This is just ad injection shovelware wrapped in a Space Harrier shell

Instead of TravelShooter, this game should be called "Ad Shovelware Harrier" instead - there's ads on the start and pause screen, full screen ads between levels, and mandatory 5 second full screen autoplaying video ads on retry. I love Sega & Space Harrier and, to be fair, this game is actually a pretty good adaptation with decent controls and a novel premise of touring Japan. Even the title is a (probably accidental) cool reference to Trouble Shooter/Battle Mania, a rad run and gunner on the Genesis. The schoolgirl as a main character concept in a Space Harrier-clone has already been done way back on the Famicom in Animal Attack Gakuen though. Anyway, this game constantly bombards ads at every break and really takes away from whatever atmosphere the game had going, and just cheapens the experience entirely. If the ads were reduced to just banners on the Start & Pause screen, it'd be a much better game. Sorry, man. I know developers have to make a living but there's a better way than this. Have some integrity, please?

That was fun

Great value for old school gamers

Anyone with a love for Space Harrier should give this hidden gem a try; the tilt controls work extremely well with this kind of gameplay once you get the hang of it.
