Armed Police Batrider is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up arcade game released by 8ing/Raizing in 1998. The game is initially set in Manhattan, 2014. You control a flying jet bike called a Batrider, with a choice of 4 configurations (Normal, Option, Bomber, Speed up), and a further choice of 9 pilots (and a further 9 secret pilots) each with unique modifications to the Batrider. You can play as the Police team, Psychic team or Criminal team. You shoot enemies in the air and ground, collect power-ups, and defeat many bosses to advance up to 7 stages. There are many variations and secrets in the game and this style of game spawned a popular sub-genre in scrolling shooter games.
