About the game

In the not-so-distant future, the calamity of World War III led to eventual world peace. But, it didn't last. Earth was invaded by alien marauders - the Kretons. Earth's united military force, still depleted after the mighty onslaught of WWIII, was not nearly sufficient to repel the numerous Kreton attacks. It was discovered that the Kretons had used a wormhole to invade our region of space from their home worlds. And with that knowledge Earth called into action Major Harrison Stryker, hero of WWIII, to travel back through the wormhole and destroy the Kreton's home world headquarters.

Note: - This can be legally downloaded for free (or played in a web browser) thanks to it being made Freeware in 2006. If you buy this, it's for the enjoyment of officially having it in your Steam library or to support the dev. - You'll likely want to fix the aspect ratio by going into the Major Stryker folder and editing STRYKER.conf by setting "aspect=true" in the render section.

It's an MS-DOS classic. EGA Graphics, Adlib music, Soundblaster sound effects. All the classic look and sound of the era. Also relatively short, as is typical for games of the time. An episode can be finished in around an hour if you don't get killed too often.
