Product Specs

Description

A conversion of Capcom's hit arcade game, Strider for Genesis is the system's first eight-megabit cartridge. As Strider Hiryu, you must use your jumping, climbing, and slashing skills to battle a combination of robots, monsters, animals, and humans in the year 2089. Swing a powerful plasma sword, fire a grappling hook to scale heights, and display your agility through five levels of play. Your ultimate goal is to confront and defeat the evil Grand Master Meio, who plans on conquering Earth from his space station near the moon. Venture across such locales as Siberia, the Amazon, and a flying fortress while finding power-ups to lengthen your sword, summon robotic allies, and more.
