Classic Game Room HD reviews AFTER BURNER II for Sega Genesis / Mega Drive!

Released in 1990 this is one of the best games on the Sega Genesis and created by master game designer Yu Suzuki, who previously designed Out Run and Hang On!

This CGRHD review of After Burner II has gameplay footage recorded from After Burner 2 showing Afterburner 2 game play of the F-14 fighter jet blowing away waves of enemy jets and helicopters (even though the Afterburner II game cartridge shows an F-15 Eagle instead of an F-14 Tomcat.)

Do you like Top Gun on the NES? This game puts it to shame. Yu Suzuki's arcade masterpiece from 1987 makes an explosive appearance on the Genesis with smooth, colorful gameplay and excellent controls. The music is some of the best music ever heard on the Genesis and this entire cartridge of awesomeness can be had for a few bucks today providing years of enjoyment. If you like arcade style flight combat games then you will LOVE After Burner II from Sega for the Genesis and Megadrive.

Classic Game Room HD reviews Sega arcade games on Genesis like Afterburner 2 because CGRHD is a Sega Genesis reviewer reviewing classics and old school games on the Megadrive.
