RayStorm
Description
RayStorm is a shoot'em-up game created for the arcades, later ported to the Playstation and Saturn home consoles. Although there is no story connection, it is often thought of as the spiritual successor to Galactic Attack, which had similar gameplay.
You have 2 weapons at you disposal, a vulcan gun and a lock-on missile attack. You can also do 2 special attacks by using the lock-on system in a special way. The graphics are all in 3D, but the gameplay mechanics are in 2D. There are 7 stages, each ending with a giant end boss.

Trivia
Regional differences
The US PlayStation version default difficulty of the game is at setting 5, which is 2 higher than the original default setting of the Japanese version. Any difficulty lower than 5 ends the game at the fourth stage, so in order to see the whole game players are forced to start at a higher difficulty.
