Synopsis

Osman (also known as Cannon-Dancer) is a side-scrolling action platform game developed by Mitchell Corporation and released as a coin-operated arcade game in 1996. Many ex-Capcom staff including Kouichi Yotsui (credited as Isuke) have worked on the original arcade version of Strider and designed its sequel, Osman. Yotsui directed both titles. In contrast to Strider's futuristic Kazakh-Soviet setting, Osman has a neon-lit cyberpunk Arabian setting, while Strider Hiryu is replaced by a Chinese protagonist named Osman (Kirin) who fights without any weapons. 1UP.com included the game in its "Games to Play Before You Die" list. The game's bizarre plot supposedly mocks director Kouichi Yotsui's experience at Capcom after Strider.
