Time for a bit of Space Harrier on the Sega Mega Drive 32X! The arcade original appeared back in 1985, and the 32X received a rather impressive conversion in 1994. Sega’s little add-on didn’t have the longest commercial life, but it certainly had some interesting games.

Space Harrier sends you flying straight into the screen, blasting enemies and dodging whatever’s coming your way. Colourful sprites, scaling effects and plenty of chaos! It’s a pretty good way of showing off what the 32X could do, which makes a nice change from all the time I’ve spent trying to get Mega Drive and 32X hardware to cooperate. At least this time we’re looking at a game instead of another circuit board!
