Strider

[MotoRoaderMike]

This is one of the GREATEST games of ALL time! It's fun, addictive, and it's NEVER boring, no matter HOW many times you've played it! Oh boy, wish I could time travel back to 1989 to play the original arcade cabinet and see the game in its prime, because I was only 2 years old when Strider first came out.

great game but the gameplay was kinda awful.

Its very popluar, but not for me.

It's cool for the first 30 seconds, but gets old FAST. The logo art (second pic) is cool though, for a time it was my MP3 player's wallpaper.

Capcom Classics Collection Remixed for PSP has the original Strider in arcade-perfect form, but I really wish it had . Now THAT is a good game.

On a side note, that computer running the Strider 2 video must be an HP Pavillion a1007w like mine, it certainly stutters the same.

The PSone Strider Hiryû collection also shows up with the strider 1 & 2 arcade perfect ports.

strider 2 brings great action and gameplay but an awfull eye cancer optic.

Sprites+3D PWNS THE CRAP out of 90's polygons...

Strider 2 was 90's polygons.

I like Strider, it's fun to play.  Certainly not the greatest game evar but it has many moments that I enjoy.  I think if there were a better PC Engine version, more of you would enjoy it.

I still enjoy Strider, despite all the naysayers who say it hasn't aged well (I'm talking to you, Emeril Rockette! ).

I like strider, its a classic

With sprites for Hiryu and the enemies.

Back before I'd ever tried a TurboGrafx-16, I rented Strider on Genesis and didn't like it. We never got Strider or Ghould N Ghosts arcades in my home town, so it wasn't like "OMG! I can finally play the arcade at home!", it was just another game. GnG was cool enough, even though I still prefer the first game.

A decent PCE port of Strider would be neat and I'd play through it every once in a while (like I do the MD & ACD versions anyway) but it wouldn't change my feelings about the game.

I do agree that if a killer-awesome port had been made for PC Engine, a few more people might like it. But its not like everyone loves Forgotten Worlds, Dynasty Warriors or Chiki Chiki Boys.

The best Strider game is Osman.

Why there isn't a super rare $280 copy of this for Saturn on eBay right now is beyond me. It would have been so at home there. I love this game.

I used to not like this game for awhile (loved it when I was a kid, but later learned to not appreciate the controls), but now and days I've learned to like it more.

[GUTS]

Strider f*cking rules, awesome game all around.

Yeah, I remember a friend of mine had Strider for the Genesis and being impressed with the graphics, but rather underwhelmed with the controls. Other than the MAME version, I also have the NES version that came with a 3 in 1 game for the Game Boy Advanced (Strider, Mighty Final Fight, Bionic Commando- I freakin' love that game!). Actually the NES version of Bionic Commando destroys the arcade version. One of the rare exceptions I guess.
