Wei...Were you able to check a Japanese rom on MAME?<br />Weirdly enough, information on the Japanese variation of Raiden is really scarce. That's why I always thought of Raiden as an instant-respawn shooter.Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491361099947592597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-46868840230379840872014-04-13T23:44:44.387-03:002014-04-13T23:44:44.387-03:00even if i already saw one or two times a Raiden ca...even if i already saw one or two times a Raiden cabinet during my childhood, i never played on it since back then, i was more into Vs.

While the bomb shields you from the bullets, go in and destroy the guns located on it. Don't worry; You can touch the body, and it won't kill you. After that, the remaining arm will continue shooting down, and you can stay above the boss and continue shooting the boss' weak point. -currymanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-72474736851786924392011-09-09T22:03:43.249-03:002011-09-09T22:03:43.249-03:00This is the best port of Raiden in my opinion.
