After Burner II (アフターバーナーII) is an update for After Burner , developed by Studio 128 in 1987. This version adds three new stages, allows the player to change the fighter's speed during flight, and makes other gameplay and sound changes.
Players will take control of F-14XX Skycat, another fictional variant of Navy Fighter F-14 Tomcat. Strangely, overseas version of the game uses the picture of an F-15, an air force fighter.
History
Legacy
The original After Burner was only ported to the Sega Master System , all other versions, despite what their box arts may say, are actually ports of After Burner II . This includes the NES and X68000 versions, as well as the PC Engine and Sega Mega Drive ports, which are clearly labeled "After Burner II ". With the exception of the NES version, all of these ports have After Burner II depicted on their title screens.
Tengen took Sunsoft 's port of After Burner II to the Famicom and heavily modified it into an unlicensed After Burner for the NES (there are still some remnants of the old version, such as the sound test ).
After Burner II also saw release as part of the Sega Ages: Volume 1 compilation on the Sega Saturn , and is playable within Shenmue II .
