The release marks the first time that European gamers will get the chance to play the widely-admired vertical shooter in its pure, un-touched form.

“The PlayStation Network gets another classic from the Japanese vault. We hope Arcade Hits: Shienryu appeals to our user’s distinct understanding of Japanese game development.

About Arcade Hits: Shienryu
Shienryu is a classic vertical-scrolling arcade shoot’em-up that was faithfully translated to the PlayStation with good flair and fun. Warashi developed the game in 1999 with stunning arcade graphics and gave intricate detail, which makes this shooter a wonderful play to this day. The amount of particles on the screen and their effects in the background as they fall to the ground are superbly displayed. The variety of power-ups and weapons gives incredible diversity and lends longevity.
You’re captain of a sleek space craft out to defend the planet against a horrific enemy. The game can be flown alone or with a friend for added power (and laughs!). You’ll face off against towering alien mechs and endure a bedlam of bullets that will test your steel. Shooter fans converge; you won’t want to miss this classic Japanese import!
