07.30.2010 - 21:07 | TBTabbyPlanning on a game with a really difficult end boss next?

This is one i missed back in the day. Glad I could watch THE LordKat play though it.
Indeed, it does look very hard. I liked the ending cinematic.
(and i just saw that you have a Rhondo of Blood video, so i shall now take great pleasure in watching that one next.)
the hell, where'd it go?

I played the NES version...and beat it, more than once.
I think this was one of the first games I would just beat to avoid boredom.

07.30.2010 - 21:52 | weaseltonAlmost wonder if the end boss is sort of a gift to folks who already went through the game and died, a lot.

[color=green]In my opinion I thought the genesis version of Strider had a good ending...great UWW. I was only able to beat this on easy..I'm gonna give hard a shot.[/color]

Love the game, have for years. I personally hope we see an arcade port to the XBLA or PSN. That or that awesome PS1 sequel that had the game included.

This game has ball-bustingly awesome music. :music:

It's been like 20+ some years since I played it. You brought me some nice memories and thanks to your video I'm now sure I finished it XD I couldn't actually remember :p.

07.31.2010 - 00:07 | CtuGreat vid. I had/played this game on NES and have yet to beat it :(

I like when you play awesome games, its more satisfying to see you beat a legitimate challenge rather than struggle through a flawed piece of crap with bad hit detection or glitches or bad level design or something. I also love seeing you take on genesis games since its the system I had growing up. I hope you take on some of my other favorites like Comix Zone or Vectorman 2.
Actually, that airship level really reminded me of the Wing Fortress Zone from Sonic 2, weird.

07.31.2010 - 01:17 | SpotTheShingoYet another example of an anticlimax boss. (Confused? Go here: http://tvtropes.org/ pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ AnticlimaxBoss)
Hope no one else has thought of this, yet...

STRIDER! /Fanboy yelp
Great choice LordKat. I never beat this one either sigh.

Wow. You picked one of the grandaddies of all hard games and did it well. Nice video.
Incidentally, Strider is one of my favorite characters in MvC2.
-
07.31.2010 - 02:13 | Neo_GenesisI have never been able to beat this game. I always run out of continues long before I get close to the end. I think the farthest I got was stage 4, and im still proud of even that achievement!
I could 'cheat' my way through by using save game states on an emulator, but there's something more enjoyable about playing this on the original console with the Genesis pad.

Strider? Hell Yeah! Great choice for UWW Jason.

Great vid, LordKat, but I couldn't help noticing that you've not saw fit to grace us with your visage. I seem to remember you mentioning that your camera broke...
Oh well, probably not important. I go!

oooooh
Man was this game unholy.
It had great graphics but boy did it piss me off in every way that I didn't want to.
It pisses you off from the first stage,
there are so many projectiles,
the hero is pretty big for a side-scroller which makes it harder to dodge things,
you can't control your movement during a jump... which makes it look easy although it's really hard.. like 'Ghosts and Ghouls'.
The hero is really weak despite the fact that there are parts impossible to pass without getting several hits..
It's just full of stress and no enjoyment.
I got all the way to the last level but couldn't pass the reverse gravity part with a hundred drills.
I really wished there was a cheat code cause this game does not deserve the effort.
Thanks for the review.
Finally saw the ending.

07.31.2010 - 04:33 | adel123456789i remember playing this game. i only got to the ship part.
when i was a kid i played a game on my gameboy. i don't remember it's name but in it you are a ghost that takes over other bodies in order to win the level were you can use their abilities for your advantage. if i remember right, you start off the first level with the option of possessing a guy who shots bullets, or a woman who kicks, or a dog.

Happy to see you doing more genesis games, we sega kids from the console wars were feeling left out! :P
-
07.31.2010 - 07:05 | SpyHunter29Believe it or not, I actually hated this game. The controls are *not* nearly as natrual as LordKaT led them on to be. I played the arcade version on GameTap and beat it; at least [i]that[/i] had infinite continues.

07.31.2010 - 07:48 | CjalFunnily, I have this (Sega Genesis Version) and Manual. Never could beat it, but then I didn't have the patience to play Until [s]We[/s] I Win. Something interesting is that, at least for the original Genesis Cover in the US, it's a purple Spandex Dude running away from two people who look an awful lot like "Beakie" Space Marines from Warhammer 40K ( http://www.pwned.com/ gamecovers/segagenesis/ f28dc44652f98b198f8360c67 5952421-Strider.jpg The guy on the left).

07.31.2010 - 07:55 | Mr.StillmanHow about Contra, without the 30 man code, until we die. Alot.

Reverse gravity? This game's a ripoff of Super Mario Galaxy! Yes it is, I don't even care if it was made years before SMG!
Congrats on beating Strider. I'm guessing that eating that bull penis gave you the power to dodge past all those projectiles.
