Capcom's legendary coin-op was converted on to the Master System and met with a very decidedly lukewarm reception from the Mean Machines boys.

Jaz: As it stands, even the biggest fans of the coin-op will be very disappointed.

Matt: To say I'm disappointed with this is the greatest understatement of the year. Strider may have smooth scrolling and okay sprites, but the playability is sadly lacking.

Jaz: I thought it was flaccid then, and it looks flatulent now. Graphics and sound down by 12%, playability 54%, lastability 42% and overall 47%. Whichever way you look at this, it's simply a very farty game.

Rich: I think the reviewers were more than generous with this limp conversion of the arcade giant. It got a pretty average mark, but looking at it now, I see a below average game. Deduct 15% from each mark.
