Operation Thunderbolt (Japanese: オペレーションサンダーボルト) is a 1988 light gun shooter video game developed and published by Taito for arcades. As the sequel to Operation Wolf, changes include two-player gameplay with two positional gun controllers mounted on the arcade cabinet, and a new forward-scrolling pseudo-3D perspective combined with side-scrolling sections. The arcade game was a commercial success and was one of the top three highest-grossing dedicated arcade games of 1989 in both Japan and the United States. Versions were released for Amiga, Commodore 64, and Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The arcade-exclusive sequel Operation Wolf 3 was released in 1994.
