'''''Thunderground''''' is an Atari 2600 video game developed by [[Sega Electronics]] and released by [[Sega]] in 1983. It appears to have been inspired mainly by one section of arcade game ''[[Borderline]]'' (1981), which resembles a cross between ''Combat'' and ''Dig Dug'' (though ''Borderline'' predates ''Dig Dug''), which sees a player drive a tank underground firing at other tanks while avoiding not to get hit. Your task is to tunnel upwards to destroy several nuclear missile bases before the time is up.

Thunderground is an Atari 2600 video game developed by Sega Electronics and released by Sega in 1983. It appears to have been inspired mainly by one section of arcade game Borderline (1981), which sees a player drive a tank underground firing at other tanks while avoiding not to get hit. Your task is to tunnel upwards to destroy several nuclear missile bases before the time is up.

Like the original Borderline, it has digging elements similar to Namco's Dig Dug, which the original Borderline predated by a year.
