescue members, with the aim being to collect & use various objects to avert disaster and save the day. The graphics and various locales are quite nice with a really nifty rendition of the theme song playing in the background to keep proceedings enjoyable. As an added bonus, the original game box came with some stickers, a poster, and a cassette tape containing the Thunderbirds theme so you could blast it on your stereo!

Good game. Divided into four different mission where the player has to face different types of riddles. C64 version is a bit cut-down in terms of presentation (intro and so on) but it plays really nice. The graphics could have been a little bit better because I have a feeling of screens being overcrammed.

Nice game. Gerry Anderson created the Thunderbirds TV series. I seriously doubt he coded this :lol:

A very nice adventure. Not too easy, not too hard. It can keep you for a while, until you complete all the four episodes. The difficulty curve is quite smart. Every time you unerstand something more, so that you can perform some new steps at each play.

A good game in 4 parts. The graphics are good, the sound is OK and the game-play works fully. Pretty OK RIFFS crack also...

It's an OK game to play.

Check out the inspiration for the game, the TV series, on TechTV in the United States.
