'''Raiden''' (雷電, lit. ''Raiden'') is a vertical [[shooter]] developed by [[Seibu Kaihatsu]], and originally released as an arcade game in September [[1990]] by [[Fabtek]]. The game's success led to it being ported to several systems, and receiving multiple sequels. | |||
==Story== | |||
In the futuristic year of 2090, Earth has suddenly become the target of deranged aliens. Following the invasion, a new cutting-edge weapon, the "Raiden Supersonic Attack Fighter", based on a destroyed alien craft, is created for humanity's hope for survival. | |||
== | ==Gameplay== | ||
The | The mechanics of the game are simple and typical for the era of which the game was released in. The player pilots the Raiden Supersonic Attack Fighter through waves of enemies, and several stages. There are two types of weapons, and the player can collect several power-ups for them to make them stronger. There are bomb and missile power-ups as well as collectible medals which add to the player's score. The game is comprised of 8 stages with mass amounts of enemies for a challenging pacing. | ||
After defeating the [[Raiden/Stage 8|Stage 8]] boss, the mission will be completed, and a 1 million point mission clear bonus is received. When each mission starts, it will start back to [[Raiden/Stage 1|Stage 1]]. This time around, enemies shoot faster and at a more rapid rate. | |||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | * The title in Japanese translates to "Thunder and Lightning". ''Rai'' means thunder, and ''den'' means lightning. The correct English pronunciation of the game's title is "RHY-den", not "RAY-den". | ||
