	Gamebits: Strider 2
		The original Strider arcade game was released in 1989, and was later ported to the Sega Genesis.
		Strider's special attack is a projectile that homes in on the enemy; add a rapid fire attack, and these guys don't stand a chance.
		Strider 2 isn't as difficult, long-lasting, or revolutionary for its time, but is a neat facelift to a popular game, and getting two games for the price of one isn't bad.

		Sega's release of Capcom's Strider -- a popular arcade game at the time -- was the first eight megabit cartridge ever and was as close to the arcades home console gaming had yet seen.
		The first home version of the game came to the U.S. on the Nintendo Entertainment System and was a good platform/action game that didn't stay faithful to the arcade original but told a better story than any other Strider game to date.
		Strider 2 comes in a two-disc set -- one disc for Strider 2, and the other for the original Strider arcade game.

	Strider - videogame classics
		The game consoles had always played catch-up with their more potent arcade cousins, and the 16-bit era meant that gap would be closing.
		Strider is a multi-scrolling action thriller featuring a sword-wielding hero who runs, slides, and summersaults across a fantastic variety of environments.
		Those arcades have become a relic from the past; the explosion of console gaming and the rise of the internet have seen to that.

	[No title]
		Strider Hiryu 1&2 is a perfect game set for Strider fans, as well as those who have not played the games before.
		One of the most loved games for the system, it was also one of the more popular, and gave many fans (including myself) their first look at the series.
		While the game has a horrible translation, and is not true to the arcade feel of the original game, the NES Strider was successful in many different ways.

	Arcade Legends Multi-Game Video Machine - Upright
		The 80s and early 90s are known as the ''Golden Age of Arcade Games'' for that era's outstanding output of fun, creative, and addictive video games.
		This game is significant to arcade history because it is believed to be the first game to ever designed by a woman.
		The game play is very similar to Pac-Man, except Ladybug has the additional element of revolving doors used to avoid other insects and special letters that can be collected to earn extra lives.

	Strider 2 review for the PS
		Anyway, Strider was the only arcade game in existence that I could beat with a single quarter.
		A Strider is a member of a covert elite mercenary organization with strong ties to the ninjas.
		Most recently, the organization of Striders was destroyed and it is rumored that another Strider had a hand in its demise.

	Strider 2 Review
		The original game was a 2D sidescroller with an emphasis on fast action and a limited amount of problem solving in the form of figuring out how to beat a certain boss or get from one place to the next.
		But where Strider's levels were creatively designed and nice to look at, the sequel is dull, featuring the usual blocky scifi cityscapes and medieval castles, with one admittedly cool traffic-jumping sequence.
		All of this aside, the single thing that makes Strider 2 my vote for coaster of the year is that the very first time I sat down to play it, I finished the game's five missions in less than 50 minutes.

	Capcom Classics Mini Mix Review
		Gaming, that is. I mean, if we examine the evolution of video games from just the age of the Nintendo Entertainment System up through present day, next-generation game consoles, we can see how well games have grown up and just how serious the industry, as a whole, has become.
		The NES version of the game has always been considered to be superior to its arcade counterpart in almost every conceivable way and while it may not be an amazing display of graphical prowess, it is still one of the best NES games you'll ever play.
		Granted, there are moments in the game where you'll want to literally throw your GBA or DS out of pure frustration (it's not an easy game at all and has some of the most difficult moments I've ever played through).

	IGN: Strider 2 Review
		And while the game was undeniably a huge success on the arcade front, Strider made its biggest splash on Sega's 16-bit console, the Genesis (not having to spend all those quarters probably helped).
		On the default settings, the life bar starts out almost twice as long as it was in the first game and when you combine that with the unlimited continues (where the player restarts the game at the exact spot that he dies), the game's really a breeze to play through.
		The game is supposed to be a straight port of the arcade version, but there are some issues that with the conversion.

	Classic Review Archive - Journey from Darkness: Strider Returns
		Since his first appearance in 1988 in arcades - the original Strider is considered to be one of the greatest arcade games ever made - the legend behind him has grown.
		The game has decent control - all of Hiryu's moves from the arcade are intact, although Hinjo (why?) could move a little faster.
		Unless you're a diehard Strider fan, steer clear of this one (even if you are a diehard Strider fan, I still recommend that you steer clear of it).

		The original Strider Hiryuu manga was serialized between May and October 1988 issues of the Monthly Comp Comics and was illustrated by Tatsumi Wada (an alias of Strider's creator, Moto Kikaku or perhaps the other way around).
		The Strider Hiryuu arcade game was released shortly after the manga finished it's run, although the game barely has anything to do with the plot of the manga.
		As Strider was made before the fall of Communism, one could take this as a 'cold war'-era game.

	Game Pilgrimage
		Strider for the Sega Genesis is better than the already great conversion of Ghouls N Ghosts on Genesis, and certainly better than Altered Beast or Golden Axe on Genesis, or the much later Street Fighter games on either 16-bit platform, in terms of being exactly like the arcade version.
		Strider, the first 8-Megabit cartridge ever, managed to very nearly carry a photo perfect replication of the arcade game, and only slipped slightly in the sound department due to the lack of voices in the cutscenes.
		When you compare Strider to the other action platformer carts of its day, in 1990, it's still the cream of the crop, the best there is. Only Shinobi 3 from three years later can compete with Strider in terms of gameplay and level design.

	Strider 2 for PlayStation Review - PlayStation Strider 2 Review
		While Strider 2 is worthy of the legacy established back in '89, it offers little more than a tease of where future Strider's could go.
		With few moves save for his slash, slide, and wall-climbing abilities (along with a super "boost" move that sends homing projectiles at his enemies), Strider gives new life to the term "simplicity." The control in Strider is ultraresponsive and as tight as you would expect and need in a game of this nature.
		The other big draw with this package is the inclusion of the original Strider arcade game from 1989, which was stunning at the time for its innovative play mechanics, parallax effects, and up-tempo gameplay.

		The year was 1990, Sega had just released the first 8 meg cartridge Strider, and the Chicago CES was brimming with uneducated salesman on the show floor representing just about every gaming company in the world.
		I had casually approached the game, and giving it a fair shake, I not only watched the 'attract mode' of the game, but also picked up the controller and attempted to play the game.
		The game was a simple side-scrolling fighter in the manner of Final Fight, but please do not confuse the reference with a sign of similar quality.

	Strider 2 Review for PlayStation - Gaming Age
		Overall, the game is a graphic marvel but can look incredibly clashing at times since you will end up taking down plenty of 2-D and 3-D enemies before the game is through.
		In many sections of the game it feels a lot like you are playing the original with updated graphics and cool new moves, which is not always a bad thing in my book.
		While it is only supposed to be a port of an arcade game, I still look for that extra bit of effort by programmers.

		Strider Hiryu returns in this 2D side-scrolling action game, featuring the original game's tight gameplay and modern polygonal backgrounds.

		Also included is a pixel-perfect port of the classic Strider arcade game that withstands the test of time due to its impressive parallax scrolling, excellent level design, and smooth control.

		Of these, 2 of them are original dedicated machines, 1 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been placed in another game cabinet, and 19 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.
		Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.
		Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector.
