Arcade Longplay [052] Strider

Played By: ScHlAuChi
Originally i wanted to do a run without helper robots, but that was to hard, so i deciced to do one without ever losing health or getting hit.
Thats also the reason why i stay so long at the big metalballs, cause when you attack them right away they hurl you around, smash you into walls and you lose health. -

I love how Hiryu's response to a giant aerial battleship is "You're sending a toy into battle?" when he's just a single man with a plasma not-actually-a-sword. Old video game protagonists are ridiculously hardcore.

One of the most amazing feat. in this game is that there are 4 languages used ! :

This game still looks fresh. It looks like something an indie developer would make as a love letter to the 90s.

[@MoxieCatte]

This game has the best introduction of all time. Dat laugh.

This game would have made an amazing film. The music at the beginning of level 2 still puts chills up my spine! Love it!

[@CasualRemy]

The sound of Strider's sword is the best sound in the game

who played this when the sega genesis version first came out in 90? My mind was blown!

Strider is most definitely one of the best games Capcom gave us back in the old days. While the franchise is best known for this arcade game, it originally started as a manga back in 1988, which told the story of Strider Hiryu. His name literally means "Flying Dragon". I love this game. And I think it still holds up wonderfully today. Yes, the controls have aged a bit, and it doesn't seem as responsive. But otherwise, it's still a great game after many years later. Eventually, Capcom made the long overdue sequel to this game, Strider 2. And I saw trailers for the new Strider game by Double Helix. And it looks pretty awesome. I hear that it's already out. So I'll definitely be trying out that game when I get a chance to.

One my all-time fav arcade games. The animation & movement was spectacular, esp for 1989-90. Even the music was memorable. Strider was maybe ahead of it's time IMO.

Back in the day, this game made me rage quit an arcade. One of the toughest games I've ever played.

This game was not that easy. Who ever this is they are nice. I spent way too many quarters in this game.

[@Einhander49]

The way he says I GOT YOU! Only to end up dying within seconds, lol.

[@Klausvans]

This game is really representative of the cold war of that time between USA and USSR, but we were too young to really understand that! Now I really can! So good memories from my childhood!

The plot in this game is absolutely brilliant, if anyone have missed it due to poor dialogue scene management. By the end of the game the Kzach minister, Amazon leader woman and Pirate-like military leader are all, in a way, hoping for Strider to free the world from Grandmaster Meio's tyrany (All Sons of old Gods, Die!"). The game is a clear criticism against fascism.

that laugh. man that used to piss me off

[@hazchem1]

Had to watch this to see how to get over the downhill snowy slope and over that jump on level 2. Great port onto the Genesis. Practically perfect.

[@Hero11170]

My favorite arcade game from 1990
