Not sure what you are talking about anon. Hating Space Harrier is literally impossible.

I really dislike this trend of just making shit up to get a thread going.

>hate
I don't know what you're talking about but it was probably a shmup tranny
>>
Let me preface this I do not hate this game, I don’t not hate fans of this game and anyone involved in making it or marketing it. It’s all love here.
Personally I find the game difficult, and I don’t like the way the character covers up what youre shooting at. Also presumably the arcade version is better looking but the genesis version is what gets included in most collections.

Its insane to think space harrier and Galaga were released just 4 years apart. Things were changing so fast in the 80s arcades. It wasnt until the sega 32x that a decent home port was even possible, and that came 10 years later in 1995.

>>12484350
It's consumed the entire internet at this point. Liars get more easy attention than the truth. Big problem.

Space Harrier rules, of course. Thoughts on Space Harrier 2?

>>12484334
The main character should have been a hot girl in a low cut high waisted thong leotard with an ample busom and nice ass.

This existed, it was called tropical angel and came out in 1983. The nicest ass for the first half of the 80s, and the first game ever to have "ass clevage":

Pic related was the full page add for it in gamepro but when the game came out they gave her pants on the NES cover.

I actually 1cc'd Space Harrier for Master System the first time I ever played it at a friend's house. Did the same thing with Star Wars Arcade in the arcade. I must have some weird beginners luck with games like that.

>>12484565
Genesis I mean.

The whole gimmick of this game was the original hardware physically swung you around, not that it was a good game or anything. It's honestly pretty boring. You'll see a lot of geriatric collector types praise it because it was in shenmue or whatever.

I played a stationary SH cab and dug it so much I credit fed until the end. My hand was killing me aftwrwards. Its fast, atmospheric, great music(song really), and lastly a lot of fun. I'm sure it seems dated nowadays and is mostly remembered for its off the wall stages/enemies but I bet seeing one back when it came out in '85 was an event.

Yes, this is what everyone did back in the day. I know you are a larping tranny who just discovered arcade games.

There was no gimmick, it felt a decade ahead of literally every other game in the arcade when it sat beside moon patrol and time pilot and the original super mario Vs cab.
16 bit color pallet (98k colors), 128 sprites per frame, scaling sprites and the splash screen had more color depth a detail than anything we had seen up to this point. The sounds too, its soundboard alone was more advanced than entire rival arcade motherboards.

This was a 1990s game released in 1985. The rest of the gaming industry took years to catch up to the things sega AM2 was doing here. The Neo geo that eventually arrived and thrived in the 90s was essentially space harrier hardware stripped down to only half thr vram and only a single 68000, and that neo geo hardware lasted through the later half of the 90s.

When you start trying to pretend something gets bonus points for something that doesn't apply to it today then you may as well just admit it's hot garbage

Do we do the same with your favorite N64 games then?

A beautiful thing. Give these idiots a bit of rope and they'll just up and hang themselves for you. It's how I got rid of Babs.

Good. OoT is crap from today's point of view.

Space harrier was the "dorothy enters technicolor" equivalent in video game history. You had to be there, sorry you missed out.

Trying to explain this experience to some child who grew up with a tablet since he was 4, and wikipedia existing for his entire life? Impossible.

That's Space Harrier 2, yeah?

I've always thought it was a waste that none of the Strike Witches games were Space Harrier clones
