The premise, in the publisher's words
North American Commodore 64 port of After Burner II. Two versions exist for the Commodore 64, built by entirely different teams for different markets. The earlier North American version is played in full screen and is arguably the more accurate of the two, but runs slower, has a very limited HUD and has no in-game music. The European version, by contrast, is faster and has music, but plays in a window. There are also colour clashing issues when enemy planes are drawn above the ground, and the level order is different.
How it plays
It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are action. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
