Classic coin-op excitement!

Raiden Legacy, a collection of four classic arcade vertical shoot 'em ups with pixel graphics and swarms of foes, is available 50% off on GOG.com for Windows and Mac. That's only $4.99 for the next 24 hours!

If you got to visit the arcades as a kid, you probably have some great childhood memories. There were few things nearly as exciting as blasting through the swarms of alien invaders, sweaty palms desperately gripping the controls, knowing that the final boss is just about to turn up, and that you're on your last quarter. Here's your chance to relive that experience with your computer screen full of flashing explosions, ears flooded by the sound of roaring supersonic jet engines, and great pixel-art coming at you from all directions. Not one, but four classic titles await arcade champions and brave contestants in this amazing collection.

Raiden Legacy revives one of the most memorable arcade shoot 'em up series, that excels in fast paced action with abundance of flying flashy projectiles and a great variety of enemies coming in waves from the top of the screen. There are--of course--some giant bosses to fight, lots of power-ups, and a great selection of weaponry. The Legacy consists of four independent titles updated with optional graphics filter. For less than five bucks you get Raiden, Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2, and Raiden Fighters Jet--that's four classic arcade shooters that can easily provide you (and a friend, if you choose the phenomenally playable local co-op mode) with hours of explosive fun!

Compared to the amounts of money we've all probably lost quarter by quarter as kids in the arcade, Raiden Legacy with its $4.99 pricetag on GOG.com sure does look like a bargain, especially for the unlimited play! The offer lasts until Tuesday, October 8, at 9:59AM GMT.
Fun shoot em up. Not easy but fun all the same.
Nice promo.
I don't remember this coming out here. Good promo.
damn you GOG, haven't you guys got enough money out of me the past three weeks?
Will pick this up, pity it doesn't have Raiden 2 though, my favourite.
Ah, Raiden. Treated this machine like my own piggy bank. Although it never did give me back my quarters. This and Zaxxon were the best spaceship scrollers.
I thought I had this already... but apparently it was just the Android version, from Humble Bundle. Odd that they didn't deliver the Windows version as well with that?

Anyway, bought from GOG, it doesn't play so good on Android.

I remember that. There wasn't a Windows version at the time.
I'm sorry to be 'That guy' but I have to ask. When's the final part of GOG's fifth anniversary coming? I want know. (sorry).

"...more...More...MORE!!! HAHAHAHAHA" =P
I've probably spent more than 5 bucks on various shmups over the years; never could stay away from a good arcade.
How do these games compare to Tyrian?
Funny how memory works, didnt play raiden since i was a kid at the arcade, and the first level was so familiar instantly. What wasn't so familiar was the game kicking my ass so easily.

Here's an overview of the series (though there aren't any comparisons to tyrian, just other contemporary and a few modern shooters)
