Space Harrier's Amiga port is actually very well done and better than most ports done around the same time. It's fluid and is almost as detailed as the original. Well done. 9/10

Maybe Space Harrier has not aged entirely well but back in the 80's playing in in the arcades was a terrific experience. Elite ported the game to the Amiga in a very competent way and the result is a conversion as close to the original as it could have been. A great classic (7/10).

Among Yu Suzuki's magnificent 3D games from the 1980's (OutRun, Afterburner, Power Drift and G-LOC being others), this and Super Hang-On were the only ones that weren't destroyed in the porting process to 16-bit computers. Ironically enough, they are also the two playable arcade games in Shenmue on the Dreamcast.

I agree that this was really well done. I remember being a little intimidated by the one in the arcade. People really got good at it and I didn't want to jump up to it only to last 90 seconds. I remember one machine had actual movement with the game. Very good in the arcade. On Amiga it was nearly as good visually. Very fun game until the levels get really really hard.

This is a actually a very good conversion.

To anyone who found the player moved too slow for their liking: Try the mouse control. It's as quick as you could wish for.

To anyone who suggests this was a half-arsed port: Sorry, but that's just incorrect.

This game was weird, like few are, but I believe I liked it for this very reason. Oh, and I kicked ass too!

Another half-arsed Sega port.

I remember I was quite attracted by this game at the time, used to load it from time to time, it was one of the first games I had on the Amiga that had nice colourful graphics to show your friends...

Basically I felt very positive about this game but I always got very soon tired with this.

Liked the 3D technique in this game and the graphics were big and well defined. A competent conversion in my view of a pretty average arcade game, my bro loved it though as I could never get him off the Amiga!

The main problem with Space Harrier is that the players movements are too slow, whilst the enemies are too fast. That spoils the gameplay on what could have been an excellent conversion. Pity as the Graphics are arcade quality.

A most impressive conversion. The best of the elite-produced adaptations, a highpoint after similarly sucessful paperboy, ghosts n goblins, buggy boy and commando.

"space harrier" goes to show how great all Amiga games (especially coin-op conversions) could have looked. Had elite released it alongside EA's "marble madness" in 1985, the world may have been different...

Great conversion of the legendary Sega arcade game. Excellent GFX (full screen mode!) and sound and high playability.
This is one of the best porting of Mr.Harrier on home computer if not the best.
The only "problem" is that the original game is split in two part: this one and its sequel/add on (but playable on its own) called RETURN TO FANTASY ZONE (Kim, please upload it too) which features the remaining stages of the arcade missing in this.
