Welcome to the Fantasy Zone

Space Harrier XE is my homage to Sega’s fabulous arcade shoot ‘em up game from the ’80s – Space Harrier. It’s been (slowly) developed for the Atari XL and XE series of 8-bit computers with 64KB or more memory, which narrowly missed out on a version at the time by becoming obsolete.

Finally released in 2011 after over 10 years(!) of somewhat sporadic development in my spare time, which I’ve tried to document on this site.

Thanks

to everybody for all the support and encouragement over the years. It really helped keep my interest in completing the project alive. Thanks in particular to the enthusiastic members and visitors of the AtariAge forums, who still wanted more games for their computers and consoles.
