Space Harrier is a 1985 third-person Arcade rail-shooter that was also ported to the Sega Master System in 1987.
+ Constantly evolves the gameplay with new enemy types, as well as awesome stage settings that include duplicated ceilings.
+ Bosses are gigantic and figuring out their attack patterns / weak spots is as rewarding as solving a puzzle.
- Gameplay can be brutally punishing unless you meticulously strategise and memorise the layouts of each stage.
- Only features 12 of the 18 stages from the 8-bit console version, and even the end credits have been removed.
- It's tough to determine spatial distance, particularly when attempting to judge how close enemies are to the foreground.
- Sprites have a blocky look due to a lack of transparency around their outer edges, which is immersion-reducing.
