GimmeClassics Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 This game expands on the first Raiden's mechanics, introducing two weapons: the Bend Plasma, a lock-on weapon that deals constant low damage to enemies, and the Cluster Bomb, a fast-deploying bomb that does less damage than regular bombs but strikes a larger area. Raiden II has three primary weapons and two missile weapons, upgraded by collecting power-ups. Primary weapons and missiles are fired simultaneously. Bombs are special weapons that deal damage over a wide area and cancel out enemy fire. Players can carry a maximum of seven of any combination of the two types of bombs in the game. The player fights enemies through eight stages of increasing difficulty. In a two-player game, when one player shoots the other's craft with the red or blue primary weapon, the other player's craft generates special projectiles that deal a lot of damage to enemies. The game's story continues where the first game left off. Three years after the VCD repelled the invasion of the Crystals, the remnants of the machines controlled by the Crystals regroup to form another army to resume taking over the Earth. To combat this Crystal resurgence, a new weapon is developed for the Fighting Thunder—designed from Crystal technology—to stop the Crystals again. Have fun everybody !! ~ GC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolo77 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Thanks for the submission. I'm still sick. C.Diff ain't something to play around with. Feeling better, but still dealing with diarrhea. Updated OP, DB, RSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 This game doesn’t work in the version of MAME I have running on my cabinet. Can somebody recommend a confirmed working version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can somebody recommend a confirmed working version? I used the 0.186 version and work well. Just a warning message like many time that said 'May be not 100% fully working'. Note : I got some scatterred screen but then use the mame64.exe version 0,214 with roms 0.186 and work perfect. I'm investigation the issue but really thing is more a software configuration issue. Hey, that's life with MAME, right ? Play 50% , fix 50%. (Be honest here ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smario Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Wow, Raiden II... I haven't been playing much lately, but Raiden II is a very good reason to fire up the cabinet again! In fact, when I built my cabinet, I did so having just a few games in mind with Raiden II being one of them (was pretty disappointed when I found out Mame couldn't run it but settled for Raiden Project on PS1 which I think is a nearly flawless port). Raiden II for me is one of the best games ever made so I'm looking forward to this quarter's comp. @Cynicaster @Floyd Turbo I think Mame 0.155 was the first version to be able to run Raiden II (and Raiden DX). I remember it being a major breakthough for the devs. I can confirm Mame 0.187. score 487,260 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Thanks for the submission! I've yet to have some free time to load this up, seems like there may be some difficulties. Hope I can play it too. Updated OP, DB, RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Turbo Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Lowering the bar since 1978. Here is my first attempt. Not sure what the best weapon system is yet. At least I found a working version to play. 36,500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Thanks for being our 3rd competitor! Spoiler I owe the community an apology here. Floyd's score was posted on Thursday, it's now Sunday. My C.Diff infection was doing better last week, then on Tuesday this week it came back with a vengeance. I went to the ER to follow up because they said if it's gets worse to do that. Since I was doing better, this was worse, so I went. They went batshit crazy on me. Double-arm IV's, about 12 bags of fluids, no less than 8 shots, and my own room.... for 5 days. I wasn't released until Saturday evening. So I wasn't here to update the threads. And I didn't have a way to alert anybody either. So for that, I'm sorry. Hopefully things will get better. I'm still alive, so I think I'm out of the danger zone (1 in 5 die from this infection). A pharmacist friend of mine said this can last up to 6-8 months. Whoopee.. Updated OP, DB, RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtkiii Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I'm not too great at these games but do enjoy playing them.

hansolo77 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Not as bad as me. I've not played it yet and submitted a score. Heck, I've not even update the competition with a new game yet either (not that it matters with only 4 players...).

millerbrad Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 My arcade cab has spent the last 6+ months stored in a corner of my basement, while the rest of my basement got finished. Unfortunately, COVID-19 put that project on hold for quite awhile, and the lower level of my house has been in a state of disarray that whole time. I was finally able to roll it out and play a little tonight. And this game is hard. 95,500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
