*Note*
It appears from the official web page for Thunder and Lightning that development has all but stopped. He has updated a working version for Mac OS, but it seems windows and Linux version may be lacking or older versions!
Please be aware if you are trying this one out. (we haven’t!)
Of course, the source is available so if you are keen you could try getting or keeping it going
Apart from flight simulators, Thunder & Lightning takes inspiration from (but is not a clone or remake of) the 80’s classic Carrier Command. This means that you will find yourself in control of a futuristic carrier with aircraft and amphibious tanks at your disposal. In the long run, there will be multiple Islands to conquer, each with its own defence strategy.
Although Thunder&Lightning already supports missions, it aims to be an open-ended game with a dynamically developing world with scripted events on some occasions.
