A weather-themed brick breaker, pleasant without breaking new ground. A few unexpected bonuses, short stages, balanced difficulty. Good for brief sessions, forgotten beyond them.

Collector interest

Thunder & Lightning, an inverted brick-breaker published by Romstar in 1990, is a third-party title with no particular aura, released only in North America. Romstar remained a minor NES publisher whose narrow catalogue explains limited distribution and modest pricing, driven more by market scarcity than by underlying demand. Its collecting interest is confined to completing a run of lesser third-party publishers within the NES ecosystem.
