I'm a staunch "Space Harrier" fan so I'm eager to see more of this. I remember buying the PC Engine HuCard version soon after reading Jeff's glowing review in one of the newsletters. I was staggered that something so close to the arcade version was running on my home TV.

I also enjoyed a good 2P session on the sequel "Planet Harriers" at a Japanese coin-op show that was playing the day before one of the Tokyo Game Shows. A friend at Famitsu got some passes for myself and Paul Glancey so we spent a good few hours in a massive hall full of the latest machines as well as a massive retro section.

There's just *something* about this game. I can't quite put my finger on it. I guess you just had to be there at the time perhaps.

A lot of that does remind me of Space Harrier - including the difficulty of seeing bullets headed straight at you.

30p for a credit on a game where you don't even know how hard it is. Agree, shocking.

But then again, dropping a pound into "Mad Dog McCree" felt like something for lottery winners only.

I love Space Harrier so quite obviously I'm thrilled for this...do wish we'd get a port of Planet Harriers as well though.
