That looks pretty nice man. Kinda looks like parts of Tiger and After Burner mixed in. Great music to it

[narox]

I am still amazed that this game came ou t in 1987. :)

This is a pretty unique arcade game...I like how it switches from 2-D to 3-D and it as some really great music in it too.

[narox]

Music is a big factor. It plays a role in me liking the game.

[jboypacman]

Agreed and its funny we had just talked about the very same thing in the podcast i do with my buddy Dalum.

Music is every bit as important as gameplay and graphics and i think people forget how much effort goes into making video game music.

[narox]

What's the link to your podcast?

[Retrosofer]

nice, this looks great.

[narox]

Looks quite good for a 1987 game. :)

[AdyShearer]

hmm , the 3d part reminds me of Swat Kats for the snes.

[narox]

Interesting. )

[narox]

You got that right. I don't know any bad game from Konami. :)

[GamerBoyGU82]

@Narox

and they always have the best music!

[narox]

Yeah Konami's music is the best. I you haven't already noticed, I love video games music. That's they play an important role in my videos. :)

[GamerBoyGU82]

it definitely shows! I too have a love for video game music!

I've never heard of Ajax before but it looks pretty fun and I like how it has both 2d and 3d sections which adds some variety. Thanks for showing some footage of the game Narox.

[narox]

Hi Tjeerd, can you believe this game came out in 1987. I mean the graphics looks three years ahead of its time. :)

[merlin196]

Yes it's definitely hard to believe this is a 1987 game. Very impressive and detailed graphics.
