This music has epic written all over it.

[IggyHazard]

I love the anti-communist message of this game!

\8-D

[HannesHansen]

Yeah, the music's great, too bad they messed up about everything else in this port. It's not entirely horrible, but you're much better off with the MD version.

[ObscurelyUnkown]

Loved NES one, ill have 2 check this out

Strider was awesome. Had the jap version on megadrive so I never knew the story line as it was written in japanese :). Loved it. They should bring it to live arcade

[trustobey1016]

thanks for the tip

[KronnangDunn]

It does. 2042 was the year Meio took over...

[trustobey1016]

i thought strider was set in 2048

[GypsyRed]

Hooray for my fave version of my fave song! (3:08)

Something about the PCE's version of the song at 5:50 really gives me a sense of coldness and vast isolation that I didn't get from the Genesis...

[GypsyRed]

HUGE, BIG LOVE for this version of Strider's OST. I remember being blown away when I first heard it. I was already familiar with the Genesis version, but this one left me drooling.
