This hack for Strider (NES) corrects the numerous spelling, grammatical, and punctuational errors that were present in many early NES titles. In addition to these changes, "Yugdesiral" has been corrected to "Yggdrasil", and a clarity edit has been made to late game dialogue. All existing save states will work with this hack, as no addresses in the ROM have been changed. This is not a "localization", and no memes or other easily-dated content have been added.
