Thunder Brigade
1998 video game
Thunder Brigade is an action video game developed by Bluemoon Interactive and published by Interactive Magic and Midas Interactive Entertainment for Microsoft Windows in 1998–1999.
Production and release
Excluding time for engine development, Thunder Brigade was developed over the course of 1998. The game's design was supervised by Arnold Hendrick.
While the game released on time and met the requirements of its development agreement; due to an intense development process that required sacrificing gameplay testing in favour of '"ordinary" software design tasks' and financial difficulties within Interactive Magic, the game was considered to have "sold rather poorly" by Bluemoon Interactive.
Reception
The game received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.

Why this record matters
“Thunder Brigade” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Thunder, Brigade and video provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q104760275. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1998 and 1999.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
