'''''After Burner''''' (アフターバーナー) is an arcade game designed by [[Yu Suzuki]] and developed by [[Sega AM2]] in 1987. The player pilots a F-14 Tomcat jet through 18 levels, destroying enemies with machine gun fire and a limited supply of missiles.

Like ''[[OutRun]]'' and ''[[Hang-On]]'', the game was revolutionary at the time of its release due to its cabinet design. Though standard upright cabinets were available, the sit-down version its notable for a horizontally rotating seat and a vertically rotating cockpit, controlled (like the game) by the integrated flight stick. It was, however, a Japanese only arcade game, and while there were numerous home ports of the game, the western world would have to wait until its sequel, ''[[After Burner II]]'' was released. Luckily ''After Burner II'' is extremely similar in design, so much so that people often consider it to be a more "complete" version of ''After Burner''.
==Sequels and Rereleases==
''After Burner'' was ported to numerous home consoles and computers, inlcuding the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS, FM Towns, MSX, PC Engine, [[Sega Master System]], Sharp X68000 and ZX Spectrum. It was also ported to the [[Sega 32X]] by [[Rutubo Games]] and went under the name of ''After Burner Complete'' in Japan and Europe. It was also ported illegally to the Nintendo Entertainment System by Tengen.
