Raiden Fighters (ライデンファイターズ, Raiden Faitāzu) is a vertical-scrolling shooter arcade game developed and published by Seibu Kaihatsu in 1996. Contrary to popular belief, Raiden Fighters and its two sequels are not part of the Raiden series. It began development as an unrelated game named Gun Dogs until just before its release. Raiden Fighters features a roster of five fighter craft that make up the Gun Dogs squadron. Each fighter carries a bomb whose launch distance can be controlled by holding down the bomb button and releasing it to detonate the bomb. Each fighter has a Laser-type weapon and a Missile-type weapon, one of which can be active at one time. The Gun Dogs fighters have a charged attack for each of their weapons. Raiden Fighters was one of the most popular arcade games in Japan, leading to a sequel, Raiden Fighters 2: Operation Hell Dive, that introduced new game mechanics that separate it from the original Raiden.
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch, making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
