Summary

Task Force Harrier EX translates the frantic vertical‑scrolling action of the 1989 arcade hit into a tight Genesis experience. You pilot the Harrier V fighter, a sleek jet that can unleash separate volleys at airborne foes and ground‑based threats, forcing you to juggle two attack lanes at once.
Power‑ups litter the sky: smart bombs clear the screen, weapon upgrades boost firepower, and the standout addition is a pair of invulnerable satellite drones that you can reposition on the fly, turning a simple shooter into a tactical puzzle.
The game offers three difficulty levels, each scaling enemy patterns and bullet density, and a solid twelve‑stage progression that keeps the pace relentless without ever feeling repetitive.
