* '''Darius Twin''' (SNES/SFC, 1991) The first of two console-exclusive original ''Darius'' games. Less punishing than other titles (that is, [[Difficulty Spike|until the last stage]]), but fewer branching paths. |

* '''Darius Force''' / '''Super Nova''' (SNES/SFC, 1993) The second of two console-exclusive original ''Darius'' games. Slower-paced than other titles in the series, has [[Darker and Edgier|a dark and moody tone in comparison]], and utilizes ''[[R-Type]]''-style checkpoints that you respawn at when you die. |

* '''Darius Gaiden''' (Arcade, 1994) Regarded by many fans as the best title in the series. Contains pretty boss explosions and very weird music. Ported to the Saturn, PS1 and PC, then to PS2, Xbox and PC (again) via the compilation disc ''Taito Legends 2''. Unfortunately for some players, the ''Taito Legends 2'' port prevents you from achieving extremely fast autofire via [[Button Mashing]]. |

** ''Darius Gaiden Extra'' (Arcade) An apparently official [[ROM Hack]] with rearranged stages, much faster autofire, and if you start a game on the player 2 side, you will do a 28-stage mode in which you do all of the stages, instead of just 7 of them. |

* '''G-Darius''' (Arcade, 1997) The first game in the series with fully 3D graphics (before ''Darius Burst'' 12 years later), which allows for some freakishly huge bosses, leading to many [[Battleship Raid|Battleship Raids]]. One of its most distinguishing featues is the "Alpha Beam" system, which if fired at a boss can result in a [[Beam-O-War]] that grows bigger until it covers the entire screen. Also ported to Saturn, PS1, PC, and PS2. |
