Is it just me or is Raiden III just like Raiden II?

Your NES thread is full of low scores and games you didn't buy.

That thread was about praising Zanac.

You want to know why there is a lack of purple lazier? I'll tell you why. They forgot how to code the damn thing. Seriously, it has some of the most bizarre quirks I've ever seen in a spline. No, it's not bezier in nature either. To my knowledge I've never seen anyone duplicate it 100%. I think proper coding algorithm discovery may involve forming a pact with the Devil and selling your soul.

SOMEone must still know. I mean, there were PSX and Win95 ports of Raiden 2, so there is probably somewhat legible sourcecode somewhere.

Well the purple laser is back is Raiden IV...does that make it a devil's game?

I finally picked it up the other day. I'm having a blast so far, but I see what you mean about how little it has evolved past 2 (pretty much nil, heheh).
