My first clear of this shmup and my first 1cc in the Raiden series,
its a decent run with some dumb death (like at last boss) but
i'm ok with this for now.
Score system is simple, you have to speedkill everything you can,
and you can take advantage from the bonus awarded by charged
missiles (can be seen in first boss).
The video is from input replay and unfortunately the ending
and 5M final bonus aren't shown.
This run is played on Steam version of Raiden IV Overkill and
for some reason online ranking doesn't include Arcade Original mode.

Scoring run of this horizontal shmup developed by Konami
and released in 1991.
Visually gorgeous, accompanied by a very good ost
and inspired by game like Gradius and R-type this shmup
passed under the radar in the early 90, mostly because of the
success of street fighters 2 in those years.
Gameplay might seem similar to R-type but only superficially,
the tentacle mechanic and the charged shot only available
when the flint (force) is locked make for a unique and more tactical playstyle.
In this run i used a score bug to achive more then 10M pts by triggering
a specific event for every life i had in stock.
Also i got 4 secret 1up in stage 1 and 3 (2 x loop),
guaranteed if specific action are performed (just do what i do in the video).
Even if this is a scoring run i didnt get a really good score because i
failed one of the score bug chance, a normal good run should be
around 12M+ or more if extra life show up,
anyway this is my best 2All for now while my best score is 13.6M (stage2-2),
will upload more when i get better game clear.
I played on Wolfmame 0.225 and i used 2 autofire
at 20Hz and 30Hz.
The 20Hz was necessary because when game slowdown
30Hz stop working correctly , too many input i think,
this problem seems corrected in Arcade Archives, but i havent checked yet.
