About

Raiden is a vertical-scrolling arcade shooter where you pilot a fighter jet through eight stages of enemy waves. You'll face robots, ground installations, and aircraft while managing two weapon types: bombs for wide-area destruction and missiles for focused strikes. Collectible medals boost your score. When your ship gets destroyed, its debris becomes projectiles that can still hit enemies—an unusual risk-reward wrinkle. Clear the Stage 8 boss and you earn a million points, then the game loops back to Stage 1 with faster, more aggressive foes. Each loop ramps up the pressure. Success hinges on dodging patterns and knowing when to spend your bombs. If you chase high scores and don't mind repetition with escalating stakes, this delivers that coin-op intensity.
