From Nintendo's Virtual Console page:

The legendary sci-fi shooter is back! Gate of Thunder is a horizontal        side-scrolling shooter that places you in control of special undercover        agent Hawk, whose mission is to stop the deadly army of Obbellon        fighters. Jump into the action as Hawk gets aboard his ship, the Hunting        Dog, and heads out toward the enemy. Blast through stages while        effectively using all three of the weapons at your disposal and        receiving support from ally Wild Cat ships. Switch through equippable        power-up options on the fly to change the direction of your attack.        You'll have to blast in front of and behind you to survive all seven        stages. Hard-core shooting-game fans looking for a challenge can select        HARD or DEVIL mode to experience even more intense action!
