Classic Game Room HD reviews AFTER BURNER II for Sega Genesis / Mega Drive! Released in 1990 this is one of the best games on the Sega Genesis and created by master game designer Yu Suzuki, who previously designed Out Run and Hang On! This CGRHD review of After Burner II has gameplay footage recorded from After Burner 2 showing Afterburner 2 game play of the F-14 fighter jet blowing away waves of enemy jets and helicopters (even though the Afterburner II game cartridge shows an F-15 Eagle instead of an F-14 Tomcat.) Do you like Top Gun on the NES? This game puts it to shame. Yu Suzuki's arcade masterpiece from 1987 makes an explosive appearance on the Genesis with smooth, colorful gameplay and excellent controls. The music is some of the best music ever heard on the Genesis and this entire cartridge of awesomeness can be had for a few bucks today providing years of enjoyment. If you like arcade style flight combat games then you will LOVE After Burner II from Sega for the Genesis and Megadrive. Classic Game Room HD reviews Sega arcade games on Genesis like Afterburner 2 because CGRHD is a Sega Genesis reviewer reviewing classics and old school games on the Megadrive.

the final countdown, man its so awesome that ya mentioned that one

@brtshstel 15 жыл бұрын

Agreed. The Final Countdown was a great movie. That movie is so old that Martin Sheen looks like Charlie and Kirk Douglas looks like Michael. I also liked the fact that it was a science fiction movie and not a friggin romance movie where a guy loses his balls after his friend dies and turns into a crybaby.

Oh man, my local funworks had this game. It was so cool because you climbed inside a cockpit simulator that tilted left or right by how you moved the joystick. After a few years it broke and it didn't move anymore, but it was still my favorite game in the arcade.

@Disthron 15 жыл бұрын

Nice review. It looks really good despite the lower quality recording. I have to say, I had a problem recording Tex Murphy 3 and had to use my dvd-recorder. It did bother me that the recoding quality took a hit but at least I could actually get it to without the glitches.

You can turn on the autofire in options, but I agree the port should have been better. They should have had more different terrain and included the plane landing sequences. Outrun used twice the cartridge size and they should never have put After Burner II on a mere 4mbit cart.

Two things after burner related" 1.) There's after burner: black falcon for the PSP. Its an awesome game! its everything that makes afterburner great on the PSP and more! 2.) Afterburner Climax, a SEGA arcade released in 2006, IS coming to the 360 and PSN this Spring. Thats a great game and plays homage to this after burner.

In fact, it was a Top Gun game, but without the licence. The first After Burner was released after the great success of the movie. You can see photos during the demontration which clearly shows "Maverick" in the cockpit and some shots showing the Tomcats from outside.

Ah yes, stuck here sick at home, waiting on my stupid covid test, and binge watching old Classic Game Room reviews. This game was a favorite of mine in arcades, master system and eventually on Genesis and despite playing all three of them a million times my Dad could never remember it's name and still calls it 'F-14 Tom Bomb'.. to this day. So I've adopted the habit.. nice review on an old favorite of mine, F-14 Tom Bomb!

You should try finding a scart RGB cable for your genesis. You might need a RGB -> Component converter, but the quality is significantly better than even S-Video.

@misterk81 15 жыл бұрын

Absolutely, the 32X version was pretty close to being arcade perfect... it really was one of the better home ports of this game... though I think there may have also been an arcade perfect port on the Saturn as well (which is kinda rare, I think?)... and Shenmue II had a playable version of the game too, in one of the arcades. There is also an arcade perfect version of Space Harrier on the 32X as well.

@Troyman021 Granted it's on the default config but you can (and should) turn it off in the options. I despise autofire on general principle as it basically cheapens the game.

If you like this, you really need to get your hands on the 32X version, called After Burner Complete. It KILLS this version graphically and sound wise, and doesn't make your guns fire constantly.

At least they didn't goof the cover art up as bad as Bomber Raid on the SMS. They show an SR-71 Blackbird dropping bombs despite it being a spy plane and on top of that the player is flying a World War 2 Era fighter plane not a supersonic spy plane 😅
