A great chase-view title and Space Harrier-esque game with power-ups and plenty of bad guys to shoot, developed by Namco in the Arcades in 1989. An excellent Sega Genesis / MD conversion would be released a little later in 1990 (and, unlike the Arcade game, was released outside Japan). Hiromi Tengenji (The female protagonist) also appears in Namco X Capcom and the unfinished Doujin game, "Cross Theater". You can gain various power-ups (Concentrated laser shot, powerful wide shot, circular shot, different missiles), play several bonus levels, and even fly freely on some levels as you would in Space Harrier. You die here if you're shot once, though you can collide with enemies and objects and not be destroyed automatically (you'll be slightly stunned though). If you want a SH alternative, you can't go wrong with BF. It's got an awesome soundtrack, a hot girl, and more variety in both what you can do and how enemies are presented and fight than the age-old SH, though to be fair, SH was much older when it debuted; it just hasn't changed much.

This is a video of the first day. Enjoy.
