In this episode, the guys review Strider (Sega Genesis, 1990), which is one of the games released on the Sega Genesis Mini plug-and-play system. Strider is a futuristic action game where you play the role of Strider Hiryu as he seeks to save the world from the evil Grandmaster Meio (pronounced "Mayo" -- odd huh?). Listen as the guys lament over how difficult this game is, learn about how the game was censored right before release, and where you can see "Cameos" from Strider Hiryu. Did someone say Cameo? :-)
