the 32X version is the best
We'll have to remember to nominate it.
The game was translated to various home computer systems and consoles. The game was runner-up in the category of Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards.[11] Among the home versions, the ports for the Sega 32X, the Sega Saturn and the Sharp X68000 (the latter being a Japan-only) are considered to be the most faithful to the original arcade version.
The game is also playable on the Dreamcast (within Shenmue, Shenmue II and Yu Suzuki Game Works Vol. 1) and Xbox (within Shenmue II). It is included in Sega Arcade Gallery for the Game Boy Advance and the enhanced Japanese Sega Ages vol.4 PS2 remake is included in the Eur/NA Sega Classics Collection (a compilation DVD including other games from the same era that were remade for modern audiences) for the PlayStation 2.
Space Harrier II for the Sega Mega Drive was released for Nintendo's Virtual Console on December 18, 2006 while the first Space Harrier for the Sega Master System was released in Europe on October 17, 2008 and in North America on November 3, 2008.[12] The arcade version was released on the Virtual Console in Japan on March 26, 2009, in the PAL regions on May 29, 2009 and in North America on June 15, 2009.[13]
The arcade version of Space Harrier is available as an unlockable game in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles. While the port's emulation is accurate to the arcade original, there are off-pitch voices and music in the port's sound emulation.
A port of the game is currently in development for Nintendo 3DS via the Nintendo eShop, featuring stereoscopic 3D and widescreen graphics.[14]
^talk about widely accessible!
I know it's early (but it's like 60 degrees lately in MA regardless of being "Summer") but I still say Metal Gear
Solid is a good idea for 2014 TR as well.
