The Raiden Project

The Raiden Project is a vertical scrolling shoot-em-up compilation developed by Seibu Kaihatsu and published by Ocean, bringing the classic arcade shooters Raiden and Raiden II to the PlayStation. The package was well regarded as a faithful conversion of the arcade originals and offered a solid challenge for fans of the genre.

One PAL variant is currently catalogued in the database, covering the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands under a single Original release. The game is presented in a Full Jewel PAL case with a single disc, in English only, and carries no hologram on the case. No loose paperwork, case stickers, or bundled demo discs are documented. The earliest recorded PAL release date is 12 November 1995. With only one known PAL variant and no subsequent budget or Platinum reissues catalogued, this release is a relatively clean find for collectors focused on early PAL shoot-em-up titles.
