The game’s website describes it as follows:
And now, the ultimate battle for the future of humanity begins.
Raiden Project was released by Seibu Kaihatsu in 1995 for a 32-bit home console.
As a pilot of the ultra high-altitude fighter-bomber Raiden and Raiden II, fight to save Earth from the invasion of Alien that suddenly appeared!
This title is a full-fledged vertical-scrolling shooting game that includes both Raiden, an arcade vertical-scrolling shooting game released in 1990 that gained explosive popularity, and Raiden II, which was released three years later and was also very popular.
(The game includes only the Japanese version; the English version is not included. Please note that all in-game text is in Japanese only.)
The Console Archives series is designed to bring classic games originally released on home consoles to modern gaming platforms.
In Console Archives series, features such as customizable button layouts, rapid-fire settings, multiple save points, and for some titles, a rewind function have been added, to support players in completing these classics.
Additional options include screen layout adjustments and filters that recreate the nostalgic atmosphere of CRT TVs back in the day, allowing players to customize the visual experience to their preference.
Whether it’s a title you played long ago or one you’re experiencing for the first time, we hope you’ll find a favorite and enjoy the game your way.
