Taito's Arcade to PC port questions

Post by Fighter17 »

I know a couple of Taito Arcade hits like Darius Gaiden, and Rayforce (Layer Section) was ported onto the PC and was published in the US by Interplay. I have some questions about it:


* Are the ports arcade perfect (or have any problems what so ever)?
* How many Taito games were ported onto the PC in general (old and new)?
* I know Darius Gaiden, and Layer Section was published in the US by Interplay, but did Interplay published any other shooters?
* I herd G Darius and Raystorm was published for the PC, but did those games had a US release?
* Any problems playing these games on XP?

Please help me out, because I really want to buy those games for the PC.

Concerning arcade perfection, the games are ports of the PSX revs....well....G-Darius and Raycrisis at least. From personal experience, Rayforce has issues with XP. Namely speed. Could just be me though.

Well, thanks to Home of the Underdogs, I was able to play the CD-RIP version of Darius Gaiden, Layer Section, and Raiden II (all published by Interplay).

Layer Section: The game runs too fast, like Damocles said on Windows XP. Currently I'm trying to fix this, hopefully.

Darius Gaiden: Arcade perfect by the pixel and speed, works great on Windows XP (just no music well, it's a CD-RIP version).

Raiden II: I download the older version of Raiden II that wasn't published by Interplay, but it plays great. Arcade perfect by me (I herd there's something weird about the shadows in the game, but I don't care). No music because it's a CD-RIP.

Any more PC shooters I should look out for?
