Shame the game didnt have another 10 stages or so as it started to rock once all the stages started throwing the robots at you, they were great to fight and then it was all over 8(
Thanks for posting these videos. This game came out my freshman year in college. I recall a few mornings waking up and thinking "Screw it", then getting stoned off my ass and playing this game all morning at the arcade. Probably explains why I only graduated with a 3.8 gpa.
Stage 17, what a pain in the ass. At the same time it was quite intriguing. No doubt that stage 18 a piece of cake. Only time I got killed on stage 18, but I was being careless. Space Harrier rules to this day.
Space Harrier es uno de los juegos que me trae gratos recuerdos de infancia, siempre llegaba a la final, simplemente genial, felicitaciones a los creadores de este sensacional juego!
I was the guy that would always watch everyone else put their quarters in and witness a wonderful variety of expletives, curses and bodily jesters when the video game character would say, "AHHHHHHHH".
i completely this game once in the arcade and at the end i had a crowd of people behind me and they all clapped; you just dont get that with a ps3! the best part about the game are the after burner jets... by the way, in after burner there's the outrun car at a level but i cant remember what one
Sorry to sound like a noob, but why did it take consoles (apart from the Neo Geo) about seven years to catch up with arcade machines in the 2D graphics department? From what I heard, the first arcade perfect port of this was on the 32X.
Consoles were very very behind arcade systems until last generation(xbox/ps2/etc...) One reason is the space, consoles are tiny, coin ops were much bigger. Part was also the cost. Arcade machines costings thosands vs. a few hundred for a console.
back then games were consider very SOCIAL , peapole actually met in places called arcades, and actually interacted with each other, crowds would gather around games, and people would just watch to see the technology, home games were considered anti social, an I STILL believe this to this day! home gaming is fun, but nothig beats doing it in a social setting among strangers or regular stiffs... games today SUCK compared to the good old days, when games were all about stress relief and fantasy.
Wow... you died on Stage 13 and Stage 15, but you managed to get through Stage 14: Astute, which was always a thrill for me when I used to play this game nearly 20 years ago...
I have to get the MAME version of this eventually.
Maybe it sounds heretical, but I think SH2 is the better game. Despite the technical limitations, it does it right by having a fixed POV that lets you see more of the playing field, it has a greater sense of speed...
...(more instances where you are truly flying). It like that you can select any level, and Harrier himself looks "tougher" and not quite so much like a cartoon hero. Plus in the original, some of the objects look really pixelated or cartoony up close. There's more of an ending to SH2 as well.
And finally I think the original has a different aesthetic look that I don't find as pleasing (a lot more pastels and less definition). Perhaps this is all because I played SH2 at home a ton before I ever played the arcade SH in depth. I appreciate it as the start of the series and a classic in its own right, but I do think SH2 surpasses it.
Those 2 fiery dragons, Hya-Oh were also the "end guys" as I call them on Game Gear too. I loved the music in the Sega Ages version of this game for Saturn. I might have been the same as the Arcade, but I don't know.
The Sega Master System version has the TRUE LAST BOSS. "Duel Fire Dragons!" Too bad the arcade version didn't get that boss, it would have looked Crazy:)
"Ready? Many more battle scenes will soon be available!"
Gotta love the death message, it makes it sound like the programmers are frantically creating new levels for the game as you play! ;) Other than the superior graphics and the unique bonus round, SH2 is superior in almost every way to this one (even the arcade classic)
Class game one of the earliest games I know of with such need for crazy reflexes and omg the button bashing to shoot kills your hand! @_@ I finished the gameboy version which is weird because I think it had better bosses then this, but the pace of the stages in comparison sucks

Stage 14 was always the fastest and most exciting Space Harrier stage for me.
Graphics for this game are incredible.
Its not like the other Sega games which the graphics got chunkier as they got bigger/closer, such as Afterburner II.
nightowl8936 4 years ago
When we were little kids we used to call Stage 14 "Board Rad".
Hey, it was 1986!

I always thought the above implied the game would not end. It said the above message after you completed every level!

Seriously? That was the last boss?
On the Master System, you had to fight Haya Oh, two fire dragons.
Either way, good down load.
Wiwi Jumbo is complete B.S.--I always hated that boss.

I always thought it would had been a not-so-secret message, sounding there would have been soon a new chapter in the S.H. Saga.
I prefer the first one played in 32x, much better than SH II for Sega Genesis.
