Game: Strider Returns - Journey from Darkness

Known as Strider 2 in Europe, Strider returns is unique in that it was developed by Tiertex, an European company, who sadly ended up doing a mediocre job as the game is nowhere near as good as Strider on the arcade, or in any other consoles for that matter. Not to mention the difficulty is quite high (and not in the good way). Curiously, the game never saw release in Japan.
