3 years 11 months ago

Hamster has released this latest entry in its burgeoning Arcade Archives range, which has grown to legendary, record-breaking proportions. This week sees the re-release of UPL's obscurity Raiders 5, now available to download on Nintendo Switch.

Released in arcades in 1985, Raiders 5 is a fairly simplistic maze-shooter, in which players guide a vessel through a series of scrolling mazes, blasting enemy bases before escaping via a pulsating exit. Despite mazes being a key element of Raiders 5's gameplay, your little ship can blast through huge sections of the surrounding walls, leaving one wondering why the maze is a deterrent in the first place.
