 '''Viper Phase 1''' is a 1995 vertically scrolling shooter video game developed by Seibu Kaihatsu for arcades. Often regarded as a spin-off or spiritual successor to the Raiden series, the game shares many similarities in terms of gameplay mechanics and design. Viper Phase 1 is the first game developed for Seibu Kaihatsu's SPI system board, featuring detailed sprite-based graphics and elaborate explosion effects.
-The initial release (known as ''OLD version'') failed to gain acceptance among many players due to its unorthodox weapons system. Three months later, a revised '''NEW version''' was released, featuring adjustments that brought the gameplay closer to ''Raiden'', such as making sub-weapons permanent. This version also formed the basis for overseas releases of Viper Phase 1.

 == Gameplay Overview ==
-The '''gameplay overview''' section starts out with the '''controls''' of the game, including all of the buttons used and what they're used for. ''It's recommended to keep the control layout simple and easy to understand.'' Feel free to note the directions that the player can move as well, if you wish or if it's notable (horizontal only, 4 way, 8 way, analog, etc). Advanced and strategic ways of manipulating the controls can be included in a following Strategy section, or wherever that information might be the most relevant.
+The game consists of eight stages and supports two-player simultaneous play. There are no extends.

 == Story ==
-Basic story breakdowns, plot information, and endings are included here.
+The year is 2050 (Cosmic Era), long after humanity embarked on a massive space colonization project in search of a "second Earth." Having settled across various star systems, humanity developed unique cultures and scientific advancements, yet simultaneously fell into conflict, sparking a succession of large-scale interstellar wars. The flames of war eventually reached Earth itself; a rebel force from another star system—possessing technology far superior to Earth's—brought a massive fleet led by a space aircraft carrier into Earth's orbit and demanded unconditional surrender. In response, the Earth Defense Force launched a top-secret operation codenamed "Viper Phase 1," the plan for which was to infiltrate the enemy carrier, gather data, seize a new type of enemy fighter, and then use that fighter to destroy the carrier.
