Strider Returns Part 1

Yes, you heard me right. I am playing Strider Returns on Sega Gensis/Megadrive emulator...

This game is perhaps one of the most annoying games ever created in all aspects. Gameplay is horrible and difficult of the game itself is insane and unfair. Most areas of games require quite alot of trial and error as you move forward. Part one is here.

First level is called The Forbidden Forrest. Level is pretty simple straight forward jumping around on trees and smashing the bad guys, nothing interesting really. Lucky enough, i got thru the whole level without dying once. Had one health left on boss battle, if i didnt have that energy i wouldve died right there (those bubbles around the character). Passing the level, showing the horrible voice acting and animation which is presented after the level.

Sorry about that i couldn't comment anything. I might say a word or two on second map, mostly swear words cause how hard it is, oh well. This was taken at first record with camstudio. I wasnt sure if i had both pc sounds and microphone sounds used. Appreantualy i had, i thought this wouldve been just a test but i did so well on first level that i decided this should be first part for this.

Next time, Castle Metropolis... Most horrible level ever designed.

I believe this was like a European sequel to Strider or something; change some crap around and turn it into crap, add a damsel in distress, etc. Of course, people despised it.

Capcom's only involvement in this piece of shit was the handing of the liscense over to U.S. Gold (what a mistake).

Strider 2 (the TRUE sequel) completely ignores this game, and for good reason.

Yes i have to agree with everything there, before i did this i searched around wiki's for information. There are some references on the true sequel to this.

I have this game, very underrated.

TOMORROW IS THE DAY YOU DIE

I had that game too when i was maybe about 7 years old or something. It was way too hard back then and never got past of second level even haha.

this game features some of the WORST cover art known to man.

[godfunk]

Worst. Sequel. Ever.

Doesn't even feel like the same game. The characters got a cut and paste job into painfully uninspired levels.

The programmers should be publicly flogged.

i was really into that character and his destiny :):) finished that bitch witch on the end only once... then my sega started to go sick .... cry :(

@godfunk dude its a good game so shut the FUCK up

[perdedoronline]

I remember playing this on Sega Channel back in middle school. :)

[stigfan35]

well....honestly, i say the game LOOKS good.

...but it fails as any from of strider sequel.

....if u.s gold had re-named the game to make it non-strider related, then it'd be better. (and the cover art could be cahnged aswell.

do any one has the code to this dam game i can't not find it any where

[Akutare]

Plus, that ain't Hiryu, it's Hinjo! The Strider Poser!

[ScoobyDigites]

I remember playing the first stage and taking it back to funcoland the next day and got streets of rage now that's a game that still to this day is aging well. Even the guy in the store said I had a feeling you'd be bringing it back.

[chaseman94]

This makes the NES version of Strider look and feel superior than this P.O.S. excuse of a game.

[MysticArksRevenge]

@AAZMrocker That's what happens if you let crappy ENGLISH developers do ports or sequels of Japanese Made game franchises....

[Snotnarok]

This is the game I played on Sega Channel, now I know why I said I hated Strider, I saw the first one recently for the first time and was like WOAH what the hell is this? It looks great. Unlike this.
