The 32X version is fantastic. However, 3D Space Harrier on Master System is really solid, and the Turbografx version's not half bad in my opinion, though the floor tiling isn't as good. The main thing in my mind is that even if Sega initially put an arcade game on weak hardware, they saw the value in putting it out again later on hardware that could do it justice, like 32X Space Harrier or Saturn After Burner and Out Run. They believed that the games were good enough on their own merits to be worth putting them out there again, even after the arcade hardware was obselete. I commend them for that.
