After Burner adapts the Sega pseudo 3D arcade shoot to NES with its F-14 fighter facing enemy squadrons. The 8 bit conversion considerably loses visual effects but keeps the concept in a hardware limited formula. A curiosity for 8 bit pseudo 3D shoot fans, without reaching superior console versions.
