Strider, known as Strider Hiryuu (ストライダー飛竜) in Japan, is an action game developed by Capcom and released for CPS arcade hardware in 1989. It was subsequently brought to home consoles and computers, including the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Master System.

Story

Strider MD, Grandmaster Meio.png

Grandmaster Meio

It is the 21st century. Earth is ravaged by series of ecological disasters that claimed the lives of millions. Out of the catastrophe, one man took control of what remains of the human race: Grandmaster Meio, a seemingly immortal and omnipotent man who is worshiped as a living god by his followers. With science, military, and even nature itself on his side, Meio declared himself Emperor and formed the center of his empire in the Kazafu City, a massive city located in the Eastern Europe. He rules the world with an iron fist.

The only force that can stop this man is the Striders, a group of highly talented operatives who are skilled in infiltration, sabotage, and assassination. The Striders initiated a massive assault on Meio's forces, but despite their skills, all of them were cut to the last man.

Enter Strider Hiryuu, the youngest man to ever complete the hellish Strider training program with an A rank and the only Strider left alive. Armed with his lethal plasma sword, climbing equipment, and a small amount of robotic weapons, Hiryuu must face insurmountable odds and save humanity from the clutches of an evil god.

Gameplay

Mega Drive version

Strider is an action platformer. The protagonist, Hiryuu, an agile ninja armed with a cypher, a plasma sword with a tonfa-like hilt. Hiryuu moves with Left and Right and crouches with Down. Pressing A or C while Hiryuu is standing still does a regular vertical jump, while pressing Left+A/C or Right+A/C does a cartwheel jump. Hiryuu can also slide under or through certain obstacles and enemies with Down+A/C. As well as his sliding move, both jumps can also be used to destroy weaker opponents. Hiryuu is able to latch onto certain platforms and climb across walls and ceilings using a metallic hook. While running down a sloped surface, Hiryuu can gain enough momentum to allow him to do a longer cartwheel jump than usual.

Hiryuu's main armament is his cypher, Falchion, which he can swing with B. Hiryuu can swing his cypher while jumping or crouching. The blade does damage in a wide area in front of Hiryuu, which can be further extended by items. In addition, Hiryuu can find items that summon robotic companions known collectively as "options" that help him fight enemies. These consist of up to two mushroom-like droids, a saber-toothed robotic tiger, and a robot hawk.

Stages are divided into a number of smaller sections. Stages have a 90-second time limit that is reset when the player reaches certain checkpoints. Hiryuu has a three-point health gauge (which can be increased up to five points by finding items). Hiryuu loses a life if his health gauge is fully depleted, if he falls into a bottomless pit, or if the game's timer reaches zero. The game ends when all of Hiryuu's lives are lost. The Western versions of the game give the player three continues, but the Japanese release only has continues if a cheat code is entered.

Options

Strider MD, Options, Saucer.png
 Option A
A mushroom-shaped drone with legs that follows Hiryuu around and attacks enemies. It shoots a ring-shaped projectile whenever Hiryuu swings his blade. It is found by collecting its item from an item container. Hiryuu can have up to two of these at a time. When he finds one, it turns the rightmost green health block to red and lasts until that red health block is lost or until Hiryuu loses a life.
Strider MD, Options, Panther.png
 Option B
A robotic feline resembling a saber-toothed tiger. It can be found in item containers if Hiryuu already has two Option As. It replaces the red health blocks with yellow and replaces the Option As for a duration or until Hiryuu takes damage.
Strider MD, Options, Hawk.png
 Option C
A robotic hawk that circles the skies and dives to attack foes. Unlike the other options, it spawns directly from an item container (without needing to pick up an item) and does not change the color of any of Hiryuu's health blocks. It lasts for a short duration.

Master System version

The game is simplified from the arcade version and the Mega Drive port. Hiryuu moves with Left and Right and crouches with Down. He swings his cypher with 1 (which can be done while jumping or crouching). He jumps up in the air with 2 and does a cartwheel jump with Left+2 or Right+2 that covers more horizontal distance. Hiryuu can latch onto certain platforms and climb across walls and ceilings using a metallic hook. Hiryuu can find items that summon a robotic companion called an option to follow him and attack enemies. This version of the game only allows Hiryuu to have one option.

Stages are divided into a number of smaller sections, each with a 99-second time limit that is reset at certain checkpoints. Hiryuu has a three health points (which can be increased up to five points by finding items), shown in the top-right corner of the screen. Hiryuu loses a life if he loses all of his health points, if he falls into a bottomless pit, or if the game's timer reaches zero. The game ends when all of Hiryuu's lives are lost, and there are no continues.

History

Legacy

Multiple other versions of Strider exist, all of which (bar the aforementioned X68000 version) are widely considered to be less accurate than the Mega Drive version. Ports were made to the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS and ZX Spectrum. A PC Engine Arcade CD-ROM², version, exclusive to Japan and released in September 1994 could be considered the Mega Drive's closest rival, but still falls short due to a number of graphical omissions (in exchange for an extra level).

Strider was unofficially followed by U.S. Gold's Strider II, however Capcom later returned in 1999 to make a true sequel under the name of Strider 2. The character of Strider Hiryuu has also appeared in other Capcom games, such as 1999's Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, released among other systems for the Sega Dreamcast.

The Mega Drive version was also made available for the Wii's Virtual Console service in 2011.

Versions

The Sega versions of Strider were licensed from Capcom, but the Mega Drive version was developed internally at Sega and the Master System version was outsourced to Tiertex under Sega's production and supervision. Allegedly Sega was not given much support by Capcom, forcing the teams to rip graphics and reverse engineer arcade units to create both games (it is rumoured that practise was also in effect for Ghouls'n Ghosts and Final Fight CD, Capcom not partaking in Sega development on their own until Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition).

Mega Drive version

Strider was brought to the Sega Mega Drive relatively early in the system's lifespan, debuting in late 1990. It was seen as one of the hard hitting 16-bit action games designed to encourage users to migrate from Nintendo's NES to Sega's console, boasting high definition graphics and recorded speech samples. It was the first 1MB (8Mb) ROM cartridge released for the system, making it one of the largest cartridge-based video games available at the time.

The comparison between Mega Drive and NES is striking when discussing Strider, as despite Capcom having a hand in both developing and publishing the Nintendo version, the console's technical restrictions led to an entirely different game. Meanwhile the Mega Drive version was for a while the most accurate home arcade conversion available to consumers (inevitably superseded by a X68000 version in November 1992).

The most noticeable differences in the Mega Drive version are the slower attack speed (especially when hanging from the ceiling) and lower acceleration (meaning the jungle stage and final stage's inverse gravity section require different approaches to that of the arcade). Like its arcade counterpart, the western versions lacks Hiryuu's "Ha!" shout while attacking with the cypher.

There are also slight differences between regions; when playing up to the boss rush section of the final stage without losing a life in the Japanese Sega Mega Drive version, there is a high chance that Ouroboros (stage one boss), normally transporting the player to the place of the final battle, will not appear. The player has to deliberately lose a life to respawn Ouroboros. This issue was apparently fixed in the Western versions. Continues may be used in the Western versions whereas the Japanese release requires the player to input a cheat code to enable them, and the famous line, "All sons of old gods, die!", spoken by the final boss, was removed from the Western versions.

Strider is one of the few Sega Mega Drive games that has noticeable load times during stages. The game stops for about half a second when new background graphics or big enemies, like boss characters, appear. It also features an original ending scene.

Master System version

This port is made by Tiertex, who was also responsible for the Master System version of Strider II.

Unlike its NES counterpart, the Master System Strider is a compacted version of the arcade game, with simpler graphics and sound as is to be expected of the console. It is known, however, to suffer from heavy slowdown when the engine is under stress, so much so that simply attacking will cause the frame rate to drop. Most of the backgrounds are replaced with simple black and cutscenes appear with no rhyme or reason with "No one defeats the master" repeated over and over again. The ending is also nonsensical as it implies that the entire game was a simulation for the real mission. This "simulation" story is also confirmed in the Master System manual of Strider II. Because of these shortcomings, the Master System version is usually considered the worst port of the original game.
