Harrier Attack

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.

Gameplay

The player controls a Sea Harrier fighter, flying to the right over a scrolling seascape and landscape viewed from the side. The goals are 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.
