You had to be there, I guess. But Strider was a good arcade port of the arcade game, for it's time. It played just as good as the arcade game. For a 1990 release, it was a rock solid port, and is still a good Genesis game despite a few hiccups.

But, I did prefer games like Revenge of Shinobi and Shadow Dancer.

Yeah, I don't get it either. I mean, the concept IS cool as fuck and the aesthetic stands out from other ninja games of the time like Shinobi or Ninja Gaiden, but the movement always seemed kinda floaty, the sprites too big and killing enemies wasn't as satisfying as you would expect given the cool slashing effect.

I mean I get what you’re saying but, this game came out on a super small cart and was almost like the arcade at a time where nothing was almost like the arcade in your house.

Ya, it runs slower, and yes, off screen enemies suck, and yes, the transitions between level segments hitch or go to black but, this was a hell of an port at the time.

Strider was perfectly fine as an arcade port from 1990. Maybe one of the better ones on the Genesis/ Mega Drive at that point in time? Yeah, the sound effects could have been better. Maybe the port could have had a little more frames of animation. But the game played pretty well. The Genesis version of Strider is better than the one on the PC Engine CD ROM.

Some of the problems this game has can be traced back to the arcade version. The Arcade version is still the better way to play.

I'm a bit disappointing that Strider didn't make it on the Sega Genesis mini collection. I would have rather had it over Ghouls N Ghosts. Strider on the Genesis plays just as good as the arcade game, even though it is hindered a bit by screen crop. The Arcade game displays at 384x224 , while the Genesis game displays at 320x240. Not really a big differences. The PC Engine CD game displays at 256×239.
Strider was ported by Sega and they did a good gob for a 1990 release. There is a weird oddness with the game pausing half a second before and after boss fights. But nothing major. The game is loading up the next scene in memory. Strider can be a bit jarring, but the controls in the game are still great for a 1990 release. I think it is a fun game with some punishing deaths.

>There's literally no reason to play the inferior Genesis version today.

No, I agree the arcade original ROM will always be the best option. But for the longest time, the Genesis version was the best home port of the game.

There was a port of Strider on the PS1 (not an emulation, but a port) that was included as a free bonus with Strider 2. The PS1 port is quite good too, it displays at 368x224, which is still a little bit smaller than the arcade resolution. But not really noticeable. It plays and looks good too. But, the Genesis version still holds up really well against this port.

I honestly really like the Genesis port. It is a game that I would like to see a ROM hack for, that makes it look and sound closer to the arcade game.

It's just a simple straightforward, stylish and fast paced action game with interesting mechanics/physics for the time. It's not great, not bad. And complaining about trial and error, are you serious nigga? Not that it even has much of it besides the occasional part like the jump in stage 2, but even that is reactable if you're paying attention.

lol come on. The eject chair or whatever the hell that thing was is a dick move though I'll give him that. The controls are unusual for platformers, but it's a game that plays around with more advanced slop physics, acceleration and free wall/ceiling climbing, some awkwardness is to be expected. More of a matter of learning how the character interacts with the different elements in levels, once you know they really aren't a problem.
