'''After Burner II''' is a Z-axis [[shooter]] follow up to Sega's [[After Burner]]. It is less of a sequel and more of an update to the original game, and was released in [[1987]], the same year as the original. The game would see multiple conversions to various Sega and non-Sega home consoles, although many of these conversions struggle to match the speed of the arcade version. The 1996 [[Sega Saturn]] conversion is one of the few to be considered "Arcade perfect", as it operated on the same code. The [[32X]] version, which is almost as close, is called '''After Burner Complete'''. | |||
The arcade version of After Burner II was available in a stand-up model as well as a deluxe sit down cabinet modeled like a fighter jet cockpit. The cockpit was built on hydraulics, which simulated flight by moving the player roughly 25 degrees in both a horizontal and vertical axis, in a rough representation of the fighter's in-game movement. Stereo speakers were placed at the ear level for the deluxe cabinet version, creating a very immersive (and sometimes deafening) play experience. The arcade controls consisted of a flight stick with multiple buttons and a throttle stick which could be used to slow down the aircraft or activate it's afterburners. The addition of the throttle was the most notable change from the original After Burner. | |||

There 23 stages in the game: Stages 5, 13 and 23 are non-playable landing cutscenes and levels 8 and 17 are canyon bombing runs. The remaining stages involve air to air combat using an unlimited cannon, and a limited supply of missiles. The missile supply is restored approximately every 2-3 levels in a non-playable air-to-air refueling sequence, as well as in the first two landing cutscenes. Cameos from the vehicles in Hang-On, and Out Run, make appearances during the first two landing cutscenes, driving down the runway in front of the F-14 as it is taking off. | There 23 stages in the game: Stages 5, 13 and 23 are non-playable landing cutscenes and levels 8 and 17 are canyon bombing runs.
