Play Raimais Online

Raimais is a 1988 arcade game from Taito, released during a period when maze games were still common but beginning to experiment with faster, more aggressive mechanics. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, but it does add a layer of speed and risk that sets it apart from more methodical contemporaries.

You control a futuristic bike, navigating tight maze-like screens while collecting all the dots to open the exit. Your main threat comes from rival riders who patrol the lanes; you can either avoid them or, if you grab a shield power-up, plow right through. Holding down the fire button gives you a temporary speed boost, useful for dodging or making tight escapes, but it also makes controlling your bike more demanding. The mazes themselves change layout as you advance, and you often get to choose your path by picking which exit to take at the end of a stage. It's a fast, tense game where one wrong move can end your run, and that constant pressure makes every cleared screen feel like a real accomplishment.
