Weit, weit entfernt, gibt es ein besonderes Land. Ein Land, in dem friedliche Drachen ein friedliches Leben lebten. Bis zu dem Tag, als der Angriff begann. Bösartige Kreaturen trachten danach, die Drachen endgültig zu vernichten. Sie sind ihre letzte Hoffnung, denn Sie sind der Space Harrier.

You are Harrier, the resourceful extra-terrestrial warrior. And space is your battlefield. Your mission is to save the Land of the Dragons from vicious creatures led by the vile and crafy One-eyed Mammoth. Aided by only your friends, the Dragons, you find yourself attacked again and again. You fight off one heavily-armed alien after another. You must use every trick in the book. Every skill at your command. The clashes are thrilling and demanding. The combat scenes are powerful. Can you survive the intense fighting? For your sake. For the sake of the Land of the Dragons. You must!

People always complain that the Master System version of Space Harrier is nowhere near as good as the arcade version. While this may be true, my first experience of Space Harrier was on the Master System, I didn't know of any arcade version and I sure wasn't disappointed with the Master System version. Anyway, enough of my nostalgic ramblings, Let's get into the meat of this game and I'll show you whats so good about Space Harrier. Space Harrier is a breed of game that isn't often seen nowadays. It's a forward scrolling shooter which you see from the rather strange perspective of behind the main character - the harrier. It's a style of game that has more in common with shooting games like Afterburner and Galaxy Force than any traditional character-based shooters. You play the role of the harrier who is trying to save the land of the dragons from a hostile invasion force. You must single handily blast your way through thousands of enemies. What I really like about Space Harrier is that it knows what people want. Awesome and strange enemies await you on each new level, each level has a distinctive looking boss to it and is inhabited by different enemies. Along the way you go through levels which are „speed levels“ - in which you travel at insane speeds and often end up hitting a tower. You also go through bonus levels from time-to-time in which you get to ride a dragons back and try to run over trees.. err odd. But cool! […] Space Harrier is a real oldie but Goldie. If you are missing this from your SMS collection then you really have been playing the wrong games! Space Harrier is one of Sega's classic games that everyone should own in one form or the other. The Master System version although admittedly inferior to the Arcade version is still an awesome play. - www.smstributes.co.uk
