Play After Burner II Online
Dodge missiles, blast jets, and barrel-roll through clouds—this one nails that arcade dogfighting rush where everything’s moving too fast and you’re just barely keeping up.
After Burner II on the Genesis is basically the arcade jet fighter experience crammed into your living room—just with slightly fewer G-forces. You’re still blasting through clouds, dodging missiles, and unloading an absurd number of rockets at anything that moves. The big upgrade here? You can finally tweak your speed manually, which helps when you’re trying to line up a shot or dodge a swarm of enemy fighters.
It’s weirdly satisfying how chaotic it feels—one second you’re weaving between mountains, the next you’re barrel-rolling to avoid a lock-on. The soundtrack’s got that classic Sega punch too, though don’t expect anything revolutionary if you’ve played the original. Mostly, it’s just more: more levels, more enemies, more missiles to waste. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a Top Gun pilot with slightly pixelated explosions, this’ll do the trick.
Fun fact: Most home ports are actually based on this version, not the first After Burner. The NES and Amiga got their own weird spin-offs, but this is the one that nails the arcade vibe.
