A disgrace to a great game

Raiden was, is, my favourite arcade. If only I had read the comments... but I didin't and I purchase this... this... *************.

Awful technical realization

It's unforgivable to make so laggy main menu. I had to wait for dozens of seconds between menu screens. Bad port of a good game.

Great arcade shooters, good collection.

I only got introduced to the Raiden series recently, but it's easy to see why it's considered a classic: solid shoot 'em up action with plenty of challenge, a lot of variety in ships and powerups, music that gets you pumped and nicely detailed 2D graphics that hold up extremely well even now. The lack of extra's may be a bit disappointing, and at $10 it's not the cheapest classic SHMUP on GOG--but for fans of the genre, Raiden Legacy still offers a lot of bang for your buck.

Fighting Modern Inovations

I can appreciate the idea of providing the games in their original format, except when that format was based around squeezing quarters out of you. Having a finite number of continues is a convention that has absolutely no place in modern gaming; if you want to keep that in to test your skill, that's fine, but you should also have the option to turn that off. Besides that major drag, there are several issues with the menu setup, mainly: - the menu's 3-second music loop becomes grating almost immediately - the game itself is completely controlled with the keyboard, but you cannot navigate the menus without using the mouse, which gets annoying when you play for a while If I hadn't paid under $2 for this I probably would have wanted a refund...

If all else fails...

This is the method of last resort to play these games. The games themselves seem to be fine, but the menu system used to navigate them is a disaster. It is INCREDIBLY slow, with the transition from one menu to the next, least of all to the games, taking an outright absurd amount of time. It took me more than a full minute just to pause and turn off autofire. The games themselves, however, run fine when they finally start in my experience.
