Space Harrier II (スペースハリアーII, Supēsu Hariā Tsū) is a 1988 third-person rail shooter video game developed and published by Sega.
Like the original, the game involves a superhuman hero who runs and flies towards a forever distant background on a checkerboard-styled ground.
The player can hit any of the controller's buttons to cause the Space Harrier character to fire his large laser cannon (four shots at a time).
As the playing field moves forward, enemies come from behind and from the far distance to attack the character, by either firing a projectile or trying to crash into him.
One hit from an enemy or a crash into these large objects will cause the player to lose a life; extra lives are awarded every certain number of points.
