About This Retro Game
After Burner II refined the original's formula with enhanced scaling effects, more detailed sprite work, and an even more intense soundtrack that matched the high-speed action.
The deluxe arcade cabinet featured hydraulic motion systems that tilted and rotated with the on-screen action, creating unprecedented immersion in 1987.
Notable for pioneering 'tape loading' technology that streamed data from magnetic tape to enable massive sprite scaling without slowdowns.
