Raiden Arcade (1990) - Full Walkthrough | Brutal Difficulty Arcade SHMUP!

Return to one of the most intense, brutally difficult, and legendary vertical shoot 'em ups in arcade history: Raiden (Seibu Kaihatsu, 1990)! Dodging relentless enemy bullet hell, managing weapon upgrades, and surviving massive boss battles makes Raiden an absolute test of skill, patience, and reflexes. This complete walkthrough covers the full game from stage 1 to the final boss! A Personal Retro Memory: I was barely 10 years old when I played Raiden for the very first time at a tiny local café near my house. The place was so small there wasn't even room for tables inside. Down in the basement, right next to the restroom, they had carved out a dark, cramped little space just to fit an arcade cabinet. To this day, I still have no idea how they managed to haul that heavy cabinet down those narrow wooden stairs, but they did! I spent countless hours in that dimly lit room playing Raiden. Today, I'm bringing back one of the finest vertical SHMUPs ever created.

Did you play Raiden at your local arcade back in the day? How far did you manage to get on a single credit? Share your memories in the comments below! Note on the ending: As a classic 90s arcade "loop game", Raiden doesn't feature traditional credits! After defeating the final boss in Stage 8, your ship re-enters Earth's atmosphere and the game immediately restarts at Stage 1 (Loop 2) with a much higher difficulty level to challenge high-score hunters! #Raiden #SeibuKaihatsu #Arcade #ShootEmUp #SHMUP #RetroGaming #Walkthrough #Gameplay #1990sGames #ArcadeClassics #Longplay
