Considered to be both a milestone in shooter design and one of the toughest games in the genre, Radiant Silvergun comes courtesy of Japanese developer Treasure. Released only in Japan, Radiant Silvergun offered two modes, Arcade and Saturn mode. The former is all about intense 2D shooting action, while Saturn Mode adds a storyline to the mix and features anime-style characters and voice overs. Radiant Silvergun’s most interesting feature is that it did away with the power-up system so prevalent in 2D shooters and instead offered a choice of attacks — and combos between them. From standard lasers, to split shots, tracking fire, homing blasts, rear attacks, lock-on laser, and the Radiant Sword that can act both as shield and smart bomb, players have to choose the right attack for the right enemy to make it through.

With such amateurish cover art and bearing the logo of some unknown company called Soft Vision, you’d be excused for passing up on this hori memorizer in a secondhand game shop. Don’t. Just don’t. It’s cream of the crop MD shooting, with some of the most frantic action outside of the Thunder Force series. It just keeps throwing increasingly bigger and scarier alien hardware at you non-stop, while cranking the speed up and filling the air with awesome tunes. Not to mention it’s very pretty and gets harder by the third stage than most other MD shooters ever get.
