*sort of. it's called mission 0 and takes place before mission 1, but you can only unlock it after beating strider 1 and creating a save file. this is my fav mission story-wise bc the cutscene at the end is suuuper good

day 12. poster (strider 2)
at least I think it was used as a poster. either way, the use of 3d models here is interesting given that the game's characters are sprites

day 22. hiryu vs hien art (strider 2)
yes, this is official, and it's one of my favorite strider pieces ever. it almost makes hiryu look like the villain.
i find strider hien to be a super interesting character, and even more fascinating is his unusual relationship and w hiryu.

day 34. the first area (strider 2014)
speaking of balrog, seeing it in the background here is really cool, especially since you know you're going to destroy later. unfortunately if you come back to this area after blowing it up, you can still see it in this level. oversight ig.

day 39. vengeful (strider manga)
this manga is pretty interesting but i count it as development for the hiryu we know (if that makes sense). this comes from the unofficial english translation you can find online.
