Developer:
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).

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.

A shoots. C fires a bomb (you have a limited supply). Some powerups can be arranged around the ship in a variety of formations; use B to cycle through them.
