Raimais (レイメイズ, Reimeizu) is a maze chase arcade game released in April 1988 in Japan by Taito. The object of the game is to drive your vehicle around a maze in order to clear the maze of dots while avoiding the enemy. The game consists of 32 mazes total plus boss fights (some optional, some not). The Japanese version also has a storyline and a final boss fight. The game was ported to the Famicom Disk System under the title Yū Maze the same year. It was included as part of the compilation Taito Legends 2 in 2006.

In Japan, Game Machine listed Raimais on their June 15, 1988 issue as being the eleventh most-successful table arcade unit of the year.

Inspired by the arcade game Pac-Man, Raimais is a top view single screen maze game where you play the role of Rika Midorikawa in an attempt to save her brother. You move around the maze on a 3 wheeled jet bike and you must collect all the dots on the screen to move to the next one. As you collect dots, there are various other bikers on the screen trying to catch you and kill you, and if they do catch you then you lose one of three lives.

You are able to speed up around the maze by holding the fire-button down with icons appearing to give you extra speed or to remove all the dots. One icon gives you a shield and you can chase the other bikers to kill them and if you touch a biker then the shield is removed but you can have more than one at the same time. Once the dots have been collected then various openings appear and you can choose which one to use to move to another screen. Two players can play and each player takes it in turns to play when the other player loses a life.

Masahiko Takagi is known for his work on Night Striker (1989), Superman (1987) and Rastan Saga (1987).
