Yes, we still have a forum.
The real draw, though, was the game’s motion cabinet: you sat in a cockpit-style seat connected to two motors that provided jolting eight-directional movement. When the Harrier flew up, you went up with it, when he banked to the left or right, you did too. Enemies would fly at you constantly, coming from all angles, switching directions and altitude, so you were constantly swooping and rising, flinging yourself around, living every moment. All the while, a synth pop score composed by Hiroshi Kawaguchi, who also worked on Suzuki’s games After Burner and OutRun, blasted out of speakers in the seat’s headrest. And groundbreaking speech synthesis allowed the machine to bark out encouragement and instruction. “Welcome to the Fantasy Zone, get ready!”Space Harrier, then, was a complete sensory experience, which perfectly illustrated Suzuki’s expertise in immersion.
