Sky Target (スカイターゲット) is a Sega Model 2A CRX arcade game developed by Sega AM1, including many of the same developers as Wing War[15][16]. Ports of the game were made for the Sega Saturn and in Japan, Windows PCs.

History

Despite its name and shared development team with Wing War, it is considered part of the After Burner franchise[16], having the player pilot various jet planes across levels. The original Model 2 cabinet was only released in Japan.

Sky Target is the first in the series to be portrayed in full 3D. It is a much slower game than its predecessors, perhaps more comparable to Star Fox 64 for the Nintendo 64 or Panzer Dragoon as a result.

Sega Logistics Service announced it would end service on the arcade machines on March 31, 2017.[17][18]
