The series was launched on the Sega Saturn in 1996. Entries were published for the PlayStation 2 as ''Sega Ages 2500'', a reference to its bargain ¥2500 price point. The series later came to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as ''Sega Ages Online'', and finally to the Nintendo Switch as simply ''Sega Ages''.

Space Harrier
is a third-person arcade rail shooter game developed by Sega and released in 1985. It was originally conceived as a realistic military-themed game played in the third-person perspective and featuring a player-controlled fighter jet, but technical and memory restrictions resulted in Sega developer Yu Suzuki redesigning it around a jet-propelled human character in a fantasy setting. The arcade game is controlled by an analog flight stick while the deluxe arcade cabinet is a cockpit-style win electric motors motion simulator cabinet that tilts and rolls during play, for which it is referred as a ''taikan'' (体感) or "body sensation" arcade game in Japan.
