Check out Space Harrier for the Sharp MZ-700

This is lovely and funny.

If you squint, or watch from the back of your room you can almost see that it's really Space Harrier.

1 red pixel above 1 blinking black/red pixel represents and gets away with being an arm around a cannon. Pretty awesome. (I actually mean that non-sarcastically, it is amazing)

Very sentimental. It almost reminds me of my early 1980s monochrome CGA monitor experiences with trying to play a game where the letter X, floating/flying across the screen, is supposed to be an airplane. Lots of imagination needed back then.

Good old 'Flatland' explanation by tv character Dr. Sheldon Cooper.

The letter X is clearly an X wing fighter and not an airplane.

The thing had no graphics hardware to speak of. It's a 3.58Mhz Z80 kicking around 8x8 pixel char blocks at breakneck speed. The whole game is there. It's insane. It's raw. It's 8-bit sushi.

But.....it was WWI flying simulation game where the letter M was supposed to represent the mountain while letter T represented the tree. X could fly through letter M, but if hitting letter T, it meant plane crashed. X marked the 'T' spot way too many times.


It got to the point that even the Wang wordprocessor system back then with its 8" mortarboard size floppy diskettes was more entertaining. At least those could be flung around like frisbees through the computer lab.

Good old 80's music. I am still revisiting Pages music (before group became Mister Mr.) and forgot about drummer Jeff Porcaro used to do a session or two on a couple songs from one of their albums.

It's either Jeff Porcaro or the LM-2

Jeff did the drumming that the Linn machine sampled. So, either way, it's Jeff.

Let's emulate that sucker in MAME.


"Jeff must live on." [in MAME]

paraphrasing George Costanza's Seinfeld Frogger episode comment.



Meanwhile brings up James Newton Howard and friends Sheffield Labs album for memory sake with Jeff [drums] and his father Joe [percussion].

On a contrary, anti-aliasing will add blur even more !
