I'm shooting for a "tween" game that's not too old, but not too new.  1989.  Hopefully, that should satisfy the old fogies & the young 'uns.

When I first saw Strider at the Red Baron Arcade in the Franklin Park Mall back in Toledo, OH, I remember being blown away by the graphics, the style, the ability to climb & hang & flip around, the vibrance of the enemy characters, & the grandiose & complex environments.




ROMSet: strider, Strider US Set 1

DEFAULT DIP Switch Settings:

Difficulty: 4 (normal)

Bonus Lives: 20k, 40k, every 60k

Internal Diff on Life Loss: Default

Lives: 3



----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

- One credit only.

- No continues!

- No MAME cheats!

- Last day is Sunday August 22th (11:59:59pm Pacific Daylight Time), 2010.
 
- High score wins.

- No savestates, savestate practices, etc. during the round.

- MAME INP recordings are optional, but encouraged!

- A screenshot is required to enter a score (press F12 to save screenshot showing your final score) or take a photo of the screen if playing on a real machine.

- If you're a MARP competitor on this title, keep in mind this is just a friendly competition amongst forum members, so maybe you shouldn't enter. However, if you're a forum member and this is a game you're good at and nobody knows about it, this is your time to shine!

- Even if you don't have a competitive score or if you don't *think* that you have a competitive score, please post it anyway to keep the thread fun & to give everybody a good sense of score ranges.

Good luck!




I'll start off the scores with an unofficial entry of 34,000.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

The first time I saw Strider (Malibu Grand Prix in Houston) was also the first time I'd seen a 25" monitor. I was doubly blown away.

I've never been any good at this game, though I've always loved it.

RayB: when I beat the 3 dancers on the top of the airship, I usually take a hit or two.  I just go in swinging & hope I get them before I get me (and hope that I have a couple of hit points left).

OK, no official scores yet, so here's a bump & a challenge.  My best score so far: 68,400.  Had a really good game.

Honest, I picked Strider just b/c it's a cool game--I've never played it competitively or anything.

Come on, somebody post a score--how about you folks who rocked Black Dragon?  That's a similar game & I couldn't get anywhere even remotely close to those top scores.


Thanks,
-Jason

I got around 35,000
but man 68 damn I'm going to have to work a little harder

As for the Dancers if you do the slide attack just as they land from a jump you can take em down easy
although I still haven't perfected the timing enough to get all 3 without taking a little damage, but I have made it out of there with only one hit

Wow, I'm lousy!

And he seems to be playing on a harder skill level (more bombs falling on the little helicopters on the way up to the airship), & he skips killing lots of the bad guys.


I guess the morals of the story are:
1 - walking is for chumps--just slide all over the place!
2 - don't lose your little helpers--they do all the work for you!

I noticed as I played that if you have the helpers the game is harder, like more bombs fall and the wall droids are much faster, so I think he's still on normal

Great scores guys - despite playing as a kid I can't get beyond 10k in my first couple of attempts.

Slightly off topic, but has anyone managed to get Strider 2 going without slowdown? It also looks pretty fun.

You just need a fast processor. My Dual core at 3.5ghz runs it very smoothly.

After playing some more Strider last night (don't worry, 59k was my best last night!), I played some Strider 2.  It plays pretty terribly on my machine (sound stutters & very low framerate).

Wow, I forgot how cool they made Strider 2!  Great use of 3D environments that are navigated like a 2D game.  Cool bosses.  The game froze after about 10 minutes or so--dang.  The one complaint that I have w/ Strider 2 is that you can't walk & slash at the same time--you stop walking when you start wailing on the sword button--that's a pretty big departure from the game mechanics of Strider 1...

Jason - same here, although was mostly unplayable due to the stutter/slowdown.

What specs are you sporting on your MAME PC?

Again, sorry to be Off Topic, but this is the only Strider thread I found :)

Back On Topic - 59k is a sick score.

The Infernolab MAME PC:
Intel Pentium 4 1800MHz 1.79GHz, 1GB RAM
Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2

Dude, it's a Dell!

When I run Strider 2 or other games that my computer can't handle, I do it like so: mame strider2 -autoframeskip.

Autoframeskip does a decent job of skipping enough frames to keep the game running at its intended speed.  Decent, not great.

Thanks,

 :badmood:

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.

Btw, Strider 2 will play great on almost any PC using the playstation based emulator Zinc.



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

Zinc is an arcade emulator that plays all the PSX based arcade games (tekken, SFEX, etc).  You even get hardware acceleration and higher resolutions.  Only problem with it is it has no NVRAM save.  And its a pain to set up. It plays the mame rom (probably an older version of the rom).
