Space Harrier flies into Virtual Console
Buy it, not just because it's fun, but because when that unnecessary remake does come, you'll be able to say it's inferior to the original like a champ.

Welcome to the Fantasy Zone. Get Ready!
I used to love this game when I was little!
ExMcCloud @ Nov 3rd 2008 10:38AM
Pfft.....Thats what my copy of Shenmue is for.
gameplayFanBoy @ Nov 3rd 2008 10:51AM
+1 for you, exactly what I was thinking.
Fourdee3 @ Nov 5th 2008 3:37AM
Your sir, are correct!

This game is only meant to be played in the original sit-down arcade cabinet. Anything less is an abomination.
Sturat @ Nov 3rd 2008 10:55AM
Actually, Space Harrier was completely unnecessarily remade on PS2. Like most of the Sega Ages 2500 series, it was worth playing but by no means a replacement for the original.

This post isn't filed under anything. Hmm...

"A person or thing that harries"....IN SPACE!

I thought 'Space Harrier' is what happens when a female WOW player is too busy raiding to do anything else.
LaughingTarget @ Nov 3rd 2008 12:50PM
I love how it looks like the man is going to dunk a basketball into a tree while avoiding a block from a plane.
darkeyez @ Nov 3rd 2008 12:56PM
why do i remember playing this for Genesis and not Master System?
Zertoss @ Nov 3rd 2008 1:25PM
Perhaps you're thinking of Space Harrier II.
darkeyez @ Nov 3rd 2008 1:35PM
u might be right about that. my next question was if there was ever a Space Harrier 2.

I remember this game at the arcades quite fondly. My big bro was awesome at this. When he'd be playing a crowd would slowly form around him to watch. I miss arcades...
