Compilation Details For Major Stryker:

Major Stryker is a scrolling shooter for DOS that helped fill the scrolling shooter void in the PC market at the time. It has several things that you'd expect a shooter to have like multiple firing styles, shields, air and ground targets, and lots of bullets flying at once. According to the game's story, Earth has just barely survived World War III, but the Kretons attacked in our weakness. You, Major Stryker are the last of Earth's defense, and it's up to you to save the planet!

The game is a competent shooter with lots of enemy ships and turrets to destroy, and even though it recycles the bosses, they're still pretty interesting looking and fun to fight. Also, there is a short dialogue interlude between each zone which offers plenty of humorous innuendo between Stryker and his female counterpart at HQ which keeps things interesting. Major Stryker looked a little dated with its EGA palette at a time when games were transitioning to VGA palette, and it didn't have several of the shoot-em-up staples that veteran players are used to like missiles, lasers, or heat-seekers. Also, upon beating the shareware episode, you've seen the majority of the game, which makes the remaining episodes drag a bit.
