THE UNCONVERTED

PLANET HARRIERS

DEVELOPER: AMUSEMENT VISION YEAR: 2000 GENRE: ON-RAILS SHOOTER

We’re all huge fans of Space Harrier here at Retro Gamer, which makes this series entry one of our most unfortunate The Unconverted titles. It might well be the ‘King Of The Unconverted’ for us, especially as it was a rare sight to see in arcades when it was released. If you were lucky enough to find it, you’d discover an opulent two-player coin-op, running on Sega’s powerhouse Hikaru arcade hardware, that was as visually remarkable as Space Harrier appeared back in 1985.
