so are you playing a playstation version or does Zinc play the mame rom?

Strider 2 seems to be a PSX release: http://www.amazon.com/Strider-2-Sega-Dreamcast/dp/B00004SWLY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1282267753&sr=8-1
Not a cheap one, though...

By the way, part of the trick is never getting hit. You lose a helper when that happens. On level one, if you never get hit and you manage to find all the bonus containers, you end up with a robotic jaguar. Very useful to have. But I only ever got it once. I can't beat the dancers. They take cheap shots. :angry:

I never really noticed what the jaguar & bird do--they just seem to cruise around & distract me--do they actually hunt down & kill enemies?
When you pick up a little robot helper, he "latches" to your current highest health bar box & that box turns red. If you get hit & lose that red box, you lose the helper.
So, if you want to be daring, get knocked down to 1 health bar box & then pick up your helpers & then pick up some health restorer. That way, you won't lose your helpers until you die.
I haven't had the guts to try this...

THe bird doesnt seem to do anything, but the jaguar hunts down whatever it can and destroys them in one shot.
By the way, those spider robots that shoot lasers give NO POINTS, so they are a waste of time.
