Raiden Legacy - farmerbb/RED-Project GitHub Wiki

Raiden Legacy contains four arcade games from the Raiden series. The collection can be purchased on Steam here, as well as on GOG here, Google Play here and Amazon Appstore here.

All four games in this compilation can be extracted, and all except Raiden Fighters can be run using the latest version of MAME (or the "MAME - Current" core in RetroArch). The original Raiden game also runs in FinalBurn Neo, but with graphical glitches.
