Sky Target (スカイターゲット) is a Sega Model 2A CRX arcade game developed by Sega AM1 . Ports of the game were made for the Sega Saturn and in Japan, Windows PCs.
History
Despite its name it is considered part of the After Burner franchise , 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.
