- In Arctic Thunder, up to 4 players can race across a snowmobile course littered with powerups and obstacles. The courses are done in an over-the-top style and several are (loosely) modeled after real-life locations, like Chernobyl and Washington, D.C. Players can acquire powerup items to harm other players and advance themselves.
Players have several characters to choose from with different stats that affect their attack, defense, and handling:
Dirty McCurdy a muscular, middle aged man with fair skin, a bushy dark brown mustache, and a bushy dark brown beard with grey accents. He wears sunglasses, a bright red skullcap, a light blue-grey shirt, a black biker`s vest brown pants, and black boots.
Mai Zhou Lin, she was chosen because of her exquisite martial arts and ability to perform incredible acrobatic stunts. Her race number is 3, and her snowmobile is "Jade Dragon".
Willie Quinn, he was on the Jamaican Bobsledder`s Team, which is why he was chosen by the ATRA. His sled is named "Wailer".
Ponzo. Little is known about this character. We currently know his nationality, species and also know that his sled is named "Banana Spliter".
His sled is dull/deep green and built from parts that once belonged to the spacecraft that took him to Earth.
Candy Ice is the daughter of the ATRA head, so she was automatically entered into the competition, beating her four same-aged sisters, who serve as her support crew. Her sled is named "Snow Kitten".
In every race you can grab power-ups to gain the advantage including the ability to throw snowballs / missiles at your opponents, but also shield protection, health recovery and speed boost. Players can also kick and punch people who are next to them, deping of the characters.
There are six point-to-point/open circuit tracks to race on including: Alaskan Pipeline, Chernobyl Meltdown, Blizzard in D.C., Haunted Forest, the Swiss Alps and a Lost Himalayan City.
If you reach first place in a course, you win a free race.

Man, this game was my childhood. I remember playing Arctic Thunder at Chuck E. Cheese's when I was a kid. My favorite track was Blizzard in D.C. I also remember my local Walmart used to have an Arctic Thunder arcade cabinet near the store entrance. I love playing this racing game numerous times. My favorite character for this game was Candy.
Same here! I played this wherever I could! And still do to this day! Candy and Blizzard in DC are a match made in heaven!
Totally
@@rogergreenberg1205 Totally so!
@@rogergreenberg1205 it was always funny to use the fat guy dirty
I had this as a actual disk game on the original xbox.
I remember this quite well. My parents used to take me to the arcades around us when I was little, and I'd play "Arctic Thunder" there.
So glad to see more clean arcade gameplays on youtube! Though you got the description from the wiki. I wrote half of that. I`m planning to make sequels to these games someday.
I remember playing it at splashdown Beach arcade a couple times. It was a fun game.
Fun indeed!
Mom! We can't leave yet, I got a free race!
good job about Arctic Thunder: The Video Game Arcade 2000
_Archive_ if u know u know
I remember this! When I was at the indoor rink, the seat was vibrating!
Yep, that`s what it does! Awesome, isn`t it? Who doesn`t remember this game?
I can literally feel this video and the cold air it blew in your face
Arctic Thunder is a fantasy snowmobile-racing game developed and published by Midway Games in December 2000 in USA for midway graphite hardware. It is a spin-off game to Hydro Thunder that plays like a mix of Cruis'n and a kart racer on ice.
The arcade cabinet has a full sit-down cabinet that resembled a snowmobile and was controlled with handlebars, it also jets blow cold or hot winds, depending on the setting, in the player's face during gameplay.
You got that description from Mobygames, didn`t you.
I remember this memory of the new arcade in Sambil Caracas. I played the arcade when i was a teenage boy. And even so, i played my PS2. Oh, i almost forgot. The new courses, new characters are here on the ultimate Arctic Thunder. The Arctic Thunder is the newest latest arcade game was released in 2000. And also, The Nintendo GameCube, XOBX & PS2 were released in 2001
AT didn`t get a gamecube port.
@@marcusruffner2674 Yeah! That's the spirit! The Gamecube and Xbox ports are released in 2001
@@oscarestivencarabalyherrer1279 The PS2 and Xbox ports were released in 2001. Gamecube never got one.
@@oscarestivencarabalyherrer1279 No, you dont understand. The arcade, ps2 and Xbox versions all came out in 2001. Gamecube never got a port of this game.
@@marcusruffner2674 I know! The arcade and two consoles are great
Holy Rubberbanding Batman.
At 2:38 you get THREE consecutive speed boosts -- despite this, racers without powerups effortlessly pass you in the most uncanncy motions Ive seen
Wow, never have I found out until now what happens when you’re the winner of the race!
I wasn't aware MAME emulation of the Midway 3DFX-based arcade boards had come so far.
A hydro thunder on the snow i never saw one single arcade machine anywhere at any locations i go during summer
That`s unfortunate. :( This game was plentiful where I live.
I played this in my childhood
What are you playing this on? I thought Arctic and Hydro Thunder could not be run in MAME still.
Any idea where I can find the ROM dump?
Console added more tracks and drivers
Só what company made this game? Is it Japanese?
Midway Games in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.
