TRIVIA
 
Thunder Fox was released in August 1990.

As odd as it may sound, this is one of the very few game that lets you use melee attacks with some firearms without actually firing a single shot, this allows you to use these only when you really need extra firepower! It is so strange that this idea is not used more often! :)
UPDATES
 
The US version is slightly different, it has the "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen.
