Space Harrier description
Another example of the "Golden classics" of the arcade genre, the game, which is almost impossible to describe.
Title screen Dodge those floating rocks
Unfortunately, it really is. The plot? The aliens have invaded the Earth, they have several types of ships, we play a tough guy with a jet pack on his back that allows you to fly, and a huge gun in his hand, which shall this invasion to stop. This story is all about.
Incoming aliens Watch out
Gameplay? The third person, "hang" in the air and shoot appearing from a distance the alien ships, which gradually replace each other in terms of the types they shoot at us, weapons and power in different types of different. Of course, the enemy shots have to Dodge, so you can move around the game screen, and it is competent and quick to respond to the situation the movement is almost the basis of all games. We expect a few levels at the end of each of which will be quite a colorful boss. This is about the gameplay, too.
they're firing Some particularly nasty guys
Graphic component? At least "quite cute", maybe just "honey." Drawn everything from landscapes of the surrounding landscape to the enemy ships and our hero, very carefully, and even ships sometimes seem three-dimensional. Some particularly enthusiastic praise of the game, in my opinion, does not deserve, but still it is, as already mentioned in the beginning, a classic of the genre (the game was released on all major gaming platforms at the time), so if you need a dynamic, moderately difficult and beautiful old arcade, on Space Harrier is worth paying attention to.
