Item Description

Raiden plays like it was designed by someone who had been shot down a few too many times. Seibu Kaihatsu's 1990 arcade shooter launched one of the longest-running vertical shmup series in gaming, and Raiden Trad brought its lean, unforgiving style to the Super Nintendo early in the console's life. You pilot a lone fighter against an invading army of tanks, gun emplacements and aircraft, and the screen fills up fast.

The weapon system is simple and smart. Red power-ups build the vulcan, a widening fan of bullets that covers the screen; blue power-ups build a concentrated laser that melts anything straight ahead. Secondary missiles come in two flavors, straight-firing nuclear missiles or homing missiles that find targets on their own, and a stock of bombs wipes out most of the enemies on screen when things get desperate. Deciding which color to grab before the next boss is half the strategy.

Each stage ends with a large boss, and Raiden's signature trait is how quickly enemy fire comes at you. Reflexes alone rarely carry you far, so learning where the tanks roll in and when the bullets will fly becomes part of the fun.

The Raiden name would carry through decades of sequels, but this is where Super Nintendo owners first met it. It is a straightforward, no-nonsense shooter that is easy to pick up for a few minutes and surprisingly hard to put down until the next stage falls.

About the game

Raiden Trad is an over-head vertical-scrolling shooter, based on an arcade game of the same title. It features two forms of weapon upgrades and two types of missiles (normal or homing). You start the game with several bombs which you can use to destroy most enemies on the screen to get yourself out of a jam. Each level ends with a large boss or bosses.
