 Originally conceived as a realistic military-themed game played in the third-person perspective and featuring a player-controlled fighter jet, technical and memory restrictions at the time resulted in Sega developer Yu Suzuki redesigning it to fit a fantasy setting centered around a jet-propelled human character.
 Critically praised for its innovative graphics and gameplay, "Space Harrier" is often ranked among Suzuki's best works and considered the first successful entry in the third-person and rail shooter game genres.
 It has made several crossover appearances in other Sega titles and inspired clone games by various developers, while PlatinumGames director Hideki Kamiya cited it as an inspiration for his entering the video game industry.
