Description

This is a chase view jet shoot 'em up where the player controls an F-14 and the goal is to destroy enemy jets while not being hit
by enemy missiles. This is the finished version that was released after
After Burner, the prototype version, was beefed up and
improved. The player has a vulcan gun and missiles that he can shoot at the enemy planes. There are aircraft carriers that the
player lands on to replenish missiles once they are depleted. This game uses a throttle to control the jet & fire the weapons &
also has digitized speech. It has 4 more levels than the experimental After Burner.
