Give Raiden the justice it deserves
I love the Raiden series, but this port is embarrassing.

Superb
I've never played this series before, but took a punt and I absolutely love them - just a fantastic package. Well balanced and with a difficulty pitched about right for the casual player as well as the more hardcore. Graphically it's full of lovely details, reminding me a lot of the Bitmap Brothers work in particular. Good pumping soundtracks too. A little work needs doing on the UI outside of the games themselves - particularly making them more gamepad accessible and making restarts easier. Hopefully in a future update. Don't miss this one.

Pure Arcade Awesomeness
The Raiden series is one of the iconic shumps of the 90s: Fast gameplay, never ending action and one of the must pushing soundtracks, excellent fitting the on-screen bullet-hell. Everyone that loves shumps must play this game! It remembers me of my own time in arcades an - and this time was awesome! Thank you GOG for this wonderful set of breathtaking action. I can feel my instincts again! PS: Sadly, there is no Raiden 2 in this compilation. :-(

Awww yeah!!!!
I always had great fun when I came across these game in the arcades back in the 'olden days.' The soundtracks for them are all well done and really capture the games pace and feel. Playing Raiden 1 especially with friends (Co-op) was an awesome experience! I'm so happy to see this collection on GOG and now I can re-kindle playing these game properly with my son.

Game Crashes!
I have this game Crash several times, I have a decent system and the game just is unplayable on my system. I simply can't recommend this product at all.
