Space Harrier.
Space Harrier is a high-paced 1985 arcade game by Sega. Fly and shoot your way through surreal landscapes as Harrier, the jet-propelled hero in this third-person rail shooter classic.
Relive the golden era of gaming with Space Harrier, a third-person rail shooter arcade game that was a sensation in 1985. Developed by Sega, this game broke barriers with its unique gameplay and innovative graphics. Originally intended as a military-themed game featuring a fighter jet, it was redesigned due to technical restrictions, resulting in a jet-propelled human character navigating through a fantasy world. Players control Harrier, who simultaneously flies and shoots in a series of surreal, brightly colored landscapes. Fight against a myriad of foes ranging from prehistoric animals to alien pods, while dodging immovable ground obstacles and projectiles. This retro classic offers eighteen distinct stages of intense action, with fifteen of them featuring a boss battle. Space Harrier's influence is evident in many modern games and its legacy continues to inspire gamers and developers alike.
