Journey from Darkness: Strider Returns: Mega Drive - Longplay 60fps
Journey from Darkness: Strider Returns, released as Strider II in Europe, is a port of Tiertex's Strider II for the 16-bit Sega Mega Drive/Genesis console. This is the first port to be released outside Europe, making it the most well-known version of Tiertex's sequel. The port presents several changes when compared to the original game, a result of having been adapted following closely the Mega Drive port of Strider.
Although it got a mixed reception upon launch, the game is currently vastly despised by the fandom and derided by both critics and even the staff behind it. The game's sole programmer Allan Findlay referred to several problems including a lack of instructions from the higher-ups and a drawn-out, innefective debugging and testing period. The game has been criticized for its shoddy programming and uninspired gameplay, product of the higher-ups being only interested in getting the game "written and out as fast as possible".
