You know, it is funny. Every time I see that game, I am reminded of when I was a kid in the supermarket with my dad. We had a Space Harrier cab there and I would always beg him for a quarter to go play and he (of course) would give me one, but always with a curious smirk on his face. So, while he was checking out, I would do my level best to actually get past my previous best (level 2) and fail horribly (I was 7 and it was horribly disorienting lol), by which time he would be done with the groceries. Smirking away. Smart man, my dad. No 7 year old pestering him for candy while he was at the checkout line. Anyways, boring trip down memory lane complete haha, I'd love to give this one a try again! Sign me up sir

Duo_R · 05/15/2013, 07:46 PM

Awesome raffle. No need to enter me. Just here for the memories.

I recall playing at least 3 different arcade versions of space harrier growing up. My favorite was the full pneumatic one. As with whisper, I got some good memories attached to the game.

Swimbz surely meant to change the thread title, but it only got changed for the one post.

turboswimbz · 05/24/2013, 05:09 PM

Yep, got my posts messed up, title of first post changed it should be more obvious now. sometimes I type to fast and screw this whole forum thing up. I am le Noob.

Hell yeah, very fun time. As long as he makes it to a certain point he can continue too, so practice makes perfect (almost). Congrats!

esadajr · 05/29/2013, 10:36 AM

Congrats. Cool game, I never really got the hang of it, be it the SMS or the arcade version.

rrob78 · 05/29/2013, 11:27 AM

Congrats whisper2053!

whisper2053 · 05/29/2013, 12:24 PM

Thanks guys! I can't wait!! Also thanks to swimbz for your kind words, sir. They were much appreciated. It is good to know some out there still care ;)

Duo_R · 05/29/2013, 01:05 PM

Congrats man! BTW your story reminded me of the grocery shop trips with my dad. Except I spent the entire time reading the VG&CE issues and checking out reviews for games...lol
