Harrier Combat Simulator (also known as High Roller[1]) is a combat flight simulation game published in 1987 by Mindscape for the Commodore 64. Ports for Amiga, Atari ST and IBM PC (as a self-booting disk) followed in 1988.
Gameplay
Harrier Combat Simulator is a game in which the player assumes the role of a pilot in a Harrier-jet.[2] The player needs to become proficient in flying the jet, including its horizontal and vertical thrust and its advanced weaponry.[2] The player pilots the only jet fighter that was not destroyed in a saboteur attack, and will need to destroy the headquarters of the enemy before they can launch a successful attack to destroy the Sixth Fleet.[3] Most of the missions take place in Grenada, which was undergoing an American-led military invasion during the year 1984.[2]
Reception
Harrier was reviewed in 1988 in Dragon #131 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.[3] The Palm Beach Post that year said that the game "would have been a pretty impressive simulator a couple of years ago", but compared to Falcon, Fokker Triplane, Gunship, and F/A-18 Interceptor, Harrier was "primitive" and "silly".[4] Computer Gaming World rated the game a 2 of 5 in 1991[5] and 1992.[6][7]
