Me? I’m a absolute sucker for that wiggly purple laser beam. I’m not too good at this kind of games though I love watching experts playing them – Strikers 1945 II is my favourite arcade shoot-em-up of all time

Hmmm…. I’ll give it a shot…

Now, regarding power-ups, I always stuck with the red ones and the M missiles. After all it was the original first game I mastered… Gotta find the Lynx version methinks.

Yep, Raiden is one of the more distinctive shooters out there – the purple weapon power-up with the homing laser left a lasting impression on me the first time I saw it – can’t remember which game that was though.

Agree with you on RaidenX, i think the sparser background helps you keep an eye on the enemy. Try the harder difficulty settings, I heard that the defult one is pretty easy

Oh, how I absolutely love Raiden! It’s mu favourite shoot-’em-up you know and must have spent billions on pocket money illegally (I was underag you see) playing it in the arcades…

Raiden x is pretty nice too, though quite frankly a tad too easy.

Great post!
