Harrier Attack

Resident Evil 4 (2005) is the revolutionary landmark survival horror title directed by Shinji Mikami that fundamentally redefined third-person action gaming. Departing from the classic fixed-camera angles and tank controls of previous installments, the game introduced the pioneering over-the-shoulder precision camera and dynamic combat mechanics. Set six years after the cataclysmic destruction of Raccoon City, former rookie officer turned elite presidential agent Leon S. Kennedy infiltrates a desolate mountain village in rural Spain to rescue the President's abducted daughter, Ashley Graham, uncovering a terrifying biological conspiracy fueled by the mind-altering Las Plagas parasite.

Harrier Attack (stylized as Harrier Attack!) is a horizontally scrolling shooter released for the Oric-1 and ZX Spectrum in 1983 by Durell Software. Ports for the Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64 were published in 1984.

The player controls a Sea Harrier fighter, flying to the right over a scrolling seascape and landscape viewed from the side. The goals is to take off from a carrier, attack ships and land targets, avoid the occasional missile and enemy fighter, then land back on the carrier again. Although the game is a work of fiction, it was inspired by the 1982 Falklands War, in which the Sea Harrier played a major role.
