Developer: CRI
Genre: Shoot-'em-Up

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 and cinematic sequences. As it says six button pad on the title screen, you need a 6-button Mega Drive Control Pad to play the game to full capacity.

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.
