Space Harrier

Space Harrier should bring back memories for older players. The arcade game was fast paced and addictive. Except for the hydraulic seat, this is a perfect translation.

Battle enemies in a behind-the-person perspective in a series of quickly scrolling levels. Intense enemy attack waves and giant Bosses make this a tough game to beat.

The graphics are identical to the arcade game, and it's just as enjoyable. Space Harrier is here!

We haven't got a clue how they did it, but they did. Sega translated its big arcade hit Space Harrier into an exciting action-shooter for the handheld Game Gear. Chalk up another victory for Sega's technical wizards.

And chalk up another winner for Segaphiles on the go. Space Harrier makes the transition with its speed, action, and challenge intact. If you aren't familiar with the arcade game, you're in for an awesome surprise.

You're the Space Harrier, called in to save an unusual world called Dragonland. Filled with a strange landscape and bizarre beings, Dragonland's 12 levels will be a real test of your digital dexterity. The non-stop action is fast and furious as you do your best to dodge obstacles while firing at the enemies that are closing in on all sides. And if they crash into you, they'll eat you!

There are more than 20 enemies. The mean ones will take pot shots at you, and the meaner ones can't be destroyed. And then there are the enemy leaders — all 12 are real control button busters.

We're happy to see Space Harrier has a password system so you can stop to eat or something, then pick up where you left off. You can continue a game up to three times if the enemy keeps wiping you out. But your score gets wiped out as well.

Have a blast with Space Harrier!

Put your invincibility in the bonus stages (#4 and #8) to food use. You'll rack up 0,000 points for each enemy you zap through. Remember to avoid running into enemies as you fire on them.
