How did this become the face of shoot em ups in the west? I know pretty much no one was actually clearing this in western arcades.

It's just an inferior copy of K-Tiger, why was it so popular in the west?

I want to play Raiden on PC. What's the best way?

Raiden 1 is great. Starts off a bit slow but really picks up in the later stages and second loop.

If you like the first game you should try Raiden 2 or DX, similar mechanics but improved graphics, explosions and sound. And no graphical glitches. But I think the items are more randomized, which can be annoying...

Is this game (and its sequel) even possible to 1CC?
