Space Harrier
The success of "Space Harrier" resulted in the development of other first/third-person rail shooters that attempted to emulate its three-dimensional scaling, visuals, and gameplay capabilities, causing them to be labeled ""Space Harrier" clones". The most notable example was the 1987 Square title "The 3-D Battles of WorldRunner" for the Famicom and Nintendo Entertainment System, which was followed by Pony Canyon's 1987 Famicom release "Attack Animal Gakuen" and other Japan-exclusive games such as Namco's "Burning Force", Asmik's "Cosmic Epsilon", and Wolf Team's "Jimmu Denshō", all released in 1989. According to "AllGame", Nintendo's "Star Fox" (1993) "was influenced by early first-person 3D shooters such as" "Space Harrier".
