Radiant Silvergun (レイディアント シルバーガン, Reidianto Shirubāgan) is a vertically scrolling shooter video game, developed by Treasure Co. Ltd. It was released in arcades on the ST-V platform in 1998 and subsequently ported to the Sega Saturn, with added cutscenes by noted animation studio GONZO. The game was not released outside of Japan. However, Masato Maegawa has recently hinted that the game could appear on Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360 with high-definition visuals.
It features a unique and innovative weapons system, with seven weapons available at any time. The player has three buttons to control the weapons; the weapon fired depends on the combination of buttons pressed. According to producer Hiroshi Iuchi, the main inspiration for the game's design was Image Fight, an arcade game by Irem from 1988.
Unlike in most other shoot 'em ups, there are no power-ups. All weapons are available from the start. Weapons can 'level up', however, becoming more powerful as the player uses them to score points. There are a selection of 7 weapons that can be used at any given time:
Vulcan Cannon: Fires a stream of bullets from the front end of the craft.
Homing Laser: Fires comparatively weak green
