About this game

A Sega Genesis port of arcade game "After Burner II". Take to the skies in your F-14 Tomcat for epic dogfights and intense aerial battles. Lock on to your targets and shoot down enemy formations with your machine gun or a barrage of homing missiles.

After Burner II is an arcade-style flight game released by Sega in 1987. It is the second game in the After Burner series. In the game, players fly a F-14 Tomcat jet fighter, gunning down enemies while avoiding incoming fire. Like OutRun, another Sega arcade game, After Burner II came in several versions, the most famous being a large, servo actuated, sit-down cabinet which resembled a cockpit and moved according to the motion of the plane onscreen. The cockpit would bank in the same direction the on-screen aircraft was banking. There was also a more basic upright cabinet version.
