Don't know what happened to that creativity they used to have, but part of me believes that it's due to the fact that they were more limited so they were forced to be creative to make the game stand out, at the very least some newer games do keep that creativity but it becomes bland because it's re-used constantly throughout the game, more so towards enemy designs, which had to be copied over and over again so that the games don't lag with all the different scripts for each individual enemy, times were different back then.

I remember when I first beat this game, it was under the purple evening glow, I was laying on my couch that was just next to the window overlooking the small private compound I was living in with it's public pool that I used to visit so often, it was years ago that I would find myself having fun in that pool every afternoon, into evenings just like this one, over the wall was a tower with red lights on it, overlooking the whole compound, since I had just beaten the game I could do nothing else but be reminded of the third moon, and being the kid I was my imagination trailed off, so even though it was just for a short while, I imagined it as if I were Strider that day, I had just taken down the evil grandmaster Meio and saved everyone, and I held hopes for a better tomorrow at the same time I reminisced that I would not be allowed to continue living here much longer, as inevitably I was going to move countries and say goodbye to the one place that greeted me as a friend every time I visited, unlike the place I would be going next, the place I am now. Nobody is friendly, nobody is respectful, and everyone treats their friends like tools to be thrown off to the side after they were done with them, and now it's on my bucket list to one day re-visit that old compound one day, it is where I grew up after all, I might never get to see the inside of the house we lived in ever again, but that's fine, I don't need to go that far, just seeing the outside of it under the afternoon or evening glow again, to remind me of my childhood who I used to be, who I deserved to have the right to still be today, that's good enough in my book... I used to try and convey the same feelings in words in my younger days on KZread, but I could never really get my point across, now I finally understand.

@Bipolar Bear I was coming out of a rough time in my life when I wrote this, if you could see the stuff I was saying online from one year ago it probably all would have looked like this, for some context I was able to live on that compound because my Dad had a job in the army, we moved to that place so it was easier for all of us, I still miss that place, still hate the place I'm living now, but no way would I have said all this nowadays, a year ago I was going through some annoying stuff, so I was trying to express myself somewhere. Thankfully none of you were too horrible about it but there are many times when people saw the stuff I wrote and would basically just respond with KYS, since that dismissive comment was so common I came here to write it instead in the hopes that not many people would see it or care about it, that's probably what I thought, but I can't remember what I was thinking a year or two ago, I was like a completely different person who just wanted to look back on old times to feel, happy. I will admit that the whole thing about imagining I was Strider wasn't necessarily true, my mind did trail off and think of all sorts of random things but I never actually thought that part, I don't really know why I wrote that in, maybe I thought it would be more understandable? In reality I just zoned and continued to stare at that spire with the red lights, all while listening to the music from Strider, the rest is all true though I did actually beat Strider that day and I did get thrown into some contemplation, probably thinking about how it would be the last time I ever saw the place I considered my home, still don't like the place I've moved to, still working hard to leave it all behind.

The reboot from 2014 is such an awesome little gem. Playing it right now.

I'm playing the new one (2014) on PS4 and man, it's really awesome. A lot of new powers, intense gameplay, satisfying cutting moves and exploring. Simply amazing and I bought for just R$6 (between $1 and $2)

I loved spinning around the globe in zero gravity, playing this at the arcade. 😁👍

I think this game inspired Sonic the Hedgehog's greatly! In design, with its coolness, angled floors, running down acceleration, level design... I also think possibly some of the programming logic too: Seeing as Sega was responsible for porting it to the Genesis, using the original source-code no less, their programmers could have learned a lot here on how to code these things and improve them

However, funny thing is, there's a reminder it's originally a Capcom game in the third stage, at least in the Genesis version (didn't notice it here, but maybe because he just blitzed through it)....those small robots in the gravity section before the boss, remind me of the "Moles" from Metal Man's level in Mega Man 2. Also, I think Gravity Man (Mega Man V (NES)) may have taken a cue from that stage.

This game was quite a feat for 1989.
