Been playing through a nice load of Capcom related games over the last couple of weeks - Bionic Commando, Mega Man 2 (still my favourite game ever), LED Storm (under rated in my opinion) and I'm now onto Strider and its many ports - of which the Master System version seems too cut down for its own good (barely any enemies in the levels, and the first boss slows the game almost to a stop). No continues either, so it took about a half dozen tries to master each level before I could clear the entire game. The Mega Drive version though is great - very close to the arcade version and great fun - only issue I have with the arcade/MD version is the tail end of the final level - the final jump before reaching the boss gauntlet has an evily placed robot that knocks you off the narrow platform if you even get a bit too close to him... doesn't help that the MD port forces you to beat Solo rather than just run from him. Otherwise its a class act, pity US Gold had to release that hideous "sequel".
