Description

Afterburner, the arcade game that thrilled young and old alike when it was released. With a hydralic seat and its flight control stick with a Vulcan cannon and missiles at your command.
This was a decent conversion of Sega's arcade hit ported to the PC. The game is viewed from behind the plane with you fighting wave after wave of enemy fighters.

Trivia

The ZX Spectrum version of the game has the plane firing its cannon constantly throughout and cannot be switched off. This is due to the fire button being used to fire the missiles.
