Space Harrier II was one of the launch titles of the legendary Mega Drive (Genesis). This is a third-person action game where players control Harrier, a superhero capable of running and flying at top speed while firing an enormous cannon. And there's a lot of shooting to be done, given that each of the twelve levels of the game is swarming with enemies.
To some extent, gameplay in Space Harrier II is similar to that of certain modern endless runners. Your hero runs forward nonstop, but can be moved all over the screen using the virtual d-pad. The action buttons are only to make him shoot. To defeat some of the bosses however, you will need to fire with extreme accuracy.
Space Harrier II forms part of the 'SEGA Forever' line, a series of classic videogames officially launched by the mobile device corporation which, besides offering the games in the exact format they were conceived in, also give you the opportunity to customize the touchscreen controls and even save the game at any time. They're all Free-to-Play, so you only see built-in ads at the beginning. Once you start playing there are no ad banners or the like to hinder the experience.
