A series of arcade Flight Simulation Games by Sega's AM2 division.The games put you into the cockpit of an F-14 Tomcat (or one of two other possible planes in later games). You fly down at high speed destroying waves of enemies with your guns and missiles.The arcade games are well known for their cabinets. Earlier games in the series can come in standard upright cabinets, but can also come in sit-down motion cabinets in which the seat moves around to correspond to your ship's motions. In the late 80's and early 90's, After Burner cabinets were quite the eye candy.The series spans six games: After Burner (Arcade, 1987) The original game, released only in Japan. invoked After Burner II (Arcade, 1987) More of an Updated Re-release than a sequel, After Burner II introduces throttle control for faster gameplay, improved weapon firing, new stages, and revamped music. First AB game to be released outside of Japan. A Nintendo 3DS port with 3D functionality, 3D After Burner II, was released in Japan in December 2013, and in North America in January 2015. After Burner III (Sega CD, 1992) A port of the Japan-only arcade title Strike Fighter, a sequel to arcade title G-LOC, which was itself basically a first-person After Burner. The Sega CD port allowed for a more traditional at-all-times third-person view, if desired; G-LOC and Strike Fighter only switched to third-person if an enemy was on your tail. After Burner: Complete (32X, 1995) A port of After Burner II for the ill-fated 32X. After Burner Climax (Arcade, 2006) Runs on the Sega Lindbergh hardware. It offers brand new graphics, a "Climax Mode" that lets you slow down time to lock on to many enemies at once, two new fighters to choose from, and special "Emergency Order" missions. Later ported in 2010 to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, and de-listed in 2014. It was also released on iOS and Android in 2013. Originally a paid app, it became free in 2019. After Burner: Black Falcon (PlayStation Portable, 2007) The Spin-Off, which tells a story about a group of Western Terrorists called "Black Falcon", comprised of ex-military staff, had gone rogue and stole prototype airplanes. Developed by Planet Moon Studios (of Armed and Dangerous and Giants: Citizen Kabuto fame), it was not released in Japan. invokedRelated games include: G-LOC: Air Battle (Arcade, 1990) It is slower paced than After Burner and puts more emphasis on destroying enemies than high-speed maneuvers. A remixed version of this game was released for the R-360 cabinet, a motion cabinet capable of rolling upside-down. Sega went mostly silent on G-LOC until 2020 when it received a SEGA AGES port on Nintendo Switch, which includes new features like the AGES Arrange Mode. Strike Fighter (Arcade, 1991) Essentially an Updated Re-release of G-LOC, with much faster gameplay, removal of time limits, and missions more akin to its parent series. The Sega CD port became a Dolled-Up Installment of After Burner, see above. Sky Target (Arcade, 1995) Runs on the Sega Model 2 hardware. Has similar gameplay to the original After Burner, now in 3D with branching stages and boss fights. Flight is simplified with the removal of throttles and barrel rolls. Sega Strike Fighter (Arcade, 2000) Runs on the Sega NAOMI hardware. Gameplay is closer to G-LOC, where the player has to destroy certain amount of enemies within a time limit while in first person. Flight is slower and more realistic, akin to Ace Combat. The major attraction is the usage of three monitors for greater immersion, with one each for your front, left, and right. | |

Where It All Began | |
| After Burner (Video Game) / int_15756c9d | comment |
Where It All Began: The final stages of II and Climax are set over the ocean to the tune of "Final Takeoff" (the first stage BGM of II). Heck, in Climax, the first and final stages are both called "Boundless Ocean". | |

Multiple Endings | |
| After Burner (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Climax has three endings. All of them are good, to varying degrees. Ending C* Fail to unlock the last two stages: The terrorist group Z surrenders, but you are informed that your allies will keep watch on them in case they try to set up a counterattack. Ending B* Unlock the last two stages, but fail to destroy the warheads in the final stage: The aircraft carrier you took off from fires at the warheads to finish them off, and sustains minor damage. Other than that, Z surrenders unconditionally and you and your squadmates celebrate your victory. Ending A* Unlock the last two tages and destroy the warheads: Same as Ending B, minus the "carrier gets hit" part. | |

The Rival | |
| After Burner (Video Game) / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: The 3DS version of II has a special mode that replaces certain levels with a dogfight against a single skilled enemy fighter. At first, you think it's your kidnapped buddy Tom, but at the end his identity isn't revealed since Tom is rescued at the end. | |

Foregone Victory | |
| After Burner (Video Game) / int_3460db2 | comment |
Foregone Victory: In Climax's last stage, if you don't destroy the missiles in time, the mission is still counted as complete, because your carrier shoots the missiles and only sustains light damage. However, you don't get the best ending. | |

No Fair Cheating: Averted in the console ports of Climax with the EX Options. You can give yourself unlimited missiles and health, have your Climax gauge always maxed out, have a giant aiming reticule, and disable enemy fire, and STILL rank in on your Arcade Mode leaderboard. And there is no way to differentiate between scores obtained legitimately and scores obtained with options that make the game easier. | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist | |
| After Burner (Video Game) / int_50727f8d | comment |
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: For the most part, dying and continuing do not affect your score. However, in arcades, this eats money. And in Climax, this breaks your combo and resets your stars, which are needed to access secret missions. | |

Nintendo Hard: Good lord, you practically need to be acting like you have a seizure to dodge virtually any of the missiles. In II, a first-timer can expect to use all three starting lives by the end of stage 2, or 3 (out of 18 stages total) if they're lucky. | |

Pinball Scoring | |
| After Burner (Video Game) / int_65cbb040 | comment |
Pinball Scoring: In After Burner II, you can get thousands of points per second just from flying, depending on your speed. Each enemy kill is worth 20,000 points at the end of a stage. Additionally, there are two codes, one which adds 50 million points and one that adds 250 million. | |

Excuse Plot: Some console versions of After Burner II apparently has you rescuing a Damsel in Distress; it's only mentioned in text at two refuel stops and the ending. Climax has you take on a terrorist organization attempting to go nuclear. | |

Challenge Run: A handful of the EX Options in Climax bring up red text when selected, and their description always begins with "Caution". Among these include turning you back into a One-Hit-Point Wonder and removing your missile recovery, restricting your missile spams to Climax Mode. | |

Macross Missile Massacre | |
| After Burner (Video Game) / int_8b93a168 | comment |
Macross Missile Massacre: Considering the main method of attacking is missiles, inevitable. Climax's...erm..."Climax" mode causes you to go into Bullet Time while chain-firing missiles. The twelfth stage, Sleepless Sanctuary, deploys a ton of these with much gusto. Be prepared to dodge a whole hell of a lot, and expect to see your ship go down a couple of times if you're not prepared for it. | |

One-Hit-Point Wonder: One hit in After Burner or After Burner II and you lose a life. In Climax, the "Armor: 1%" option reduces your armor to 1%, so even the tiniest gunfire or wall scrape = *PEWWWWWWWWWW* "JAGUAR LEADER'S HIT!" *BOOM* | |

Shout-Out: When landing to refuel you land on a runway that looks suspiciously like a road. When you take off again, the chase car is a red Ferrari Testarossa convertible with a hot blonde in the passenger seatnote The Sega Master System version at least features a a red motorcycle instead. Also, in Climax, at the end, a pilot that looks suspiciously similar to Maverick from Top Gun is revealed to be the main character. Also the game After Burner Climax makes mention of a GHOST Squad. | |

Anti-Frustration Features: a good half of the EX Options of the Console version of Climax fall under this, running the gamut from additional lives to invulnerability to enemy fire. With enough of them activated, you can even literally sit back and do nothing as the game shoots down all the enemies for you during the first two stages. | |
