| | Space Harrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Like Afterburner, Space Harrier was among the first (perhaps the very first) arcade game to feature a console in which the player sits, and which moves according to the joystick movement. | | | Space Harrier was originally made for the arcades, and later saw ports to many home game systems (see below). | | | The voice would sound off while the game was idle, greeting potential players with "Welcome to the Fantasy Zone!". |

| | Space Harrier II |
| | Space Harrier (which basically means a futuristic sort of geezer with a jetpack on his back) has a quest, which is to rid the fantasy land (which is where he is) of the cruel tyranny imposed by the Dark Harrier (who's the super-mega-nasty at the end of the game). | | | Space Harrier II is actually much the same to look at as its prequel, but the going is tougher and the mega-nasties are more 'mega'. | | | 'Space' jumps onto a jet-board and finds himself in a lump of action much the same as the main game. |

| | Kikizo Games: PS2 Review: Space Harrier - Sega Ages 2500 |
| | Space Harrier is a very simple game that doesn't require much explanation. | | | The object of the game is to basically shoot anything that moves, and in some cases don't move. | | | In 1985, Space Harrier burst onto the arcade scene and dazzled gamers with high speed, pseudo 3-D graphics that brought with it a very unique play experience during a time when 3D technology hadn't been adapted to games yet. |

| | Raspy tongue... Retro View - Retrogaming and emulation |
| | Well, the Space Harrier of the title is a flying boy (whose amazing levitational skills are never explained), placed under the control of the player and carrying a ludicrously oversized gun. | | | Overall, despite its problems, Space Harrier still manages to be a fairly entertaining slice of action, but unless you're a big fan of the original you may just find the gameplay a little too weak. | | | This didn't prevent the game from being a worldwide smash however, and of course, where there's a hit arcade game, you can bet your bottom dollar a slew of software houses will be clamouring for licences to port the game onto various home systems and electrical appliances. |

| | Space Harrier download @ Game Downloads |
| | Most conversions were unable to capture anything from it, and Space Harrier is no exception, although unique gameplay still makes it better than many games of that period. | | | Although the checkered backgrounds make the world look more like a surreal painting than an alien planet, the fact that they constantly scroll straight at the player gives a sense of speed, which is often good as a warning when navigating dangerous areas with indestructible buildings. | | | Extra details like different poses when at different parts of the screen, explosive chain reactions when defeating the largest bosses, and stumbling over the low weeds in the first levels made the game something to behold. |

| | The marquee game of the collection, obviously, is the original Space Harrier, but being able to see how the game looked on the Sega Mark III (the Japanese version of the Master System) is also a cool inclusion. | | | Space Harrier Complete Collection contains all of these games in all their different incarnations, which is pretty cool. | | | Additionally, the game even supports 480p when playing the arcade Space Harrier, which should help to present it at its proper arcade sharpness, though the TV displaying the game at TGS wasn't HD-capable, so we were unable to test this for ourselves. |

| | Some of the enemies in the game have patterns which are very easy to learn - the key to surving in SH II is to never stay still. | | | You only start with three lives, and there are no continues (no big deal, as it's fairly easy to complete, and you get extra Harriers left and right as you play). | | | The last boss is somewhat of a surprise - turns out it's a renegade Harrier, now going under the name Dark Harrier (who is surprisingly easy to beat). |

| | During the course of the game, bonus rounds may occur in which extra points and lives can be gained by blasting as many nasties as possible. | | | It's more of a remix with different graphics rather than a completely new game. | | | Well, to be honest, I never found Space Harrier that electrifying, so the prospect of a sequel didn't exactly excite me. And the fact that it's so similar to the repetitive original makes Space Harrier II very forgettable. |
