Rolling Thunder 2 (ローリングサンダー２) is a run and gun game by Namco, originally released in 1990 for the arcade and ported to the Sega Mega Drive in 1991 (though Europe got a release in 1992). It is the second game in the Rolling Thunder trilogy (the first game was not released on a Sega platform; the third was released exclusively for the Mega Drive).

You play as either Leila or Albatross, two operatives of Interpol's (in-game) Rolling Thunder task force. jumps, shoots. Shots cannot be aimed and you cannot shoot while in midair, though you can crouch with to shoot low. If you are in front of a doorway, hold to go in and hide; releasing makes you come back out.
