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. Unlike After
Burner II, this is a rare
title that was most likely only released in Japan. After Burner
is the
experimental version of what became After Burner II. It has no
throttle control, no digitized speech, the rom is half the size
of
After Burner II, and features less graphics and different levels.
Both games have a 1987 copyright year. It was most likely
released only to meet some deadline. This game has 19 levels
while After Burner II has 23 (4 less than the released version).
