RayCrisis: Series Termination

RayCrisis is a vertical shoot ’em up developed by Taito, released in arcades in 1998 and on the PlayStation, as RayCrisis: Series Termination in North America, in 2000.

It is a prequel to RayForce and uses the series’ lock-on lasers, which hit enemies on a lower layer below the player’s ship. A meter that rises over the course of a stage adds pressure, and the stages are chosen in a branching order.

RayCrisis has a native PC port made by static recompilation.
