Yeah, but you wouldn't be saying that if you were playing Space Harrier on
the Amiga (like I usually am).   I don't believe it - despite Sega's usual
policy of releasing inferior versions of their games for non-Sega machines,
they finally came up with a winner for the Amiga (by accident, no doubt).
In my humble opinion, Space Harrier for the Amiga is BETTER than in the
arcades!  Admittedly, on some objects, the detail is inferior, and a couple
of monsters were left out, but a couple of others were added, and some detail
on some of the objects is actually superior!  Also, the sky is a beautiful
multi-hued color which is simply much more beautiful than in the arcades.
But probably the main thing which makes this game one of the all-time winners
for any machine is - the thing's so blindingly fast!  Much faster than the
arcades;  this thing's almost as fast as Afterburner!  I tried playing Space
Harrier in the arcades recently, and I felt like I was playing in slow motion.

In short, any of you that have Amigas out there and like Sega's 3-D rush-at-you
kind of games, BUY THIS GAME!!!
