The next retro games coming to Steam are a pair of extremely 1990s run-and-gunners where Spanish Goku fights mutants
Thunder Hoop and its sequel sure are something.
In 1992, Spanish game developer Gaelco released Thunder Hoop, an arcade action game where a teenage hero battles mutant armies in a cityscape filled with sewers and underwater levels. The 1994 sequel, TH Strikes Back, features an adult hero who embraces modern fashion trends and engages in even more intense run-and-gun combat, including a brief Gradius-style scrolling shooter segment.
Gaelco's other 1990s obscurity, Thunder Hoop, is set to join its sequel in the Steam library on October 8. The collection will include modern quality-of-life features like save states, rewind functionality, and customizable screen filters that replicate CRT aesthetics. Thunder Hoop's sequel adds local co-op capabilities, while the original game's multiplayer mode requires alternating turns.
