Sega Mega Drive - After Burner II
Title: After Burner II / アフターバーナーII
Developer/Publisher: Dempa Micomsoft
Release date: 23 March 1990
Catalogue No.: T-17013
Genre: Shooting
Surely the Mega Drive was powerful enough to produce a better port than this by 1990 but it's not a bad game overall and still plays like it should. Heck, the Famicom and PC Engine Hucard versions are impressive by comparison. The runway landing refill stations are missing in this version of the game; however, they were in the Spectrum version. Quite odd. At least the music has been well done in this version. Still, it was definitely the most powerful version of After Burner II to be released outside of Japan until the Sega 32X version titled After Burner Complete arrived. I say outside of Japan because there were also FM Towns and Sharp X68000 versions, with the FM Towns boasting its awesome arranged CD soundtrack. The Sega Saturn version would then trounce all these other versions until the Dreamcast version and later ports to modern consoles. This version of After Burner II was released as a showpiece for the XE-1 AP controller, which explains why Dempa made this conversion. Dempa are the same ones behind many awesome Sharp X68000 arcade conversions, and I believe the PC Engine Hucard version of Space Harrier was programmed by them.

Game review: After Burner II (FC/NES)
Title: After Burner II
Japanese Title: アフターバーナーII
Release Date: 30 March 1989
Platform: Famicom / Nintendo Entertainment System

Publisher: Sunsoft
Licensor: Sega
Genre: Combat Flight Simulation

——————————————————————————
"No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, this is indeed a Sega game on the NES."
Here we have After Burner for the Famicom.
A flight sim that started life in the arcades by Sega.
What's most surprising is that it got ported to the NES, albeit by different companies. The most familiar name would be Tengen, but because this is the Japanese Famicom version, it is Sunsoft.
Was it ported well?
Yeah well, I suppose it was alright. The game runs pretty smoothly until you try to turn, and you can really feel the game jerk around.
Sound is a bit iffy, though it does have the sampled (though extremely compressed) speech from the arcade. Controls are actually quite responsive
Compared to Tengen's effort though, the sound and graphics are better in this version, although it is choppy in the animation department. At least it plays like After Burner.
PROS:
The arcade feeling is present
The music is great for a NES game
Responsive controls.
CONS:
It's quite difficult to see what is ahead due to the sprite flicker
Plane movement is restricted
Choppy animation
It doesn't feel as good as the competing first party Sega Master System version, let alone the PC Engine version by NEC Avenue
Verdict:
After Burner II on the NES is quite an interesting release. Graphically, Sunsoft have done a decent job. As far as playability, though, it's actually a non-starter as you just can't see what's coming ahead and ...
Unfortunately, After Burner II on the NES gets a score of....
3/10.
Sunsoft could've done better here.

English
So that I don't lose love, I'm gonna take your hands
Because you're the person I want the most in the world!
Go! (Light Fire!)
Go! (Light Fire!)
Go! (Light Fire!)
One more time
Go! (Light Fire!)
Go! (Light Fire!)
Go! (Light Fire!)
Many many times
I accept your challenge, the borderline the summer you has crossed
A dirty dissatisfaction was scattered on the rail
You're causing chaos as you're allowed to, right? Your fingertips searched for a bright shining sunrise
An automation error was absorbed by the sky
What exactly is serving as a base for us?
Come, if you've put the target in the center without hesitating,
Then hit ceaselessly!
"You can't escape"
"You can't escape"
"Prepare yourself..."
Drenched in sweat, I'll give you an afterburner!
If we collide with each other completely, we'll shine to the inside of our bullets★
Go without a breathing spell, afterburner!
This can't be measured by common means, climax with sinful words★
So that I don't lose love, I'm gonna take your hands
Because you're the person I want the most in the world!
Go! (Light Fire!)
Go! (Light Fire!)
Go! (Light Fire!)
One more time
Go! (Light Fire!)
Go! (Light Fire!)
Go! (Light Fire!)
Many many times
On your burnt skin, the loose me bewitched you with my terms of sale
A pride full of desire lined up in the jail
Even if you decide your "liking" once and for all,
Will your feet collapse and will you turn around in circles?
The rainbow created an U formation
Now is the time to unleash chaos!
Even better, engage it!
If you don't mind the visor and give it to me, I'll kiss you!
"It's okay to make"
"Eye contact, right?"
"Lock on..."
I'll give it to you rising, an afterburner!
If you go until the end, beyond the dreams there's heaven★
An afterburner that'll stop all your thoughts!
You should just abandon all conditions, your flames will burst open, joymax★
So that I don't lose love, I'm gonna take your hands
Because you're the person I want the most in the world!
You're so good, you know? If you're confused, "put that aside"
Push on!
"I want you"
"More and more"
"I won't let you sleep..."
Drenched in sweat, I'll give you an afterburner!
If we collide with each other completely, we'll shine to the inside of our bullets★
Go without a breathing spell, afterburner!
This can't be measured by common means, climax with sinful words★
So that I don't lose love, I'm gonna take your hands
Because you're the person I want the most in the world!
Go! (Light Fire!)
Go! (Light Fire!)
Go! (Light Fire!)
One more time
Go! (Light Fire!)
Go! (Light Fire!)
Go! (Light Fire!)
Many many times
