Sega Genesis - After Burner II [cartridge)

[archoneddzs15]

Sega Saturn - SEGA AGES Volume 4 After Burner II

Title: SEGA AGES Volume 4 After Burner II / SEGA AGES アフターバーナーII

Developer/Publisher: Sega AM2 / Rutubo Games / Sega CS1

Release date: 27 September 1996

Catalogue No.: GS-9109

Genre: Dog Fight Sim / Shooting

If you've never played Afterburner II, then you have never lived the life of a real gamer (^v^) Afterburner II was the first ever flight shooting game to get the adrenalin pumping. I remember playing the full-sized hydraulic arcade five years ago and still finding it a rush over so many years after its original release. The Sega Saturn version offers all that the arcade does minus the hydraulics. Don't worry though, it's still an awesome game. In fact, I'd say that the Saturn version is better than the Dreamcast version that can be found on Shenmue 1 and 2 and also on Yuu Suzuki's Game Works. I don't know why but the game just feels better on the Saturn. Both versions are very close to being arcade-perfect, but the Saturn version wins in my book. Maybe it's because it suits the Saturn more? The only downside to the Saturn Afterburner II I can find is that it's not possible to continue. Lose all your lives, and it's game over. I'm sure there's a cheat to allow continuing though.

Worst Video Game Song Tournament - Round 1 Match 64

Maximum Power - After Burner (Amiga)

VERSUS

Imp's Song - DOOM

FIGHT!

I would recommend listening to as much as you can of each song before voting, but how you choose is up to you! Remember to be civil in the tags and replies!

Propaganda under cut:

Maximum Power:

"this one is a popular choice for trolling each other in the RadioSEGA requests. I've heard something about the track being corrupted somehow in the port to Amiga? well, whether it was on purpose or not, this is how it sounds in the shipped game. unfortunately it has started to grow on me since I like weird experimental music"

Imp's Song:

"'This sounds like a smoke detector going off while a car sits outside with its bass turned up too high.' - Dan Ryckert, Game Informer. Listen from 1:12 for the jackhammer starting."

Feel free to add more propaganda in the tags and replies, or send it to me in the ask box and I'll try to share it as soon as I can!

Back in June 2017, SEGA announced its SEGA Forever initiative to bring its classic games to iOS and Android as free to start games with a no ads IAP. Each game was to be adapted for mobile while remaining faithful to the originals. We saw the service launch with five games with more coming every few weeks. As recently as this week, select SEGA Forever games have been delisted on iOS and Android. Shaun has most of them installed and spotted some of them getting updates recently with new notifications in-game alerting users that the support for the specific game has ended, with a link to find more info on other platforms to play it on. Currently, that link opens SEGA’s home page. Check out the warning screenshot from Shaun below:

SEGA Forever games launched with cloud saves, controller support, and more. Shaun’s covered many of them over the years, but it seems like the program is currently on hold or over. SEGA is yet to announce anything, but if we do get any official news around it, we will post about it. If you missed the original launch, watch the unlisted trailer for it below:

As of now, it is unclear when many of these were delisted, but some were done as recently as this week. The delisted games are: Comix Zone, Altered Beast, Phantasy Star Classics, Revenge of Shinobi, Vectorman, Decap Attack, Eswat, Ristar, Space Harrier 2, Beyond Oasis, Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy, and After Burner Climax. There are still some games available to play and buy if you didn’t own them before, but the ones above have been delisted. It is unclear if they will return. Check out the official SEGA Forever website here. Did you play any of the delisted games before and what would you like to see SEGA bring to the his program if they are continuing it?

Hey Doug Walker, what game series should be ported over to different consoles like the Nintendo Switch along with a sequel that is stuck on PS3/Xbox 360/Arcade/IOS/Android and another one on PSP?
