Strider may refer to:
Strider is a side-scrolling action-adventure game released by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America in 1989. While the development of the NES version of Strider was produced in tandem with the arcade version, the Japanese version for the Famicom was never released. The NES version of Strider is included in the 2006 Game Boy Advance compilation Capcom Classics Mini-Mix.
Set in a dystopian future during the year 2048, the game centers around a secret organization of hi-tech ninja-like operatives known as "Striders", who specializes in various kinds of wetworks such as smuggling, kidnapping, demolitions, and disruption. The player takes control of Hiryu, the youngest ever elite-class Strider in the organization. Hiryu is summoned by the organization's second-in-command, Vice Director Matic, to assassinate his friend Kain, who has been captured by hostile forces and has become a liability to the Striders. Instead of killing him, Hiryu decides to rescue Kain from his captors; he is successful, and also recovers a recording from Kain concerning a suspected criminal plot. With the help of his fellow Strider Sheena, Hiryu uncovers a conspiracy between a certain faction of the Strider organization and an unknown organization known simply as the "Enterprise" (headed by a man named Faceas Clay) which involves the development of a mind-control weapon codenamed "Zain". In the course of finding and destroying these Zain units, Hiryu learns that the faction of conspirators is headed by Vice Director Matic himself. Hiryu eventually tracks Matic to an orbiting space station where the two Striders face off; after a brief battle Hiryu bests Matic and kills him. Afterwards Hiryu locates and destroys the last of the Zain units.

The player control the series' main character, Strider Hiryu. The environment is freely explorable in search for weapons and items. Strider Hiryu's main weapon is his Cypher, a plasma weapon that can take several properties. Upgrades for the Cypher can be obtained by exploring Kazakh.
Youre shooting looks at me semi-automatically
Just like youve never seen what it is that you see
I'm just a man in the street
I got shoes on my feet
You always get what you want
But do you know what you need?
All my intentions are good
But my pockets are empty
Ive got nothing to give
Except for whats in my body
Let me pat you down
Are you wired?
Dont you make a sound
Were you hired?
Cause youre a fucking crook
Youre a liar
Youre playing with my cash
So youre fired
You know its making me lose my mind
Hard to find
Lose my mind
Hard to find
Im gonna go if you stay
Im gonna stay if you go
If you ask I dont know
If youre fast, then I'm slow
You know youre pissing away
Your words bitching at me
Cause I wont ever hear
What youre saying to me
And are you really a fan?
Are you really the sweet type?
I dont know, I dont know
Cause I fell right out of my bed
And stumbled into your spotlight
And you could be making this up
Let me pat you down
Are you wired?
Dont you make a sound
Were you hired?
Cause youre a fucking crook
Youre a liar
Youre playing with my cash
So youre fired
You know its making me lose my mind
Hard to find
Lose my mind
