After Burner II is a Z-axis shoot ’em up with a F-14 Tomcat fighter jet and the sequel to Sega’s After Burner. Using Sega’s revolutionary sprite-scaling technology, the After Burner games would increase the velocity of the player’s craft to almost dizzying levels as they attempted to avoid missiles and other airborne threats in intense air missions.
Best known for its Arcade version, which could be played in a specially-designed sit-down cabinet shaped like the jet’s cockpit, the game would also see multiple home versions for various Sega and non-Sega systems. Many of these home versions struggle to match the speed of the original Arcade After Burner II: a common issue with Sega’s sprite-scaling Arcade games. The 1996 Sega Saturn conversion is one of the few to be considered “Arcade perfect”, as it operated on the same code.
