Literally had too many problem playing it on original hardware that I had to play it on DuckStation to get the definitive experience. Still, you've got the ridiculous difficulty in the first game and multiple slowdowns happening here and there which made it an unsatisfying experience overall.

The second game was, however, a better overall experience for a Shoot 'em up. It's felt like they put more work on the second game than the first one, yet we still had the orientation problem which I had to deal with using DuckStation.

I appreciate the the inclusion of Remixes to show the PS1 capabilities and what it offer in the sound department.

Only recommended if you're willing to go through hell and back to play this game in its definitive form.

Very challenging game but very fun. Lots of replay value. Personally enjoyed Raiden II over the first but both are still really fun.
