Strider®

No início do século XXI, uma série de inexplicáveis acidentes arrasaram o continente europeu. Logo depois, a devastação chegou à América do Sul e do Norte. Os desastres estavam ligados à presença de criaturas extraterrestres, mas ninguém sabia de onde elas vinham ou quem as estava mandando à Terra.

Em algum lugar entre o nosso planeta e a Lua, apareceu uma estação espacial chamada "A Terceira Lua", criada pelo grande diabólico "Mestre Meio", o qual durante anos estudara meticulosamente os padrões de vida na Terra para melhor destruí-la.

Para a salvação da humanidade, restaram os Striders, uma tribo de homens com bons propósitos. Hiryu, o mais jovem, porém o mais valente deles, foi designado a combater esta destruição. A tribo temia a perda de seu maior herói, por isso, o feiticeiro concedeu-lhe uma espada de plasma letal e poderes sobrenaturais: ele corre, salta e desliza como ninguém. O que aconteceu então, só aventurando-se neste incrível cartucho para saber...

Strider

Take on all the explosive action of the arcade hit! You're Strider, a crunching hulk of muscle with a grappling hook and laser sword. You're in a future land of backward time, and its evil Master is taunting you with defeat.

Can you survive eight Mega of incredible danger? Hang-glide into the citadel, then clang your hook into metal to stiff-arm up to safety. Stay alive by slashing armies, winged robots, and prehistoric monsters into shuddering heaps!

Battle alluring Amazones who sling vicious boomerangs and drum out a war chant to turn your mind manic. Slide, duck, and cartwheel past lasers, spikes, and bombs. Screech to a halt in the face of giant metal monkeys and centipedes.

Feel your biceps burst as you grapple with snarling musclemen. Cling to battleship bulkheads. Leap from Tyrannosaurus Rex. It's Strider. The Master awaits.
