Seen as this game is just about to get a reboot for the modern machines I thought it would be a good time to look at Strider:

Good game. Fine ports. I just have never played it much. Always preferred Shinobi.

From the looks of this, I'm imagining any ports of this done for the computers should be avoided like they were coated with liquid AIDS. Tiertex has that sort of effect on... well, everything.

Just because it's different then the arcade game doesn't make it an abomination! Hands down one of my favourite games on the NES. It's a Metroid style of game and it's awesomeÂ

Should note that the TurboDuo version adds a new CDDA soundtrack, animated cutscenes, and an extra level. It needs the JPN arcade card though. It might not be the best version, but worth tracking down for the extras if you're a big Strider fan.

All the 8-bit conversions are awful, as is the DOS one.

Best versions is the MD one IMO but the ST and Amiga version hold up well too.
