I still have the CD-ROM PC version of this game. I also remember spending a ton of quarters on this when I used to go eat at a Shakey's Pizza in L.A. town. :( Good times.


If only the PC game would let me take screen shots.

Print Screen?

Yeah I could, but then I'd have to crop the image since it runs in a window.

I liked the arcade games, I always found them to be quite satisfying shooters.  The powers that be at Sony have yet to release the original on PSN in the west as it has in Japan, along with another awesome shooter I want, Einhander.

If you liked Raiden II then you'd love Raiden DX.  There's a nice wrireup of it here that I plan on using as the basis for the Raiden DX entry whenever I get around to working on it. I was fortunate enough to pick up the budget release on PS1 and love the hell out of it, especially since it's damned impossible to find in arcades anymore.

I'd look for a copy if I had a PlayStation or PS3. Looks like an enhanced Raiden II.
