What After Burner is

After Burner is a shooter game developed by Sega Enterprises, Ltd. and released in 1989. It was published by CSK Research Institute. It is available on FM Towns only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Muster up all the skill, reflexes and guts you've got. Because inside your F-14 Thunder Cat, you're going to need all that - and more. Blast laser-directed, anti-aircraft fire at enemy planes. Dodge heat-seeking missiles with fancy flywork, like dips, turns and barrel rolls. Come head to head with the infamous Flying Fortresses (the toughest of all enemies) and dogfight your way through, to a nanosecond of safety. And if you make it far enough, a fuel tanker will be waiting for you. Dock successfully and you'll replenish valuable energy and ammunition. Despite its title, this game is actually a port of After Burner II.
