Developer: UPL

Treco

Genre: Shoot-'em-Up

Release	Date	RRP	Code

Task Force Harrier is a relatively little-known 1989 arcade shoot-'em-up by UPL ported to the Sega Mega Drive in 1991 by Treco and released exclusively in the US and Japan as the much more well-known Task Force Harrier EX (タスクフォースハリアーＥＸ). Being an early game, it features very basic graphics, but very clear PCM audio for voices and sound effects.

Story

A communist group comes out of hiding and begin conquering the world, alerting the UN to call out Falcon, a noted fighter pilot, to stop them; however the communists have already readied their freedom-destroying superbomber, the TU-190, to launch towards the US, making Falcon's job more rash. Consequently he is given the Falcon V, an experimental airship, for this job.

Gameplay

shoots and fires bombs at the ground, similar to Xevious. fires a screen filling smartbomb (you have a limited supply). Powerups can be collected the enhance the main shot, standard bombs and options around the ship. Options can be arranged around the ship in a variety of formations; use to cycle through them. Similar to the Force item in Template:R-Type these options absorb enemy bullets. Furthermore they affect the ship's speed. Each stage has two sections. The first section takes place high above the ground with options available. The second section plays closer to the ground with options removed.
