Firestorm: Thunderhawk 2

Firestorm: Thunderhawk 2 is a combat flight simulation game developed and published by Core Design, serving as the sequel to Thunderhawk AH-73M and known as Thunderstrike 2 in North America. The title was released across PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and MS-DOS, placing players in command of a military helicopter through a series of combat missions.

This is the Ricochet budget re-release covering the UK and France, carrying serial SLES-00145#. It is housed in a Full Jewel PAL case containing a single disc, with a hologram on the case. English and French are the supported languages. As noted in research, this is the Ricochet version without a “Value Series” band on the front cover, which distinguishes it physically from the otherwise similar Value Series Ricochet edition sharing the same EAN barcode. No loose paperwork, case stickers, or bundled demo discs are present. Twelve PAL variants of Firestorm: Thunderhawk 2 are catalogued in total, and this cover detail is a key differentiator for collectors.
