Classic Game Room reviews AFTER BURNER 2 for Sega Saturn from 1996 from Sega. The Yu Suzuki arcade classic has appeared on numerous game consoles after the 1987 release with the awesome jet fighter arcade cabinet, is this one on Sega Saturn the best? Gameplay is slightly awkward because of touchy controls when using the Saturn gamepad but visuals and audio are stunning and arcade-quality. This CGR review of Afterburner 2 has gameplay from Afterburner II showing Sega Saturn game play of After Burner 2 from Sega.

After Burner II + the Saturn mission flight stick = Godly
I absolutely need the Mission Flight Stick!
I always loved the music in these games. I'm glad the recent PS3 and 360 versions let you play with the original soundtracks. =-)
In Europe, there was the SEGA Ages Vol. 1 collection. It's fairly affordable. The disc included After Burner II, Out Run, and Space Harrier. I guess SEGA knew they'd have a hard job selling them as stand alone games over here.
Fire Fire Fire, reminds me of that AVGN video with the head set accessory
Afterburner was my favorite arcade game as a kid. it was also one of the first games I ever played in my entire life.
Missiles can be dodged by moving from one corner of the screen to the other, just after the missiles are fired. It seems the missiles don't lock on its target, but rather on your position in the game screen. Such is the case with 90% of arcade shooters from that era. :-)
Dude. Why not donate to this guy? He's one of the best youtube reviewers.
After Burner II was part of the Sega Ages disc for the Saturn in North America. The disc also had OutRun and Space Harrier
Unbelievable that this still lookes so good
The game you are looking for, as far as an american copy of Afterburner II goes would be Sega Ages for the Saturn.
In Japan, several arcade classics were released for the Saturn, and when brought here, they combined Outrun, Space Harrier and After Burner II into one game and released it as the Sega Ages collection. It can be found in both the states and Europe, and cost about as much as buying one of these games from Japan.
'Unofficial' version? Is your Saturn Modded then Mark?
AfterBurner II can be found on USA Saturn release " Sega Ages" which gives you 3 games: Afterburner II, Outrun, Space Harrier. All arcade perfect ports.
The 32X version is nice because its on a cart which means no load times. Sound is clear on the 32X as well. Search eBay for Saturn Sega Ages and you will find USA prints starting at $40. Knowing you get 3 games makes the price easier to swallow.
I did Research about these ports when I got my Japanese copy of Outrun Arcade. They indeed are straight Arcade ports emulated on the Saturn, and official.
They were released in North America/Europe in a 'Sega Ages' pack, and individually in the 'Sega Ages' series in Japan. The Japanese versions (at least Outrun) included remixes of the original Music - which are badass. Also, in Outrun at least, theres a button combo you can press that unlocks 60fps gameplay.
I bought my Saturn for that alone.
This game is beautiful with the SEGA Saturn Mission Stick.
Bahahaha, Radiant Silvergun. Luckily, that's coming out on XBLA in 2011, much to the chagrin of collectors. I can't wait to see your review of THAT, specifically. Keep up the good work, Mark!
The reviewer points out the Saturn version is hard to control with the Saturn D-pad.
This is in part due to the game being designed for the 3D controller & the flight-stick. With either analog controller, the game plays great. After Burner on 32X only supports the standard digital controller of course so the Saturn gets points if you have a Saturn analog controller.
The Saturn version of Afterburner II should include support for analog control, but I can't remember if that means the 3D control pad, or only the analog control stick. In any case, it should be easier to fly with analog instead of the d-pad (which isn't that bad).
2 years ago i thought old games are shit, but now i have 4 retro consoles with lots of games, you and AVGN inspired me to collect, retro games rule, new games drule :)
This was indeed released in Europe, part of the sega ages pack with space harrier and outrun.
I would love to have this. Ever since I got the Tengen Afterburner for the NES and AB2 for the Genesis, I am becoming addicted to this game.
I wish there was an unlicensed SNES port that used Mode 7 graphics. If I ever learn how to homebrew stuff, I will try that.
This did get a U.S. release on the Sega Ages disc, and there is a Sega Saturn mission stick that you can use with this game.
i cant wait for this to come out on the 3DS, it's gonna look nuts, especially with that new 3DS with better 3D
I really like the 32X version of Afterburner II!
That's a great version of the game too. I have that version as well. It's as close as you're gonna get to an arcade perfect port on a cartridge.
Those bitmap graphics looks great! Much better than 3D from that era like Ace Combat.
Sounds like you need the Saturn Mission Stick, Mark.
Music at 03:00 kicks butt and makes a great ring tone!
The explosions are awesome
The only way you could get this in the USA was on the Sega Ages collection for the Saturn. You could buy it individually, but it would be import only. Other Sega classics got the same treatment, but they were only sold in Japan as well.
Can be found in Europe on the Sega ages compilation which is ace. Also very common!
2:50 That music is also heard in Bayonetta as an easter egg.
This was released in the US by Working Designs as part of Sega Ages. No need to buy bootleg copies. From what I've read, it has analog controller support.
This is the original Arcade-Version of After Burner II from 1987. It is 1:1 portet to the Saturn.
The easyest way to get this game ist to buy Shenmue II and go into Phoenix Building in Kowloon.
Ad-blocker, buddy... they work like a charm.
OMG I used to play the first one on my Gameboy Advanced when I was a kid xD
Hiya. This is available in europe as part of the Sega Ages Volume 1. pack. Controversially, there were no other Sega Ages packs released, but other games on this pack are Outun and Space Harrier. It'll cost about £8 on ebay, and its an essential Sega Saturn purchase in my humble opinion. Afterburner 2 is very very hard, but if you give it enough time the difficulty is perfect for an experienced player. I'm addicted
DAMN THAT IS A FINE LOOKING GAME
DEM GRAPHICS MAN
It was released both in Europe and the U.S on a disc called Sega Ages which includes After Burner II, Outrun and Space Harrier.
I have After Burner on NES. Which is pretty fun. Never could find the one on Saturn. I'll have to checkout EBAY.
Wow, i remember seeing the arcade machine when i was 7, i wanted to play it so badly
"unofficial version" lol, although it's good to see the Saturn can play cdr games without problems.
it received a North America release on the Sega Ages with 3 games on one disc you can find it as Sega Ages Sega Saturn on ebay.
If I remember correctly this game is compatible with the Saturn Mission Stick, you might want to give it a try with that and see if the controls are better.
@Swordmangoof Its actually saying 'fire', it happens every time the cross fire locks on to an enemy. This is the point the player shoots his homing missile.
As I remember this game was released in Europe for Sega Saturn bundled with Space Harrier and OutRun all in one disc but I'm not sure if they were arcade ports or sega mega drive ports.
The key to avoiding missiles is to constantly do barrel rolls.
this was released in euope or at least in the UK in a tripple pack, sega ages vol 1, Afterburner II, Outrun, Space Harrier II, i got mine for free :) Awesomeness! and yes i know this video is old!
after burner 2 did actually come to the us on the saturn by working designs it came on a disc with out run and space harrier.
@BillyCauseyjr
Working Designs published Sega Ages Volume 1 in the USA, comprising OutRun, Space Harrier, and After Burner 2 in one disc.
Everybody sreams THANKS JOSE!!!
fucking hell, that game looks awesome X) surprisingly, heck, old FPSes havent aged that well
Awesome music!
I liked this game on the Saturn.
Sega Ages release by Working Designs = After Burner II + Outrun + Space Harrier = $$$
This should be made available on GameRoom. I fact, SEGA shold make all their classic arcade games available on GameRoom.
HAHA, this game is AWESOME!!! I used to play it on Sega genesis! :D
I would play this with the Night Analogue stick. A lot better than the standard pad.
yes. i do remember that arcade machine.
OH SNAP HE TOTALLY BLEW UP!!!!! 1:58
This game looks good. I have only seen an arcade cab of this game once and that was back in early 2000's.The game is featured in Terminator 2 Judgment Day.The Genesis version of the game is too slow of game play. There is also an NES port of this game. I did not see a new After burner game for next gen consoles when searching online.
i only recignise it from terminator 2 including the big arcade machine chair thingy that spins around
Great!
why no use the Sega Mission Stick?
So he has a modded saturn? Interesting... Looks awesome, this also is on the 32X.
@Swordmangoof
Pie...Pie...it's an American Pie
:P
Adblock FTW!
Yeah, this looks just like the 32X version, released in America and is pretty easy to find... and they call it After Burner: Complete, but it's exactly like II.
Afterburner II is on Sega Ages for Sega Saturn, isn't it?
jose from Mexico. i think you just mentioned every other male in Mexico. but fun looking game really. i wouldn't mind having it. or one like it
Thanks for Reviewing this one!
I can play Jp games so Im going to be looking for this ;0)
@Swordmangoof
No it Fire! when you line up the box infront of the planes it saying you can fire a rocket at them to take them out.
John, there's this cop scopin' for ya!
I thought this version of Afterburner 2 was a direct port made by Sega. I mean, I think it's part of the Sega Ages Collection, therefore it should be an official version.
Afterburner is excellent, this version looks very impressive, and Afterburner Climax is great as well! Amazingly they've actually got the Afterburner Climax arcade machine in my area which is incredible because the arcade here is pathetic, not really an arcade at all. Why I had to write this? I don't know.
@GeneratorNJ if they didn't have us watch ads we would have to pay monthly for youtube
Sega Ages was brought to the US Saturn, thanks to Working Designs. The disc includes After Burner II, Outrun, and Space Harrier. It's nice to have several games at once, as the Japanese Sega Ages discs feature only a single game per disc.
It was released in europe as sega ages package i had it after butner 2 outrun and space harrier
5/5 Video rocked balls!!
I enjoyed the 32x version.
@funky3ddy I could've swore that's what they were saying when the missles are coming at him.
If you want to play 3 great arcade Sega conversions on the Saturn including After Burner 2, just get Sega Ages Vol. 1. I prefer the Japanese version of Sega Ages Vol. 1 because of how much cheaper it is then the American version on Amazon (although you'll need an Action Replay card to play it on an NTSC, or North American system.)
I bought the North American version, figures I didn't know there was a Japanese version of that compliation. I thought they just released those games individually in Japan.
Was the Afterburner II Arcade featured in Terminator 2?
pie is good. and this looks like a game that would be fun but give you motion sickness after awhile
@MrGish1 Lando, as in Lando Calrissian of Star Wars. Anything Lando is/was/does/slaps his meat n' veg for, can be considered "Lando". ie, a rogue for playing an unlicenced copy of After Burner 2 or a pimp for whoring out cloud city.
@RottenRroses Yes! John Connor playing it.
In the japanese versio of this game i think this game had a special gamepad. i dont know if it was released in the US. i think its called a 3D controller
hold on there is a new mexico?
All of the games you mentioned were also playable in Shenmue on the Dreamcast,except Hang-on,which was included in Shenmue 2.Where is SHENMUE 3 SEGA???
Damn... i got a flashpack when i reliesed that i have played this game when i was very little...
I played this on Sega CD.
Great version of the original.
Can you not play this game with the 3D Controller? =O
@Swordmangoof Because the guy on the radio was telling him that is pie is ready.
The only problem I have with the ads is when they rebuffer and take longer to load than they need to. >:\
Also: portable devices (example iphone) = no ads... until maybe later in the future cuz I just opened my big mouth. XDD
"unofficial version" ha I like it
does anyone know the name of the CGR signature tune ?? artist? it's a really uplifting song, i want to find it! :)
Unofficial version,huh?^^
actually outrun is not arcade perfect at all. It doesnt have the ferarri car, and the graphics are not the same, also the billboards are different. It also contains a few glitches not present in the sega saturn version (which is by far the best version). Also im pretty sure this version of afterburner is considered the best.
You should review Tiny Tank
Why does "rn" together in video titles in the default size with the default font on Firefoox look like an "m"?
@GeneratorNJ Download add block plus!!!!!
