Description
Super-VGA Harrier is a combat and strategy game, developed by Simis Limited. It was released in 1993 and runs on the DOS platform.
It was the first Super VGA flight simulation game developed by Simis.
Super-VGA Harrier is a sequel to AV8B Harrier Assault, released just a couple of months earlier. The former is a graphical update over
the latter, where the VGA graphics was replaced by the superior SVGA graphics. With the advanced SVGA graphics, the game has a Pixel
resolution of 640 x 400 and resembles the graphics seen in military simulations.
In the game, the player leads a military operation of capturing Western Timor. They command an entire assault group including
helicopters, planes, ships, landing crafts, ground troops, and more. The player assumes the role of the commander and develops a strategy
to capture the land, that is being invaded by enemies. A lot of attention has been paid to the modes in combat planes.
To win, The player needs to shoot down enemy planes and bomb the enemy territory. The campaign progresses in real-time and the player
needs to strategize as per the movements of the enemy. The game offers limited resources to complete the campaign, which increases
the difficulty level considerably. The graphics and lighting effects change according to the time of day, changing from dawn to dusk to
nighttime. The graphics in the game are so detailed and life-like that a religious group in Australia tried to get the game banned for
being offensive to the Timorese people.
