Operation Wolf was HUGELY popular in arcades. Pretty much every arcade I went to back then had one, and there was even a version on the NES, which is pretty amazing since there weren't too many light gun games on the NES. Operation Thunderbolt wasn't as common in arcades, but I still saw it lots of places.
The next game in the series was just called Operation Wolf 3. I only saw it once in an arcade, and that was only a couple of years ago! The last game in the series was called Operation Tiger but I've never seen it.
Did you know that Operation Wolf made a cameo in a recent movie? I saw it in a mall arcade scene in Wonder Woman 84! When I saw it I was like, "Wait a minute, if this movie is set in 1984, what's an arcade game from 1987 doing here?" That's why the movie bombed (OK not really). Only other things I have to say about the WW84 movie is that it was way too slow for a two hour long movie, and Gal Gadot ate her spinach.
