I own it on my Genesis and boot it up every once in a while to say "what am I missing?". I usually get to stage 3 before I get disinterested and play something else. Maybe I just should have played it at the time to really appreciate it?

Yeah, that's describes my own experience with the game perfectly xD.

Maybe the game would be more fun without unlimited continues?

I was just about to throw it in again, but my new XRGB-mini seems to hate my Genesis now! It likes the Saturn just fine, but it just blinks and gives up on the Genesis. Trying to figure out wtf I did to piss it off!

Strider was one of my favorite games when I was 10, and part of my username. I played it on the Capcom Classics Collection and it blew my mind. What other game let you fight a communist robot dragon as a ninja with a laser sword? I haven't played it since I was 11 though, so I don't know how well it'll hold up.
I just ordered the new one for PS3 (the Japanese physical copy). Hopefully it'll be good.
Insert clever quote here.

I kind of want a new FPS set in World War 2.

With stuff like Wolfenstein The New Order and Sniper Elite V3 doing well, it'll probably happen sooner rather than later.

There's multiple areas of WW2 I wanted to see explored in games that never happened.
