A killer app for the Sega Genesis almost 20 years ago this was a great port of the arcade game pixel perfect. It didn't have the voices from the arcade but that was just funny anyway no huge loss. There is slow down which is a nuisance but I have a problem landing my jumps but at certain times all this can be overlooked becuse the gameplay is very good. Strider's sprite is larger than the arcade version the sword swipe is better the ending is way better but out of voices being took out and the slow down and landing jumps problem it remains unchanged from the arcade aside from the the better ending on the Genesis version. You should check out both on the Capcom Classics collection vol 2 on PS2 or on Strider 2 which comes with Strider 1 on the PS1 but play this version on the Genesis it's probably the best out of all the version's of Strider 1.

Strider was an arcade classic action title featuring a ninja with an extremely large sword swipe attack. He could cut through robots and giant androids like a hot knife through butter. Still a blast to play, still some of the best graphics on the Genesis, and the best translation from the arcade game.

Strider may not be as well known as Mario or Sonic but that didn't stop this masterpiece from making its mark on the video game world.
Insanely difficult game play.
Gorgeous graphics.
A very rewarding game from start to finish, just expect a few "broken out of sheer frustration" controllers along the way.
Recommended.

Haven't gotten too much time to play it, but when I do it's really addicting and fun!

Slightly dated, jumping controls are not exactly the best, but still a must buy for anybody who owns a Genesis/Mega Drive.

If you recognize my Amazonian, then you are a true Strider. I still have this annoying line spewed out by the Amazonian women going through my head like 20 years later. Had to write this review. Also, the pirrhanas were sick. I liked to commit suicide just to see them eat me alive. Come on, you know you did it too!
