A decent Sega rail shooter in the After Burner line, with snappy aerial combat. Technically dated, but fun for a few arcade missions.

G-LOC - Air Battle (Mega Drive) price, value & rarity
Is G-LOC - Air Battle still worth playing in 2026?
An adaptation of Sega's aerial rail shooter, G-LOC puts the player in control of a fighter in first person to down enemy squadrons at full speed. The flying sensation, the target lock and the brisk pace recapture the cabinet's spirit, but the Mega Drive conversion clearly simplifies the rendering and fluidity. The intensity remains in short sessions. For a fan of retro rail shooters or someone curious about Sega's arcade catalogue, the title keeps a direct pleasure, below the original experience.
