Raiden Legacy - Steam Edition
I rate Raiden Legacy 4/5. Good. Works well now.
EDIT: I’ve learned more about what these games were originally supposed to be like. Now I rate Raiden Legacy 3/5. OK. But it is still the only collection of these Raiden games available on Steam and when coupled with the frame rate fix linked below, Raiden Legacy has the potential to be a good game.
The overall negative rating of this game collection appears to no longer be justified. I encountered no issues involving stuttering. Indeed, I have encountered no major bugs of any kind.

Well, when it comes to Arcade, Shoot’Em Up & Shooter genre, Raiden series is surely one of the well known games. And for this one, Raiden Legacy, is a good compilation of 4 in 1 collection. It has all the memorable classic games back in the old days, only with slightly changes of here and there. So, let’s check it out!
The Gameplay
Like any other Shoot’Em Up & Shooter games, the gameplay mechanic is simple and straightforward, shooting & bombing. It’s as they say, shoot on sight! There’s no complexity of button combinations to execute certain kill shots or need any rocket science brain to figure out how to play. It’s just that easy.

Pang Adventures
A somewhat decent addition to the Pang series in my opinion. Not nearly as good as the originals and with quite some nuances about it, so your mileage may vary, though.
Pros:
-The default mode, with stage select and infinite lives is very convenient for pick and play whenever you have a few minutes to spare. There is also a real arcade mode with lives.
-Physics and character movement, although limited, feel mostly right and make the game nice to play.
-There is a decent variety of ball types with different physics and dangers.

OK-ish port of the ‘89 arcade classic
Pang was probably the first arcade machine game I ever saw. Seeing such colorful graphics, fluid animations and epic sounds blew my mind because I was only familiar with our old trusty 48KB ZX Spectrum. Watching older boys play Pang (that’s Pang not Pong… ain’t that old) made me immediately aware I was defo not up for the task lol and would only waste money on coins needed to run the machine. So like a hopeful first born I wasted parents’ money on Wardner and Toki while avoiding smokes and booze like a good son that I was. The joint also had the best burgers money could buy, for 1.5 cent in today money. God I miss em.
