Dam wish I had 200 posts.

[bob]

In for the case and manual. I have a loosey and will reraffle the disc for a low entry fee of $50.  (2 entries for $95)

[VenomMacbeth]

Fuuuuuu can I please?  Cthameslv gave me raffle blueballs I don't even need the obi, I'll give that away if I win.

Speaking of which, I need to go update my raffles & actually pick some vinners...

[Dicer]

So infor this,tis a shame this was never completed for SGX, but we will take what we can get...

[Gredler]

Another excessively generous raffle tooch, good on you brother I am not a arcade card owner, and would probably just burn this if I wanted to play it and did have the card, so don't enter me unless you buy me dinner first, or just don't enter me at all.

[Gentlegamer]

Milhouse is not a meme.

I'd like to enter this generous raffle.

[shawnji]

Aww, dang!  Cursed by my infrequent posting habits!  Good luck to everyone else!  I have the PSX Strider 2 that comes with a port of the first, so I can live with that I suppose.

[sirhcman]

please add me, thanks for the awesome raffle!

[PCEngineHell]

Already have this, so don't enter me on this one. Just wanted to say kudos man. +500 Turbokarma

[NightWolve]

Ah, Strider, I bought this used in the 90's for like $15 via the back of EGM magazines and calling random game shops. I did so under the assumption I'd eventually get an Arcade Card too, but that never happened, so I finally got to beat it years later when emulation took off and MagicEngine made it possible. Anyway, it's a fine game, but I'd rather download the arcade ROM set for MAME and play the real thing.

[wildfruit]

Don't enter me, I still haven't picked up an arcade card yet but maximum power to you sir!

[elmer]

OMG dude!!! How can you not have an Arcade Card!!!   

===================

Anyway ... I remember the Strider hype when I pre-ordered my Super Grafx.

Because of that disappointment, I never bought the ACD game when it came out ... but have always wanted to play it ... and always wondered how it would have looked on the Super Grafx.

Please enter me in the raffle.

Thanks for doing this!

Please enter me in the raffle. This is very generous. Thanks!

[reno5]

please add me, thanks

[PunkCryborg]

Damn Juicy! Sign me up, I have a spine for this so if I win my extra is up for grabs

[WoodyXP]

Sign me up.  I want to see if it's as bad as people say it is.  Doesn't look bad at all from what I've seen on Youtube.  Could be better, yes, but still looks like a good game.

[nectarsis]

Much maligned but I miss it...enter me please

[Bernie]

Perfect!  Please do not enter me, as I just won a raffle.  Kudos to you for doing this!

Awesome raffle.  I'd like to join the raffle if I could please, thanks.

Two exclusive PCE stages in Strider! No, they aren't amazing, but it's interesting to see how PCE version could (and should) have been SO MUCH MORE BETTERS than the actual game we got.

Any fan of Strider should have fun comparing this to arcade and Genesis version.

I loved the Genesis version as a kid, and I don't know if the PCE can challenge it...but you will have to decide for yourself.

Definitely a curious title.

[SignOfZeta]

It should have been better than the arcade, frankly. It wasn't exactly a new game and the PCE has enough special powers at its disposal that it could have more than made up for any technical shortcomings it has compared to the original PCB. CD audio, nearly infinite storage, that kind of thing.

[PCEngineHell]

If Capcom had handled it it probably would have been closer to the arcade. NEC Avenue did however, and they tend to do stuff with their ports (add new content, and remix some things visually). As is though I still like this port more then the Mega Drive one. The MD one isn't perfect either. It has its own batch of issues, like no continues, details missing, as does the Genesis one (even less voice content and too easy, along with said graphical details missing that are gone on the MD version).

Real Strider fans are going to find charm and be attracted to any of the ports regardless. Anyone being super nit picky over either the PCE or Sega ports is just being anal and not paying the ports their due. All three ports are great fun. If you are a real Strider fan you can appreciate the ambition it had ot have taken to port the game over on anything. I mean, we are talking about Capcom here at their peak in arcade development. Stider is one of their greatest titles ever made. Knowing that going in had to cause a lot of stress for Sega and NEC Avenue.

[seieienbu]

I'd like to enter this raffle please and thanks!

[xcrement5x]

Damn, this is a hell of a raffle man.  Please sign me up as well

[Sparky]

yes please if it is not to late....i bet it is better then Strider on the Master System!

[LostFlunky]

Please put me down and enter me.

[turboswimbz]

I'm in I love firing up the old arcade card

[Mzo]

Already have this one, but good luck to everyone else!

It looks a little wonky but is still fun to play and has those badass PC Engine CD cutscenes.

[o.pwuaioc]

I'm in for this one, tucc. Thanks!

[Psycho Punch]

To be honest I never played strider aside from the first level on a Mega Drive years ago. I played Osman though, in an arcade even, which is unfairly obscure in my opinion.

Hop hop hop hop hop aaagh. I am king. I am the true king. I rule the world.

I ceirtainly want to try Strider even if the PCE port is worse than the Mega Drive version.

[sirhcman]

The MD one isn't perfect either. It has its own batch of issues, like no continues, details missing, as does the Genesis one (even less voice content and too easy, along with said graphical details missing that are gone on the MD version).

I've never played this game and was in chat talking to a few other people about it. lukester said there is actually only one exclusive level in the PCE port. He also mentioned the Genesis version is harder than the PCE counterpart but he never really mentioned why though *shrugs*

[PukeSter]

Siracha, it's because of the final level only. The first 4 levels are a breeze in the Genny port.

The pce version is also slower-paced, because bosses have dialogue. This is a little jarring. Movement is somewhat quicker though.

I like both ports. If the pce version had all the music then I would prefer it overall.

[EvilEvoIX]

Sign me up please, I'd love to see how it looks on the Duo.

[Medic_wheat]

After reading insight from other who have played it on this thread I am more interested in the game.


I honestly wasn't sure what to expect since I have the PS COPY OF IT AND strider 2 which to be felt like the de facto versions to own.


But now with talk of extra level game play and sprit work my interest is peeked.

[blueraven]

I already have this game, but +10 turbokarma points to you for raffling it off!! Good luck everyone!

WOW

[GohanX]

Hell, throw my name in the pot.

[PunkCryborg]

Wonder why the spines are always faded for this game?

[GohanX]

It's the orange, orange printing fades pretty quickly in the presence of any light.

The Genesis version is the easiest of the three. Its difficulty was watered down drastically from the Mega Driver version to such a degree that to match it you have to go into the options and set it to hard to equal the normal mode of the MD and PCE ports.  The content exclusive to the PCE is the extra desert stage, cd soundtrack, and somewhat animated cut scenes that were extended somewhat to  provide a more detailed story.

Also worth mentioning, Grandmaster is missing the digitized speech near the end on the Genesis, and Hiryu is silent during his attacks on the Genesis port. Basically if you want the best versions, its the MD and PCE one.

[geise]

I am actually glad they took out the voice when he swings his sword for pretty much all the US releases (arcade or console).  Got rather annoying

[TurboNeoSega]

Would love to get my hands on one. Nice!

[lwizardl]

please count me in on this, I just got a pce system so now I have access to playing both usa and imports
