For its era, ut was a great game. Yeah it has its bugs, slow downs and occasionnal glitches, but i found the overall experience of this game very enjoyable. Once you get the hang of the triangle jump, the game is worth a 20 to 30$ purchase for old school fans.

Strider to this day remains a classic Capcom title that many of us (30-somethings) can fondly remember from back in our middle-school days. Capcom had already set the bar high in NES titles throughout the life span of the NES, and this game is one of the early reasons why. The NES release, as opposed to the hit arcade version of the same name, played out more like an action adventure as opposed to a straight-out mindless slash em' up, featuring innovative things (at the time) such as multiple routes through levels, character power-ups, special moves, secret areas, and the like. One of the best features was having to obtain items, keys, etc from one level and have to go back to a previous level to use that item to gain access to a formerly locked area. You actually had to think a bit and use information gathered from allies and enemies. The levels were also huge and well designed, featuring freedom to go anywhere with no time limit, with full horizontal and vertical scrolling. This really gave me the sense that you were in an area with real dimensions, as opposed to other titles where you could only progress through a level horizontally to the right, and there was no going back to the left to gather missed items, etc. Although younger players will scoff at the dated graphics now, take into consideration how cutting edge half-screen tall sprites would have been in 1987. The slight anime-inspired feel to the characters and the game gave it a nice touch, too, which was very new for that day and age. The title and opening storyline music tracks were particularly notable. I'm sure anyone my age would have to admit that there is a plethora of little melodies from NES games they catch themselves humming now and then. Well, the title screen music music from Strider is probably my most notorious one. If I had one complaint to voice, it was be that the controls were not the best. At times, they seemed downright jerky or glitchy in places, with the player more fighting the at the controls themselves than the actual enemies. All in all, it was a good overall game with the right amount of difficulty, puzzle-solving, and action. For the price available on ebay these days, there's no reason why any NES or Capcom fan shouldn't have this one in their collection! -MattRead full review

A follow up to the arcade game of the same name, this takes a different approach with more storyline and different physics. One annoyance is its jumping feels awkward. It's tricky to judge where you're able to reach.
