Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol.10 - After Burner 2 Japan

In 1987, a year after the movie Top Gun stoked audiences everywhere, Yu Suzuki developed the original Afterburner game for Sega. Controlled by a relatively massive analog joystick in the coin-op cab, virtual pilots shot, locked-on, rocked, and rolled through thrilling levels and faced squadrons of enemy ships hellbent on relieving quarter droppers of all their coin. Afterburner was released in an upright arcade cabinet as well as an enclosed sit-in cab where hydraulics pumped the cab up and down like a carnival ride.
