    Thunder & Lightning (video game)

    Thunder & Lightning, later released as Family Block (ファミリーブロック Famirī Burokku) in Japan, is a breakout clone released for video arcades in 1990. It features Mr. Chin from Mr. Chin's Gourmet Paradise as the player's character.

    A port was released by Romstar for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Despite sharing the same name, the Arcade and NES versions have different levels, with the former having a plot where Mr. Chin must rescue his girlfriend from the Thunder Warrior, a gobin-esque monster with several minions that create the 25 levels the player plays through. The NES version on the other hand has 30 levels, no bosses, and a completely different Thunder Warrior resembling an oni that appears in several levels.

    A sequel to the game was later released, Thunder & Lightning 2 (Block Carnival in Japan), though it ignores the continuity from the first game, having completely different characters and themes.

    Thunder & Lightning

    by: Alphaville

    I was walking in the rain
    When the angel of my intuition whispered hello
    And then I turned around there was you
    Well, I was quite surprised to face that kind of incarnation
    Love is always unexpected, love strikes blind and undirected
    An it's amazing how my life became the wildest game of all
    I never knew without your love
    And since I fell for you I fail to brave the heavy weather
    Raging round the axis of my heart
    And I don't, I don't need to..
    Whenever I see you I want thunder and lightning
    Whenever I touch you I feel thunder and lightning
    Whenever I hold you I feel better than the time before
    That's what I want, thunder and lightning for evermore
    There were times when I was down
    There were times when all my hopes had faded
    My whole life just seemed to be a senseless quest for energy
    But love is the answer, love is all we need my friend
    Now you came & changed the weather
    Now I wanna live forever
    Yes I admit I'm playin' with powers that I can't control
    But I tell you, I will do the best I can
    We're on a crash course plane that's heading down to paradise
    And that is the intention of the plan and I don't need no heaven
    What do you want? you know it! what do you want then?
    I tell you what I want! I tell you what I need!!
    I don't need no heaven!!!
