Play After Burner Online

Game Overview

After Burner on the NES is that classic arcade jet fighter experience squeezed into an 8-bit cartridge. You're blasting off in an F-14, weaving through canyons, dodging missiles, and trying not to crash into the ocean when you pull up too late. The scaling effects were mind-blowing for the time—mountains rushing at you, enemy fighters zipping past. It's simpler than the arcade version, sure, but there's something satisfying about the chunky pixel explosions and that relentless soundtrack pushing you forward. Just don't expect to land the plane—this game ends when you run out of lives or patience.
