Description
In Strider for the sega genesis, the player takes control of Strider Hiryu, a ninja-style
warrior who must defeat a legendary being known as Grandmaster Meio.
Meio has observed Earth from his dwelling in a far off galaxy, and has
created a space station (known as "The Third Moon"), between Earth and
its original moon in order to rule earth and continue observation. The
year is 2048. Armed with a Cypher (a razor-sharp blade, wielded
similarly to a tonfa which generates metal-cutting plasma) called
Falchion, Hiryu must travel around the globe (including the Soviet
Union and the Amazon Rainforest) to find and destroy the evil being.
Throughout his travels, Hiryu encounters many power-ups, including
robotic animals called "Options" (a hawk and a leopard) which help him
defeat enemies. He also has the ability to latch onto walls and
ceilings using a metallic hook — an aspect which set the game apart
from other platformers.
