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.

- 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.

Ginsu Victim:
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.

Bender:
Love that game! Great choice!!! :cheers:
I'll have to hurry up and put my machine back together so I can post a score before they get out of hand

RayB:
Great choice. Game on!

Ps: "allow continue" is a dipswitch option. Setting mine to NO for the duration of this.

RayB:
What kind of game is this not rewarding for time remaining??

I can barely break 22k
