there is no level 7 in space harrier on the C64, there were four or five as I remember, and then then it just resets and claims, the previous levels , were new levels, lack of memory, as with Chris Butler, other conversions being the problem
-
This is the European version.

Do you remember the "Expert" cartdridge from Trilogic? My big brother copied a lot of tape games to disk with it. Mind you, the disk drive only lasted about 6 months before it packed in, lol.

@JasonLee310 man it took you three years to reply? Anyway you might be right. I really enjoyed this game as a kid though. you cant expect the game to look anywhere near as good as the arcade version.

Had this game on my trusty 64. Great soundtrack (as usual for a C64 game) but the gameplay was terrible.
-
c64 has very impressive music ability.
-
Someone good burp the Space Harrier theme and I would still rock to it.
-
Sad to see they didnt even add a scrolling rasterbar ground on the c64 version, a feature that is so easy to do on this machine. Would love to see what a modern remake on the c64 of this arcade could have been. The latest Atari port is quite impressive.

@Mrxdyuxd arcade is very good
-
@Mrxdyuxd oh i got a saturn. i need to play saturn version :) game gear version is pretty cool
-
@Mrxdyuxd i think the space harrier theme from japanese master system bios is the best version. SEGA!
-
@Mrxdyuxd i think its a hardware limitation in the sid chip
-
Where there floating heads in the arcade version ?!

@Glumglufs It's sad that in the 80s the gameprogrammers did not take enough time to program the atari xl/xe, after years you see nice ports of 80s games from the c64 especially. So it is getting slowly proved that the atari xl/xe can do much more than what people thought. Some c64 guys/fans keep yelling that their machine is the superieur one, unfortunately, some c64 fans even yell better than amiga and st, can you imagine?
-
@Glumglufs Even the 8-bit atari computers got a better port? You probable are one of those c64 guys who think the c64 is the master machine. You're so wrong!
-
Well, if you were a good Sega fanboy, such as myself, you would have a 32X - which did get a great port of space harrier.

fast

I used to play this on the C64, it's been so long that I forgot how bad this conversion was. The memories have come flooding back. The music is quite good, that's about all lol
-
This port had the potential to be much better then the Master System version, considering that the C64 has about 47kb more ram then the Master System (IIRC the master system had 13kb), and i'm pretty sure the MOS 6502 was more powerful then the master system's Z80...

I remember owning this and wishing I had a master system. My parents would NEVER buy me one ( or a NES ). I had the commodore and vic20. Kids on my block never came over to play...I was teased. Years of therapy, and I'm still not over it...
