Calling Capcom over this, he was told this was background story, but since it doesn't figure in the game proper he was free to ignore it. While Shizuoka and Yamamoto checked the original programmer's code, PALKO mapped out documents in advance, eventually running into a 40-pages long novel detailing the background of Strider.
Their first action was to acquire development materials and source disks from the Arcade staff at Capcom and start to analyze them. The initial project team only consisted of three people: planner "PALKO", designer Taro Shizuoka and programmer/project leader Keiichi Yamamoto.
Strider started development at some point in late 1989/early 1990, an unknown number of months after its final release date in September.
