After Burner III
System(s): Sega Mega CD, FM Towns
Publisher: Sega, CRI (Japan)
Developer: CRI
Genre: Shoot-'em-Up
Release Date RRP Code

After Burner III (アフターバーナーIII) is an aircraft combat game developed by Sega for the Sega Mega CD and FM Towns. It is an enhanced port of Strike Fighter, which only saw release in Japanese arcades, offering a CD audio soundtrack (with the addition of music from After Burner II) and cinematic sequences.

As Strike Fighter was actually a sequel to G-LOC: Air Battle, it does not have a third person perspective view like After Burner and After Burner II. After Burner III adds this view as an option.
