#0127 Space Harrier

I guess they forgot about this game huh? This is 1985's Space Harrier. A SHMUP from Sega that combines traditional SHMUP tropes with the sprite scaling of Outrun.

The added dimension to the game is very clumsily handled. You ahve no idea where you're firing at any given time, and this tends to rear it's head at the least oportune times. But it's hard not to get sucked in by it's incredible sense of energy and fun. So while I can't say it's a good game, I certainly enjoyed it.

Next up: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
