TH Strikes Back (non North America, version 1.0, checksum 020EB356)

Gaelco’s TH Strikes Back, released in 1994, is a cooperative platform and shooter game designed for two players. Players assume the roles of powerful characters with ESP abilities, using sonic rays emitted from their hands to combat waves of mutated adversaries. The gameplay involves navigating scrolling environments while targeting enemies and managing resources—a direct continuation of the earlier Thunder Hoop title. Utilizing a Motorola 68000 processor for its core functions and an OKI6295 sound chip, TH Strikes Back provides a fast-paced experience controlled through eight-way joysticks and three action buttons per player. Cooperative play is central to the game's design, requiring teamwork to overcome increasingly difficult challenges within the presented levels. This sequel builds upon its predecessor’s foundation with enhanced visuals and refined gameplay mechanics, offering a fresh take on the established formula.
