Developed by Tiertex and published by U.S. Gold, Strider II arrived on the Sega Master System as a platformer.
It is part of the Strider series; on the Master System you can also try Strider. The series also appears on other systems with Strider (Genesis) and Strider (PS1). Tiertex also made Winter Olympics, World Cup USA '94 and Star Wars for the Master System.
Strider II is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to run, jump and explore
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you've played the Master System hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Strider II is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
