Developed and published by Sega.
What the press said at the time
| Mean Machines Sega Issue 3 | December 1992 | OVERALL 78% |
“Space Harrier 3D is almost identical to the above version, but works with 3D glasses. It's one of the better 3D games around, and should be tried out.”
Before you buy
Three releases exist. The US cart is above the middle loose. The European and Japanese carts cost somewhat more loose, and the Japanese one is about the same complete. The Japanese cart is a different, smaller shape that does not fit a Western console without an adapter. The SegaScope glasses are optional. The look-alike risk is low.
