Space Harrier 3-D (スペースハリアー3D Supēsu Hariā Surī Dī) is a video game developed by Sega in 1988 for the Sega Master System. It is a sequel to the original Space Harrier.
Plot
The Space Harrier returns to stop an evil tyrant from corrupting the peaceful Land of the Dragons by finding Euria, the missing heir to the throne. The player character can run across the ground or fly using his flight belt. There are thirteen game stages, and the player fights an evil captain at the end of each stage. After completing all 13 stages, the player must then fight each of the captains, one at a time in sequence; after that, the evil king then comes after the player to prevent the player from ending his tyranny over the Land of the Dragons.[3]
Gameplay
Space Harrier 3-D is a fast-paced three-dimensional action game played with the SEGA controller. The game has a continuation feature that allows players to play on even if killed, similar to putting another token into a coin-operated game to continue even though your time has run out. An option screen allows the player to alter the difficulty of the game or change from 3-D to 2-D. Playing the game in 3D requires SegaScope 3-D Glasses,[3] or similar LCD shutter glasses.[citation needed]
Reception
The game was reviewed in 1989 in Dragon #144 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 5 out of 5 stars.[3]
