After Burner Theme (Arcade)

[jmmyvega]

corneria?

[Alevamltd]

@jmmyvega

This came WAY before that.

[jmmyvega]

@Alevamltd of course, its just that it sounds very similar to corneria.

[jun0nsj]

うわー超またやりたいッス。あの筐体で！

[taiyaki2]

25年経っても古くなっていないのが、あのころのSEGAの凄さ­。

Missile lock.

Fire fire fire fire fire fire

Continue?

[HyrdaRancher]

Sounds a lot like Corneria theme with some modifications



[Callyfin]

@HyrdaRancher You'll find this came way, way before.

[ShizuokaDolphin]

Eastbourne Pier, the South East of England had this in the huge rotating machine version. It was 50p a go, and as such out the price range of this 11 year old. Used to love watching people on it, though.

[HotaruZoku]

THAT is what I miss most in video game music today. Heaven knows I'm infinitly appreciative of every Halo and Human Revolution sound track, but this tiny little thing -

There's no more LEAD IN MUSIC.

Arcade games have that build at the start, where the game finds a cool way of throwing you into the action, and it sets this...meditative tone I'm in utter love with.

[cyberfennek]

Who cares about Starfox anyway i got a F14 and some of the coolest music made in a game :)

[kinmanyuen]

[DarkDemon25]

THIS is the reason SEGA ruled the f&%$#ng Arcade!!!

[MoskitoMoonstrider]

right now I recall what the music from the motorbike stage in Bayonetta was from, awesome :-)

[TekkenXer]

FUUUUUCK. I would listen to this theme while drag racing. Its getting me pumped up. Thanks for posting this

[KHsonicdude23]

Star Fox ain't got shit on Afterburner.

Now when are the furries gonna come and pound my face into the ground?

[ivan2294]

@KHsonicdude23 Actually, I agree :D

[chibininja69]

@KHsonicdude23 - Barrel rolls cannot save them from the missile attack. >:3

[ivan2294]

Both the 16-bit (8-bit?), and new soundtrack kick ass in climax.

[tdark987]

Seems this is where they got the inspiration of Starfox's corneria music... Both begin in a very similar way, and the transition to the main melody is almost identical.

[Carver531]

@tdark987 I like to listen to the Starfox music when I play AB, especially Corneria

[ivan2294]

@tdark987 if you like at the SNES, 64, and some of the Gamecube(Assault) levels, you can tell that Starfox itself was probably inspired from afterburner.

[FieraDevilWings]

@ivan2294 - Indeed, temporary speed boost (or brake), homing charged blasts (in reference to missiles) and THE BARREL ROLL before it was really a Barrel Roll, but then again, we're looking at Star Fox 64/Lylat Wars if we want all that.

[SuaveTito]

@FieraDevilWings After Burner was closer to a barrel roll than Star Fox. The Star Fox "barrel roll" is an aileron roll.

[FieraDevilWings]

@SuaveTito - Searched up the aileron roll. You're quite right, actually, but that would probably be because you can still move freely with the controls when you use it ingame.

[SuaveTito]

@FieraDevilWings Yeah, Climax's looks even more like a barrel roll. Of course "Do an aileron roll! (Press Z or R twice)" just isn't as catchy, y'know?

[FieraDevilWings]

@SuaveTito - And think about it - it could have been a barrel roll, but the G-Diffusers would stabilise the course of the ship so it does not appear to be one.

[SuaveTito]

@FieraDevilWings I suppose so, but even still the G-Diffuser could have made it a barrel roll while staying on course, just a really tight one that would cause Fox to black out. That pesky G-Diffuser makes tearing apart the Star Fox physics really hard (the Arwing's low stall speed, how such a "barrel roll" wouldn't cause Fox to black out even in space, et al).

[FieraDevilWings]

@SuaveTito - The mere fact that they're all animas is enough for you to go WTF (Andross is a VERY MAD MONKEY!)

[SuaveTito]

@FieraDevilWings Haha, Andross isn't even that. He's a brain with eyes and tentacles disguised as a money head and hands that makes terrible puns ("Only I have the brains to rule Lylat"). If that doesn't make you go Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, nothing will.

[FieraDevilWings]

@SuaveTito - Then get me a stage 'cause I'm dancing!

[Bloodlyshiva]

@SuaveTito He was weirder in Starfox/Starwing. Human head disguising what I can only assume is a CPU cube with his head on it.

[SuaveTito]

@Bloodlyshiva I know, right?

[D313370r]

Dang it, my speakers won't go loud enough.

[DrachMajor]

Kenny Loggins WISHES he could have come up with such a bad ass flight song.

[redbemani]

@DrachMajor There both kick ass songs really. : D

[bluemax1990]

thanks for uploading this great tune,reminds me of playing the arcade game,

[nerdycub]

When Afterburner Climax comes out on XBLA and PSN I hope this song is in it like it was in the arcade.

[BCob66]

Threre's a video on here somewhere with console play footage showing you CAN select the soundtrack.

[NightSprinter]

@nerdycub Seriously? I loved playing the game in the arcades (and definitely one reason why I went to DisneyQuest when I was in Florida). Look forward to that.

[nerdycub]

Ya I don't remember the release date, it was posted on Kotaku like 3 months ago but I think April maybe, don't quote me on that though.

[ivan2294]

@nerdycub it is.

[BenJabituya]

@nerdycub It actually is. I downloaded Afterburner Climax from the PlayStation Network to my PS3.

[nerdycub]

@BenJabituya To inform you, you are replying to an 11 month old post. I have it and played the ever living shit out of it.

[xXBatmanFreakXx]

hell yeah

[falnredemption]

Bayonetta?

[noeldc]

There is a better version of this with additional instruments.

[pornostar100]

wooooooooooooooo

[921144666]

im playing this full blast in my truck with the windows down going at least....5 mph over the speed limit!

[ravencaliber]

i heard this on a game internet radio on my psps its so sick

[pornostar100]

Awesome!

[soopahsoopah]

This was a great theme, always sounded so cool once it switched to this one at the beginning of stage 4

[gerodinis]

Best game music EVER!

[kinmanyuen]

Thia is my favourite ingame arcade music in the 80's.... it's screaming topgun!

[BasilEstAuBresil]

good stuff :)

[CDCST57350]

super

[dragon5521]
