Journey from Darkness: Strider Returns is a 8-bit port of Tiertex's Strider II for Game Gear and Master System.

Game Gear port of Journey from Darkness: Strider Returns is the last Returns port to be released, but rather than being based off the original or the Mega Drive port, it follows closely the design of the Master System port, since the Game Gear's hardware is closer to the Master System. It does appear to have some slight tweaks done to the programming and a few minor changes as well.
