Some time in 2009, a company named "Jitensyasougyou" ported the two Data East arcade games Road Blaster and Thunder Storm (Cobra Command in the west) to Microsoft Windows and the Sharp X68030, respectively. The game was released on DVD format and was the first Sharp X68000 game to be commercially released since Princess Maker (1996).
Information of this port is very scarce due to the fact that this version was only released in Japan, since no copies of this version were shipped outside Japan. Only the cover art and minor information for this port are only available. As of October 2012, sales of the Windows/Sharp X68030 port has been ended, making it harder to find.
Technical Information
Unlike the majority of games and software released on the X68000, which was released on the floppy disk format, this was one of the first pieces of X68000 software to be released on an optical disc format. Due to the game's large file size, thus the videos, of course, it was released on DVD format, making it perfect for this port.
