	Gamebits: Strider 2
		The video game industry is at the point Hollywood reached a few years ago: trawling old and forgotten series and repainting them for a new audience.
		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.

	The Adrenaline Vault Review of Strider 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Since the story provided for Strider 2 is almost identical to that of the original, there is the strong suggestion that this game is more of an update than a sequel in the true sense.
		Strider is still equipped with his sword Cypher, but he may now use it while hanging off of walls or ceilings.
		Strider 2 is a simple offering, stemming from a whole genre built around the core belief that video games are meant to be learned intuitively.

	Strider (arcade game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strider, also known as Strider Hiryu, is an arcade game produced by Capcom in 1989.
		In 1994, a PC Engine version of the game was developed by NEC Avenue, which adds a desert level to the game as well as CD-quality music and animated cutscenes, although the actual in-game graphics received a notable downgrade, especially in the backgrounds.
		In 1998, Capcom released the fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom, with Hiryu as one of the fighters.

		The original coin-op game runs on basically the same hardware as Street Fighter 2, and the way they've crammed the colors and animations down into the ST's video capabilities is a delight to behold.
		Strider is as full of references to Mother Russia as 1943 is to the land of the rising sun.
		There's not really much else you can say about Strider, because there is nothing special in the game idea; you battle through cities, through airborne fortresses, jungles and the icy wastes of Siberia in much the same way.

	Strider 2 review for the PS
		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.
		As it turns out, Strider 2 is yet another game that will not play on any Playstation that has been "modified." So if you have a mod-chip installed in your system, forget about it.

	Xtreme Classix - Strider
		Strider first made a name for itself in the arcades, which inspired ports to many home systems, as well as sequels and other games based on the Strider characters.
		Hiryu was the youngest strider of Super-A grade.
		Well, the answer is that Strider Hiryu was originally a character in an obscure Japanese comic book, and this game is based on his story-line from the comic, while the arcade version, which was later ported to Sega Genesis, features a very different plot about Communist dictators and alien invasion.

		Strider 2 could have been marketed as a 20 minute self-esteem builder for video gamers.
		Too many games are too hard these days, or have a steep learning curve, but Strider 2 is a piece of cake from the start.
		Strider is just the coolest guy around and he really looks the part.

	WomenGamers.Com - Because Women DO Play (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		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 is really just an old-school arcade game at heart, and it doesn't try to be anything more.

	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.
		The game is fairly short, with only five levels before the final showdown, but each level is perfectly paced, each set-piece memorable in its own right.

		As one of the first futuristic ninja games, Strider was a huge hit in the arcade, then at home.
		The 2D model was taken over to the side-scrolling Strider 2, a combo of a new Strider game and yesterday's classic.

	All-Reviews.com Videogame Review: Strider 2
		Strider 2 does not offer anything new or unique, but the gravity-free levels are fun anyway.
		The real issue with this game is whether or not you intend to use the continues.
		The game play of the sequel is remarkably true to its two-dimensional predecessor, but Strider 2 is best for hard-core fans.

	Cheat Code Central: PlayStation Video Game Review
		Strider 1 is completely intact and just as I remembered it from the arcade and Genesis many moons ago.
		The game is still a side-scroller but plays a lot like those 2.5D (not quite 3D) games like Pandemonium 1 and 2.
		Yes the games are great, but even with the replay factor of Strider 2, you probably won't be coming back to either game after a month or less.

		Describe Tetris to someone unfamiliar with the game (you move these twisted blocks around until they fill a line, but you can twist them and stuff and it’s really cool) and you might get laughed at, even if it is one of the most popular video games of all time.
		My favorite video game of all time is Capcom’s Strider (Arcade 1989), a fast-action arcade game in which you play an acrobatic swordsman infiltrating Russia.
		One game was really cool but, for the first time in a long time, I was actually intimidated by the game controls.

	MAWS - showing resource: striderj
		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.
		Strider Hiryu was resurrected in 1998 as a character in "Marvel vs. Capcom - Clash of Super Heroes".

		Strider Hiryu is from the video game, Strider, which first came out from Capcom in 1989.
		The theme of all the Strider games is similar to the theme of the 1952 bandw Western movie starring Gary Cooper, High Noon.
		In the movie, anime, or video game where the costume originally appeared, the costume might have been worn by actors for only a few minutes at a time, or perhaps the action scenes used lots of computer animation instead of a living actor wearing a costume.

	Strider 2 (psx: 2000): Reviews
		The double set of "Strider 1" and "2" is an excellent starter kit for the uninitiated, but for veterans of the series, it's like dinner without the dessert.
		Even with "Strider 1" as a bonus game, it shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours to complete both games, and there isn't much to make you want to play the games again.
		The difference is purely in level design, which is creative and interesting in the first game ("Strider") and pure crap in the second.

		After all, Hiryu's Strider clan is a direct descendant of the traditional ninja—why not exploit the possibilities the premise introduces and allow him to sneak around and beat the enemy with his brains as well as his sword?
		Strider 2 comes in a two-disc set—one disc for Strider 2, and the other for the original Strider arcade game.

		For those going through the game the first time (or after several tries), the game is very difficult with many nasty surprises popping up when you least expect it.
		Strider 1 can also be completed in a similar time period.
		However, it is such a short game that you can easily finish it and unlock the secrets during a three day rental period.

		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 18 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.

	Strider 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This game bore little resemblance to the original game, and had a different main character, Hinjo (as Hiryu was owned by Moto Kikaku, not Capcom, therefore was not a part of this licensing deal).
		In 1999, Capcom put Strider Hiryu in the roster of their fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom, soon noticing that the character was one of the most popular ones among players; that probably made them decide to develop another sequel.
		A game usually regarded as the "spiritual sequel" of Strider is Cannon Dancer, also known as Osman, which was developed by Mitchell Corp. in 1996 and created by Isuke, game planner of the original Strider title.

		Strider 2 uses both 3D polygon elements and 2D graphics in the sequel.
		Strider still maintains his classic moves from double jumps, dashes, slides, somersaults and more and now even has an all-new move… the devastating Midare-Giri Slash!
		Arriving on 2 discs, including two complete games and retailing for around $30, this game is a great value --- Especially for classic arcade fans.
