This game was my first contact with the 3D set of games on Master System. A cousin had it, but, he did not knew about the existence of the 3D glasses. Well, the game is great, a lot of action on the screen, a lot of sprites moving. One thing that came to our attention when playing the game was that you fly, but, if you press down on the joystick, you run. And running you are able to escape a lot of levels without receiving a single shot.
It was a bit hard to play the game without the glasses. You know, what happened with my cousin happened to me. My father gave me the 3D glasses on my birthday, but, he did not bought a game. Serious, it was funny, i had the glasses and my cousin had the game.
We had some kind of a fight because of the situation. Why? Well, he did not wanted to lend me the game, and i was afraid to lend him the glasses because of his history of broking things. So, i could only play the game when my uncle bring him to visit my house.

Secret message
If you activate the sound test, select sounds 7, 4, 3, 7, 4, 8 and exit, a secret message will appear that says "HELLO! THIS IS ZHG 97591. GOOD FORTUNE DOES NOT ALWAYS REPEAT ITSELF." This message refers to the first Space Harrier game for SMS, as doing the same thing would enable a cheat in that game.
