I agree and its my favorite game of all time! Well the Japanese Mega Drive version.... I like the "HA" sound when Hiryu slashes his sword and the Japanese version has the famous line, "All sons of old gods, die!". Most of the time I play the Japanese Mega Drive Version of Mega Drive/Genesis games.. unless im playing a RPG or something or a game where I might need the english translations.

The MD port was a huge deal back in 1990. Strider was a very technically impressive and fast arcade game, released only a year earlier and pairing an 8 Mbit ROM with a top dev team at Sega (they coded the home version themselves), the MD was able to bring the experience home, mostly intact. ROM was still very expensive back then and thus, the game retailed for $80. I believe that the second 8 Mbit game was the equally excellent Gaiares. MD really hit its stride when 8 Mbit (and larger) ROM carts became practical. Most early gamed were held back by 4 Mbit cards.

The Mega Drive Japanese Version is my favorite game of all time! The Mega Drive / Genesis port to me looks actually better than the X68000 and PC Engine versions..... One.... The Mega Drive sprite for Hiryu just looks better to me and the soundtrack is just amazing on the Mega Drive.... When Hiryu glides in and is on the first level it has more of a close up type vew compared to the X68000 and PC Engine ports and sprites look larger in my opinion in the Mega Drive version. X68000 and PC Engine versions looks more saturated and the Mega Drive Version has a more cleaner look to me. I know a lot of people complain about the Mega Drive / Genesis color pallete but when looking at the Mega Drive in RGB and comparing it to other systems at the time it has the nicest, cleanest, sharpest looking RGB picture and the colors look good to me. Like its just right but looking at other systems like PC Engine and SNES in RGB it looks a little blurry compared to the Mega Drive. To be honest im glad that the Genesis could only display 64 colors on the screen out of 512... for some reason in my opinion the colors look better on the Mega Drive when compared to the SNES and PC Engine.... This could be though because the Mega Drive is showcasing the game at higher resolution. The Mega Drive just gives me a more Arcade feel when compared to the PC Engine and SNES..... When looking into detail.... we can see that the Mega Drive was truely the best 16 bit home console.

X68000 is better. The game was developed using an X68000 for the arcades, the X68000 is much more powerful than SNES/ Genesis PC Engine. By Genesis standards it's a good port though. Genesis is a good workhorse console.

That's because it's the other way around. The Master System was made by the same terrible Tiertex studio as the Amiga and ST versions a few years after. What's so weird is that, at least in France, the Amiga version got RAVE reviews when it came out, 90%, 18/20, end of year awards, the whole lot. Reviewers were totally amazed by how great it looked. I have to admit I pirated the ST version and I couldn't believe how bad it was, even then, and that was two years before the Megadrive version arrived, and I hadn't even played the arcade, I had only seen screenshots. But everything was awful in itself, even without comparing it with the original.

I'm actually surprised by the ZX version. It's not that bad considering the machine. Big sprites, reasonably fast and smooth action, multi-directional scrolling are things not easily achieved on the Speccy.
Leaving aside PlayStation and X68000's arcade perfect versions, Mega Drive wins. None of the US Gold computer ports get it right (Tiertex blew it again. I don't see how Capcom saw fit to bother giving them rights to do Journey From Darkness.). PC Engine should have been better considering it requires the Arcade card. Missing parallax is a let down.

@Benjamin Jagun Both systems had 9 bit color pallets, which was very typical for the time. The MD's Shadow and Highlight mode effectively enlarged its pallet to more than 1000 colors. But yes, PCE could have more colors on screen at the same time, with the MD's 64 colors being very modest. However, once again, shadow and highlight could bring it to a respectable ~180 colors you see in games like Sonic 2, Ranger X and Gunstar Heroes. I agree that the PCE version of Strider does not do the hardware justice, especially considering the massive amount of RAM in the Arcade Card. The main sprite colors and animation are cringe-worthy and could've been done much better. The parallax scrolling in this games would always have been impossible to fake on the PCE though. Lack of multiple background layers was that system's biggest weakness. The Supergrax fixed issue but was unfortunately DOA.

Most AC games look way better and the much earlier MD port blows it away. I remember reading that it was being developed as a Supergrafx game before getting moved to the PCE. It would've been a much better match for that system, especially considering how well the other two CPS1 ports turned out.
