I beat Strider (Sega Genesis) on hard difficulty without continues! I owned both this and the NES Strider as a kid and enjoyed them immensely. I recently re-played and beat the NES version so I thought I'd tackle this one. It was fun figuring it all out again. To earn RetroAchievements mastery I had to beat it on the hard difficulty which I'd never attempted before. I was able to achieve that a week ago but had to use every continue and life to do so. "Not good enough," I said! So I kept trying and cussing until tonight when I finally beat it on hard difficulty without using any continues!

I beat Strider (NES) without dying! I owned and beat this as a kid but never without dying so that feels good. Though it's really not that difficult of a game if you can get past the wonky jump mechanics. It's so easy to get stuck to a wall, to bump your head mid-jump on a platform that doesn't even exist, or to not even jump when you press the button. Seriously, what the heck is up with the programming in this game? The messed up jump physics, the garbage sprites at the top and bottom of the screen, the pauses whenever a person you can talk to comes on screen, rarely having more than one enemy on screen at a time... it feels like a beta version. Still fun, though.
