Hiryu is one of the top striders.
He is given the task by Vice-Director Matic, of finding another captured strider, Kain.
But rather than mount a rescue, Hiryu is told his assignment is to kill Kain.
Hiryu questions these orders and travels to Kain's last known location to try to find him...
Strider is a platform game where Hiryu must fight his way past enemies and uncover keys, characters and data disks (which can be analysed aboard the Blue Dragon) to find out what's going on.
His primary weapon is his jumping ability and sword, the Cypher, which he uses to strike with great speed.
At some point in the game, the Cypher may be modified to shoot plasma arrows.
Hiryu also has a various set of "skills" which he learns as he gains levels.
Examples of skills are a healing ability (Medical), a jumping ability (Jump), some additional attacks (Spark, Fire, Sp-Ball) and the ability to leave an area (Warp).
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Strider (1989) for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
