Yay! I remember the Windows version of Raiden from a while back. One of my favorite top-down scrolling shooters. :)

Pretty nice little game, although a bit on the easy side once you have fully upgraded your main weapon (I prefer the purple laser and homing missiles).

This was also a reminder that I hate flash, though. The main thing that caused me to die was laggyness because of flash. A game this simple just shouldn't lag on a AMD64x2 4400+.

Almost makes me want to go back and play Raptor and SilkWorm (which was a FANTASTIC game, btw, background DMA floppy loading <3 - a thing the PC could never do).

Been playing this one for months, have beaten it already and am moving up in the levels still (beating it moves you up to a new difficulty level). It is kinda repetetive thou since the ships spawn in the EXACT same places and follow the exact same movement patterns.
