The Android ports of these games on Google Play Store and Amazon App Store were delisted within days following the announcement of the ''Ray'z Arcade Chronology'' in 2023.

* BadExportForYou: The North American [=PS1=] port of ''[=RayStorm=]'' prohibits you from ever seeing easier versions of stages 5 through 8, due to those stages being cut out if any stage's difficulty is lower than the default. Just to rub salt in the wound, this version's default difficulty was also raised two levels above its Japanese counterpart, meaning you cannot play on Japanese defaults without being locked out of the second half of the game. You can blame Creator/WorkingDesigns for this; they did this intentionally in an attempt to curb "oh, I credited to the end, that's it, I'm never playing this again" mentality, as stated in their localization notes in the instruction manual. Perhaps to make up for it, this version of the game defaults to 5 lives instead of 3. All subsequent localized versions do not have this feature.
