Contents OverviewThe arcade version of Hydro Thunder utilizes the same basic cabinet as Hyperdrive and also has the same cabinet seat as San Fransisco Rush and the later Offroad Thunder, and has the same steering wheel on the control panel as Cruis'n USA minus the standard foot pedals and adding a variable position throttle with forward, neutral and reverse directions. The game also has an unusual volume adjustment, where the regular play volume is usually set lower than the feedback volume for the subwoofer in the seat.

This places the player 'in the game' and makes the person feel like he or she is actually piloting a powerful, high-tech speedboat.Besides the arcade, Hydro Thunder has been ported over to the Sony PlayStation, Sega Dreamcast, and Nintendo 64. The Dreamcast version of the game was also included in Midway Arcade Treasures 3, a compilation of Midway's many arcade racing games.
