jeremiahjt Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Another one I do not have. This is one I have been wanting for a while though. Must avoid pulling the trigger on another game right now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_shred Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 37,930 This game seems buggy to me. It crashed several times whilst trying to get this score. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SD cart is a "must buy" though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 42510 first try It’s definitely a tough version of Raiden due to the extremely large scrolling area, but it’s also extremely slow and generous with lives. This wasn’t a good game by me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 30,280 No crashing here, but lots of slowdown! And awkward getting used to the taint-mode controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, an unpronounceable string of consonants.

+jgkspsx Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It’s virtually impossible to recover after you die in this one, even moreso than normal Raiden. So don’t die 63650 for me, not done yet. Here’s a tip to make it a lot more fun: bomb the first powerup gunship. It’s very difficult to take it down otherwise. But you need that powerup, and while bombs are important to conserve, this one is worth it. (This is the only version of Raiden where the first gunship isn’t a gimme.) Usually you want to avoid the laser in stage 1 in Raiden, but it actually seems to work even better than the spread shot, because the game is so slow. You can easily lay down curtain fire across the screen so most of the time there are zero enemies on screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 45,520. Yep. Get the red power-ups; don't die, that is the strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I mostly did this run with the blue laser. Throw your Raiden preconceptions out the window! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Dangerous Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) 85,420 Made it to the second level boss without dying but couldn't figure out his bullet pattern fast enough to avoid them; after one death it was quickly downhill with no power-ups.
