A series of arcade games (later ported to various consoles) made by Sega, wherein a blonde fellow by the name of "Harrier" would constantly run into the screen, three-dimentionally, shooting or avoiding anything in his way. The original game,&developed by Yu Suzuki, the man behind Sega's other contemporaneous arcade hits, Outrun and After Burner (and the music thereto), was released in 1986 (?), to wide acclaim. Some very similar, derivitive sequels followed.
