Cancelled ports An Amiga version was announced in late 1993 to be under development by Imagitec Design. It was intended to be published by U.S. Gold, but according to a former Imagitec employee on an Amiga-dedicated internet forum, it was left unreleased due to the arrival of newer systems on the market. Another version was made by Imagitec for the Atari Falcon, announced in 1994. Early playable builds of both versions have since been leaked online. Reception Arcade The original arcade release of Raiden did not make as much money initially, with Komazawa attributing this to the game's underpowered hardware and lack of flashy visuals to draw players in. A few months after its release, the game began to generate increased income, resulting in an increase in arcade establishments requesting orders of the hardware. Seibu Kaihatsu ended up selling around 17,000 units through steady sales for a year. In Japan, Game Machine listed the title on their 1 July 1990 issue as being the most-successful table arcade unit at the time, outperforming titles such as Trigon and Columns. It went on to be Japan's sixth highest-grossing arcade game of 1990 and fifth highest-grossing arcade game of 1991. It was also an arcade hit for Fabtek in North America, where it became a chart-topper. During November and December 1990, weekly coin drop earnings averaged $194.25 per arcade unit.Raiden was included as one of the titles in the 2010 book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die.
