Originally an arcade game released in 1990, Raiden is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up that has spawned many sequels. It has been ported to a number of formats over the years.

The Jaguar port of Raiden is nicely done. All the action of the arcade game is here and this is certainly worth a look for shoot 'em up fans.
