After Burner

[Pete]

Afterburner was another game that I enjoyed playing on my Nintendo NES. It’s amazing how the graphics were so primitive compared to todays standard but yet for me they’re a lot more fun to play. Must be a generation thing.

I played this game many times in my life and I’ve beaten it about 3/4‘s of the time. After Burner is an intense game that requires quick reflexes and attention.

The game allows the player to control an F-14 Tomcat jet airplane. At the start of the game, the player takes off from an aircraft carrier called the SEGA Enterprise on a mission to destroy enemy jets over 18 stages.

In the arcade version, the jet employs a machine gun and a limited number of heat-seeking missiles (in the Master System version the player has unlimited missiles). These weapons are replenished by another aircraft, after beating a few stages. The aircraft, cannon and missile buttons are all controlled from an integrated flight stick.

You must be real good because defeating all 18 stages of afterburner is pretty difficult. I completed all the stages twice and I played afterburner a lot in my teens.

I was pretty good at Street Fighter. I spent a lot of quarters and time playing against others and I won a lot of the matches. Anyways we could talk about that video game in this thread.
