The video game After Burner II is a arcade-style flight simulator released by Sega in 1987. In the game, you fly a F-14 Tomcat jet fighter, gunning down enemies while avoiding incoming fire. Like Out Run, another Sega arcade game, After Burner came in several versions, the most famous being a large, hydraulic, sit-down cabinet which resembled a cockpit and moved according to the motion of the plane onscreen. There was also a much less thrilling upright version.
After Burner had numerous home console releases, including versions for the Sega Master System, Sega Genesis/Sega Megadrive, Sega 32X, NES, FM Towns Marty, Amiga, and Sega Saturn.
In Shenmue 2, the arcade version is a playable unlock.
