Damn, PCE really handed the SFC and MD their asses with this port of Raiden.

the 2 large tanks before the fairy are glitched sometimes both won't appear and other times only 1 will show up

This game takes no freakin prisoners. The last boss will make you cry, if not the whole stage itself.

I have the PCE CD version, and it's even more awesome than this one, given it has an amazing remixed soundtrack.

I could also see how my Genesis and SNES felt embarrassed about their Raiden ports when I first played the Hu-Card version.

ever seen the Neo geo ports for it?

well, i was writing a overly complex explanation, but lets just say the PC engine has a advantage of processing power with its "8 bit cpu" even over sega genesis 68k if its kept on 8 bit realm of sprite moving, so when doing a fighter with a lot of sprites, or a shooter, the pc engine shines.

unfortunately, this, and the lack of licensing deals turned the pc engine in THE space shooter machine, just like neo geo is the fighter one.
