Space Harrier Arcade (Sonic's UGC Xbox 360)

Postby Alucard1191 » September 3rd, 2021, 8:50 pm

Alright, I'm experiencing this arcade classic for the first time at any real length thanks to finally unlocking it on Sonic's UGC. (Super Thunder Blade to unlock... not a game I like.)

My only experience with this modern day was on my genesis mini. Holy crap what a difference!

My youth arcade experience was in the 90's, things like Alien vs Predator, the various street fighters and mortal kombats, light gun games like house of the dead and time crisis, etc.

I missed out. The arcade version of space harrier is absolutely fantastic. The sense of speed is crazy, the world design is a total trip, and the music is great. Difficulty level even on easy is really tough, but reasonable. Most times now I make it all the way through the first level without dying!

I really wish Sega had more of these sprite scaling games (the arcade versions) available. I'd totally buy a switch compilation with a bunch of these types of games.
