Dogfighting over highly populated areas. I'm always amused by video games' total lack of morality on such things.

[Asterra2]

This is perhaps the most timeless arcade game ever made. There's an updated version called After Burner Climax (some poor-quality videos exist on Youtube), and they kept the music from the 1986 game, and it still works great.

I wonder if, from this day forward, I am going to associate the emblematic level 4 music with the word "bugger". Heh.

[sparkybaz77]

On the Master system version of Afterburner, you could complete the game if you stayed in the bottom left of the screen and did nothing.

I got this game for the Saturn on the Ages Collection, it looks so good, but i haven't even tried it, and i forgot i had it too, will have to give it a go.

[julsyDCst]

Damn, I skipped this game when I was out today, it better still be there saturday!!

[SteveBenway]

I can understand you skipping it.

When this came out, I remember wondering at the sense of using a then "next gen" console to play old games that were so "last gen".

How little I knew.

[bertuzzoshi]

oups!!! you are right it's G-lock and wing wars!!! it was my mistake!!! ;))))

[bertuzzoshi]

yes!!! afterburner rocks!!! sega rocks!!!! have you seen the sega R-360 with amazing afterburner game inside!!! a real jewel!!!

[SteveBenway]

Was it After Burner in the R360? I thought they had G-Lock... though I could be mistaken.

[SpecialOperations]

@SteveBenway No. It's G-Loc Air Battle. Man it is great. But the playing experience is short. Only a few stages and the game's over.

[figment1988]

@SteveBenway there was only 2 games for the R360: G-LOC and Wing War. After Burner II on the R-360 was simply a rumor.

[LeShark75]

Cracking game again, never forget seeing this for the 1st time in Coral Island Blackpool, the music was up full blast too, no real depth but One Hell of a Ride.

[vintagevideogamegeek]

LOL at the Tom Cruise thing. I've never seen anyone get that far.

[ArcadeMeister]

Wow! That game looks REALLY good - never heard of it before but as you say, that game looks really exciting and challenging, as well.

Thanks for showing it to us. :D

[Sipie007]

You ever played After Burner Climax in the arcade? Was down in bournmouth in August and was playing on it and it was good and quite like the original with the cockpit seat moving and everything.

[SteveBenway]

Nope, I've never seen that one.

It's several years since I was in a proper arcade with lots of modern games... probably nearly 5 years, back when I still lived in Milton Keynes.

[PhoenixRisen7]

@SteveBenway you can get Afterburner Climax on 360 and PS3 (download game) for under a tenner - exactly the same as the arcade without the moving cabinet. superb. love the original too

[SteveBenway]

Another Dragon game next, and then Space Harrier. I'm alternating them, to try and cater for different tastes and age groups... or something.

[QuickSciFi]

I loved this title at the arcades (w/ the fully-interactive, pneumatic chair) That used to be a lot of fun. Yup. The one arcade in mind was also at a local theater. =)

[sinistermoon]

Good stuff man.  Love the After Burner games.

[wrestletube1]

You haven't gave the AMIGA much love lately Steve. That in my eyes is a sin. :P

[SteveBenway]

I've recorded videos of all the commercial games I own for the Amiga (except the dozens which I have lost the passwords for), so there's not much I can do about that just now.

When I've done videos of everything else, I may start looking at some of the games that came on magazine coverdisks.

[Lachlant1984]

Lost the passwords for your Amiga games? I don't know too much about the Amiga, but am I missing something here?

[SteveBenway]

Most Amiga games had passwords in their manuals, to help prevent piracy. So before you could start the game, you had to enter something like word 5, line 7, page 36... or some such.

When I moved house a few years ago, I accidentaly left the box with all of the manuals in the loft.

[bastardtubeuser]

This looks pretty close to the arcade, i think the arcade might have had some smoke / rain / cloud effects ?.

My favorite is power drift, its got that tilting effect like afterburner and really silly characters.

You weren't that bad at this !, it would be amazing to play this on the original moving machine again.

[silntdoogood]

I love catching videos right after the upload before they have fully rendered. Reminds my of what youtube used to be before google came in and gave them virtually unlimited space, and it was acclimated for dial up connections :)

-Nice vid.

[saberblock]

Cool, that looks awesome still and seems really really quick. I remember getting this for the Atari ST after seeing it momentarily in Terminator 2 - the Atari port wasn't much cop - I should've just bought Missile Command instead! The ST version had terrible low quality voice samples and the music sounded like Dare to be Stupid by Weird Al...

[kapeesh67]

Awesome. afterburner complete on the 32x is good. u should check it out
