''[[Major Stryker]]'' is a 2D vertical scrolling shooter game for IBM PC, released in 1993 by Apogee Software (now 3D Realms). Originally the first episode of the game distributed as shareware, and the rest were issued commercially. The game was re-released as freeware on March 14, 2006.
Like most such games the story is basically an [[Excuse Plot]]: in the wake of [[World War III]], Earth is invaded by aliens called the Kretons. The hero of the war, Major Stryker, is sent through the wormhole they came through to strike back at their homeworlds.
Line 7:
The game features PC Speaker and Sound Blaster sounds, and [[Ad Lib]] music similar in style to Bobby Prince's other songs; it was the first game published by Apogee to include the famous Apogee Fanfare. The game uses EGA graphics and draws three backgrounds ("triple-parallax scrolling").

* [[Asteroids Monster]]: Each episode has a boss that splits into two smaller versions of itself when you've damaged it enough.
* [[Excuse Plot]]: It's covered in about four screens of text and pictures, and considering the resolution of 320*200, you're not going to fit much text on one screen.
