Play Strider Hiryuu (Japan) Online
You slash through waves of enemies with a plasma sword that feels just as snappy as the arcade, even if the Genesis chokes a little when things get wild. Every jump and attack matters—this isn’t the kind of game that lets you button-mash your way through.

Game Overview
Strider Hiryuu on the Genesis is one of those classic arcade ports that somehow still feels slick despite the slowdowns. Yeah, it chugs a bit when things get chaotic, but the core gameplay—slashing through enemies with that iconic plasma sword—holds up surprisingly well. The Japanese version isn’t drastically different from the US/EU releases, just some minor audio tweaks, but if you’re a stickler for details, it’s the one to go for.
It’s not the definitive version (the arcade original still wins there), but for a 16-bit adaptation, it nails the speed and fluidity of Hiryu’s movements. Just don’t expect a cakewalk—this one’s got that old-school bite where every jump and slash counts. If you’re into retro action with a side of challenge, it’s a solid pick.
