Afterburner II Arcade Highest Difficulty - Part One

Well, I didn't actually MEAN to go through on the highest difficulty, but despite having to continue a bunch of times, I feel I did pretty good, especially since I haven't played in a while. It's an absurdly difficult game to begin with, but playing it in the big moving deluxe cabinet back in the day and getting emersed in faux surround sound and flashing lockon lights, it was worth spending the coinage just to experience that. Too bad it's just not popular anymore.

Part one of two.

Recorded using FRAPS and played using MAME64 and the Ace-Edge joystick ( http://images.google.ca/images?q=hori%20ace-edge ).

What do you mean it's not popular!?

When Afterburner: Climax came out i bet millions of people shit their pants in awe. XD

And, yes, the game has a "Climax-o-meter" that fills with kills. Climax for Infinite missiles XDD

Well, Climax never made it to the arcades around here, much to my chagrin. The 360/PSN port is going to be my first chance to actually play it, and from what I gather, not many outside the usual group of Sega fans are really drooling over it. This kinda game, for whatever reason, just doesn't get much love these days.

There's just to much to post on these arcade classics. Especially, the ones from SEGA. I think it's safe to say since the arcades are in demise that history will remember SEGA as the premier arcade developer ever!

I remember always asking employees at local computer stores why there wasn't a game system or computer that could reproduce the graphics of this arcade hit. NO 1could give me an answer. I later found out it was bc Sega's arcade hardware was 6-10 years ahead of consumer hardware.
