'''''After Burner II''''' is an [[Arcade video game|arcade]] [[combat flight simulator]] game released by [[Sega]] in October 1987.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=6822 |title =After Burner II |publisher =The International Arcade Museum |archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20200120152913/http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=6822 |access-date =1 Nov 2013 |archive-date =2020-01-20 }}</ref> It is the second game in the ''[[After Burner]]'' series, and was released for the [[Sega X Board]] arcade system. |

In the game, players fly an [[Grumman F-14 Tomcat|F-14 Tomcat]] jet fighter, gunning down enemies while avoiding incoming fire. ''After Burner II'' came both a standard [[arcade cabinet]] and a [[Servomechanism|servo]] actuated, sit-down [[motion simulator]] version which moved according to the motion of the plane onscreen. The cockpit would bank in the same direction the on-screen aircraft was banking. It is an updated version of ''After Burner'', with the addition of [[throttle]] controls. It was a commercial success, becoming Japan's highest-grossing [[1988 in video games|arcade game of 1988]]. |
|||
== Development == |
|||
Development of ''After Burner II'' commenced after ''[[Out Run]]'' was finished. The game was mostly created by three men, [[Yu Suzuki]], Satoshi Mifune, and Kawaguchi. During development, it was codenamed ''Studio 128'' to specify the secrecy of the project.<ref>{{Cite web|author=blackoak|url=http://shmuplations.com/afterburner/|title=shmuplations.com|website=shmuplations.com|access-date=2019-09-01}}</ref> |
|||
The primary influence of ''After Burner II'' was ''[[Top Gun]]'', although an art style in the vein of science fiction anime films like ''[[Laputa: Castle in the Sky]]'' was considered but scrapped due to team wanting to appeal to a western audience. |
|||
''After Burner II'' was considered to be a reissue of ''After Burner'', that included minor improvements such as a throttle that was absent in the original game. |

In Japan, ''After Burner II'' was tied with ''After Burner'' as the highest-grossing [[1988 in video games|arcade game of 1988]].<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Game Machine's Best Hit Games 25: '88 ''/ "Game of the Year '88" By Game Machine'' |magazine=[[:ja:ゲームマシン|Game Machine]] |issue=348 |publisher=[[:ja:アミューズメント通信社|Amusement Press, Inc.]] |date=15 January 1989 |pages=10-1, 26 |lang=ja |url=https://onitama.tv/gamemachine/pdf/19890115p.pdf#page=6}}</ref> |
|||
''[[Mega (magazine)|Mega]]'' placed the Mega Drive version at number 38 in their Top Mega Drive Games of All Time.<ref>Mega magazine issue 1, page 76, [[Future plc|Future Publishing]], Oct 1992</ref> ''MegaTech'' magazine praised the smooth and fast gameplay, as well as the sound. |
|||
==Legacy== |
|||
In Japan, ''After Burner II'' was released on the [[PlayStation 2]] as part of the ''[[Sega Ages]]'' classic series. |
|||
M2 ported ''After Burner II'' in Sega's [[3D Classics]] series to the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Nintendo eShop|eShop]] in Japan on 2013 and worldwide in 2015. This version is faithful to the original arcade game with additions, including Touch Controls and screen layouts that resemble the Upright as well as the Commander and Deluxe cabinets. An unlockable new Special mode was also added, which used a time-slowing "Burst" system similar to ''[[After Burner Climax]]'', and featured a different story and altered stages. This mode has no stage select or continues, and instead depends on frequent acquisition of extra lives over the course of the game in order to complete it.<ref>[http://archives.sega.jp/3d/ab2/index.html Sega 3D Classics After Burner II page (Japan)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150211111318/http://archives.sega.jp/3d/ab2/index.html |date=2015-02-11 }}</ref> |
