Of course it is! They are Go Sato's arrangements of the awesome Raiden I and II soundtracks.

Nice score! Almost there for the first loop clear. You'll find that the 5th stage boss is surprisingly easy when you know what to do. Also, you're in for a treat when you reach the loop :D

I had a pretty good run this morning, but i got raped by the rotating rings at the end of stage 5. I ain't leaving this game until i got that loop cleared !

Yes, finaly Nailed that loop! Here i am, 3 spots below spadgy.

Arcade mode
Evilmaxwar - 27,240.660 - 2-1 - Raiden MKII

Image

Funny things is i missed the extend in level 4, which i never do usually, yet that was still my loop beating run.



Now i gotta try to 1cc the 360 mode loop, and squeeze some achievements out of this game.

here for starters:
360 mode
Evilmaxwar - 16,664.310 - 1-4 - Raiden MKII

After 3 weeks of playing arcade mode, that felt weird to have new enemy formations.

Started playing again. So i will contribute my score. Lost all my lives on level 4 boss like an idiot. I don't have a picture but my rank is 60 if verification is needed.

Todaysforgotten - 31,253,530 - 2-2 - Raiden MKII - arcade

Nice! A 360 mode 1-loop clear? Aren't stage 5 and 6 fucking annoying? :D

shit i meant arcade. I have yet to attempt a 360 loop. Although, i have practiced 5 and 6 quite a few times. At first they were horrible. I always thought level 6 boss was super easy but getting to him was the challenge. Of course I say that and when i try i'll die on 3. ...the way of the beast.

CIV ~ 36,442,600 ~ 2-3 ~ Raiden MkII ~ Original - Single ~ PCB
Screen

Different location, and I find that this score's not high enough for the machine. Even if it was a Double score. Holy hell, whoever was playing on this thing must have been nuts.

As for Toothpaste Gun...you make it overlap a couple times and it does more damage than BLUE. Freaking broken against large targets.

2-2 and 2-3 were blind runs...I don't get to the second loop too often, and 2-1 boss usually shoots me down at that one shot pattern at the end.

Comments for 2-2...

Ah crap...the whole city's PURPLE. And we all know purples' the boss color of Raiden...this is gonna suck...
GO AWAY SNIPER TANK! GO AWAY!!!
Ooooooooooh...a nice blue shade for the boss...
WTF NOBODY TOLD ME THERE WAS A SECOND FORM TO THE SECOND FORM!!!!
huh...that form was kinda underwhelming...

Comments for 2-3...

FREAKING SNIPER TANKS EVERYWHERE!!! I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS CRAP!!!
I am so glad that fleet of tank ships don't shoot...they did once...why?
HOLY CRAP WE CAN STILL CHEESE THE MIDBOSS?!?!?!
...man we can cheese a LOT of things...glad there's no on-death explosion of bullets like other games...
THERE'S AN EXTRA BOAT!!! WHY IS THERE AN EXTRA BOAT?!?!!? *GAME OVER*

As I understand it one ship moves faster on its X-axis than on its Y-axis, and visa versa.

I believe the player two ship moves faster on the X-axis (left to right).

I think it was the case in some other Raiden games (DX and 3). All that, however, maybe a concept that has just developed in my head, and not be based on reality. Can anybody else confirm?

Oh - and they're different colours, and blue looks far cooler in space. :) :wink:

Anyway - updating!

Edge - 18,569,840 - 1-4 - P1

Still having problems with the third boss, using many bombs there. At least I made it to the fourth boss now, thanks to the 1up. :)


Thanks spadgy, yeah I remember that movement difference from Raiden DX. But couldn't notice any difference in this game yet. Also in Double Play mode, the ships seemed to move at the same speed. So I thought the difference might be something else in this game.

It's an old one, but I haven't gotten better from this.

CIV ~ 27,538,470 ~ 1-5 ~ Raiden MkII & Raiden MkIIß ~ Original - Double ~ PCB
Screen

Incidentally, I didn't realize Micluses show up in PCB. Though to be fair, the second loop kinda gives me other things to look out for than 100,000 bonus points...

If I ever bother to get a 360, I'm doing a Double Play using the Old Raiden and the Fairy. Just for laughs. If it's even possible.

Very Nice Yumi! Will you take the fool's mission and attempt to 2-ALL X360 mode? :D

Nice, still at it yumi! Best of luck.

I actually played a little bit today. I might try to 2-ALL Arcade mode with the Fairy for fun :D. Bubbles seem useful for 2-3 for their power... but impractical.
