Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
The original Strider is one of Capcom's best-known arcade titles from the late 80s. The sword-slashing acrobatics and platforming were quite unlike other coin-ops at the time, and whilst it's not my favourite Capcom game, there's no denying it had a cool aesthetic.

What we have in Strider II, however, is a sequel developed exclusively for home computers and consoles of the day. I think US Gold had secured a publishing license with Capcom which allowed them to develop and publish conversions of the arcade giant's games, but also to develop titles based on their IP.
