Space Harrier

Several levels are similar to 3-D versions of other games. For instance, there is a psychedelic mushroom stage that looks somewhat like a Centipede landscape. Faces in another level look like those from Easter Island. Graphics and game flow are similar to other Sega games of the era such as After Burner and Out Run.

The object is to shoot as many things as you can. Avoid running or flying into enemy projectiles and stationary objects. Battle the bosses, and move onto the next level. The game ends after you beat level 18 where you have to defeat almost all of the bosses, one after another, but not in the same order as they appear throughout the game.

HINT The enemies fire three types of projectiles at the main character Energy Bullets slow, Fireballs faster, and Missiles fastest. They are always fired directly at Space Harriers current location, never elsewhere. As long as you move constantly without backtracking, you cannot be hit, and need only worry about dodging stationary objects.PBUG Extra coins provide extra lives to continue the game. On the later levels, when your character is hit, it appears at times as if all extra lives are lost. The remaining credits are not lost. They just do not display properly.

Renderings of the classic ISpace HarrierI and IHangOnI games make a special apperance in the Sega Dreamcast title Shenmue. During the game, simply enter the You Arcade in Dobuita and the machines can be found at the back of the arcade. You can also win a Sega Saturn version of ISpace HarrierI which actually existed in Japan, as part of the Sega Ages series in a raffle at the Tomato Convinence Mart.

Three cabinet types were created for this game upright, fixed sitdown and a fullmotion cockpit. The control panels each have backlit instrument gauges. All the cabinets have similar styling that includes a dragon, the player character and racing stripes on the side.

The game does not register credits, just how many players lives you will have when you press start. If you have any extra lives at the end of the game, you cannot start a new game no matter how many quarters you dropped to get a ton of lives.P16 of the 18 levels have unique names the other two are just bonus levels.
