Strider (Genesis) - Hard (Part 1/3)

[THEsyntheticFresh]

shit, i wasted much money on the strider recreative

[Monkey4sac916]

Dued, this game is Hard as shit! I could never get past the metal gorilla.. lol...

[MEGAXSTU]

1:04 Hiryu Vs. Guile

[hugocasarrubias]

got this on sega the other day with box and manual ....time to have fun ....

[Volviert]

The arcade version was jaw dropping

[Xinn2000]

This game was expensive as hell back then. Even though it was good, it wasn't worth it.

[Mr843yessir]

i wish xbox360 would make this avaliable for download

[domedoesntlie]

I hate the sound it makes when you "fall"... It reminds me of the first time I played it and couldn't get past the Siberian level

[anuslee]

Thanks to Youtube i get to see everything i miss.

[RandomReviewer272]

Great game, but I STILL CAN'T beat Hard Mode... Stage 5 (last stage) is insane!

[BODOspidey666]

A very under-rated game... It deserves a remake with better story and more levels

[redfoxbennaton]

I hope in the next Strider game you can cut through most generic enemies in one cut without stopping unlike in Devil May Cry or in Ninja Gaiden. With little beat em up elements.

[wetalloy]

reminds me of sonic a little bit

[KurtAmbrose]

OMFG I remember this game... the best that I ever had.

[LordRockman82]

The one I had he was wearing all white.

[IngialV]

Buggering about in Siberia without a coat on? Not using the sense he was born with

[voxdeihn]

good memories with this game, thx

[melvoin]

NES version was better

[vedder316]

Best music in a game to this date!

[Y0mAMa5957]

This game was so hard on Normal mode for me. I can't even imagine how insane Hard mode is when I try it out. Love Strider, but damn its a challenging game.

[leobeduschi]

WOW!!!

[dearestjen]

This game went SO HARD!!! I loved it!

[mistertitanic]

I hear this is the best genesis game. is it true?

[XSC3]

it's up there... as far as 1 player action games go!

[dearestjen]

Nope. Sonic the hedgehog was the best.

[VBabareno]

cornball

[dearestjen]

what's cornball?

[VBabareno]

That you would like a game about a hegdehog over a futuristic ninja,I don't know what do you think?

[dearestjen]

Yeah, I would because I grew up with sonic mostly. So I prefer sonic. It was my first game i've ever played and also got me into gaming.

Strider was an awesome game too and I very fond memories playing it as well.

[VBabareno]

My first game was pitfall for atari

[dearestjen]

awesome. I never played any atari games because I was born in 1991. lol.

[PipoPrincess123]

Oh man, I used 2 play this when I was a kid! Brings back memories!

[vicj0r]

The Genesis sounds are not as good as the arcade. The arcade was crisp.

[DooderMcAltair]

Very true, but the arcade version lets you buy your way through the tough parts. Seeing a Genesis run leaves me more impressed.

[lekaslex]

OMG I remembe this one. One of the first 8 meg games for Genesis. I bought this for $80 and completed it in one day on hard mode. What a waste of money. Cool graphics though

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Great game with cheesy box art.

[klaitu2]

What's all that grunting he's doing? its not like that on my copy.

[mcsvideos]

It's because the sword's sound isn't perfectly emulated in the Gens, the emulator that i used for this record.

[amotomen]

@mcsvideos if i don't remember bad, the sound is different on the japanese version.

also, the music on some levels, battleship balrog and the last level before fighting meio, got different musics too.

in usa version, they repeat the music from the first level on that parts of the game.

and, well, the grunting it's hiryu when he uses the cipher(sword)

it happened too with the arcade version.

and, well, mate! outstanding playing!!!! strider it's not an easy game!!!

[cosmonal]

@mcsvideos The japanese version had this grunting! The emulation is perfect. @klaitu2 only knows the american version :) I prefer the japanese, mostly because of this voice.

[mcsvideos]

@cosmonal Wow, i don't yet played the american version of this game so much. I think the grunting was the sound of the sword in the Gens emulator, that i used in this video.

[cosmonal]

@mcsvideos I think the grunting he means is the 'dog' like sound, the voice that follows the sharp, high frequency sword noise :) The Gens emulator you used is perfect, the sound is 100% accurate. The american version doesn't had the character shouting while he attacks, just the sword noise. Anyway, great playthru, never tried on hard :)

[Bloodreign1]

@mcsvideos No the emulations fine, in the Japanese version Hiryu yells as he swings his cyphe.

[WeskerSega]

This is the Japanese version. Your copy is the western version (either American or European). The Japanese version has extra grunts for the characters which, for some reason, aren't in teh western versions. That happens both with the original Arcade and Mega Drive port.

[Jac2Mac]

Also, the Sega logo in the US version looks very ugly compared to the Japanese version and is the same Sega logo used in Quackshot.

[malitano]

loved this game. awesome music

[andalona]

Still one of my fav' Genesis games of all time. I first played it in the arcades!!. Now, I have the Japanese Sega Mega Drive version (why? because it has extra voice samples not found in the US version). You guys should also check out Strider 2 for the PS One! I got the PS-X version too!! Ahhh Strider rocks!!

[rfgstl]

This is a badass game, I love it. I used to play the arcade version when i was in junior high at a gas station across the sreet from my school...damn I am old lol. I played it in Genesis too!

[Spikenhammer]

Love this game!! i used to play it everyday before class in jr. high!brings back great memories.

thanks for uploading

[NeroShade]

Brings back so many memories.

[Evilmonkey66699]

Man this brings back memories this game was a big deal when it came out for the Genesis back in the day, Not only because it had great game play, graphics, and sound but also because the size of the cart(not pyshical mind you) a whopping 8-megs, now a days it doesn't seem like much but back then it was the largest game done at the time.

[billie874]

I never own a Genesis, so I play this game in arcades a lot when I was a kid, I remember it was hard but awesome!!

[akiratubo]

Best game ever. Great music, great visuals, decent plot, and Hiryu is the biggest badass ever.

[Kyntteri1]

I used play this a lot when I was a kid. Though I never could get past those squishing walls. Now it feels like something important has not been accomplished :)

[KazuyaPrower]

One of the best Genesis games ever made!

[puppetmaster983]

The best Genesis game ever!

[RealityCheck05]

@KazuyaPrower A classic.

[bogercs]

Just look at the size of his sword! That's what makes the game popular.

[ArmpitNoises]

God this game ruled.

Thanks for posting this. It brings back fond memories.

The music was just amazing in this game.

[bilalmerei]

guys i remeber this game and plz let me know if i can download it cz i was searching for it from a long time and didn't find it..so plz help me..thank u

[mcsvideos]

Look for emulators and roms. I like the Gens (Genesis/Mega Drive emulator).

[fawnha]

@mcsvideos The Callus Arcade version is great 2

[gumdeo]

Cool video.

[RainMan34]

Wow. Very well done. :)

[Nedio]
