Hydro Thunder is a high speed boat racing game made by Midway Games Inc.

The Bombsquad (our little cadre) discovered this game while wasting a lunch hour. And now, it's hit the PLAYSTATION. Though losing some quality in graphics, the team at BLUE SHIFT did an excellent job keeping the playability. It is an excellent version! Among my top PSX games.

Hydro Thunder has led us to other interesting diversions:

The Unofficial Hydro Thunder Board Game (waaaHayyyyy unofficial)
Oddly enough, we can't make it to the arcade every lunch hour (there's that whole food thing). And, leaning toward the creative/destructive side of things that we do (see GingerBlast '99), we came up with our own board game based on Hydro Thunder. We translated the maps and created some original ones. I built the ships (shown below) using modeling plastic. Each boat has its own unique advantage, and some maps have their own quirks. It's a dice based racing game that gives us the feel of the arcade. See the Rules HERE.

Another view Tidal Blade, Nessie, and Whirlwind (whose fan blade actually spins, thank you very much.)
And this is The BombSquad boat, a cross between our three favorite boats: Tidal Blade, Rad Hazard, and Banshee.
