History

Checkered plains rush toward a flying hero in Space Harrier (1986), Yu Suzuki's super-scaler arcade shooter. Dragons, cyclops, and a chant of "Get ready" fill a cabinet whose scaling hardware defined the ride.

An NES port exists and cannot match that cabinet. The checkered ground and the into-the-screen speed depend on the arcade board Suzuki's team built.

Sega's super-scaler machine is the identity of the game. The home cart is a reduced echo of the plain, the dragons, and the flying pose.
