MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! AHHHHH! Ok, i admit, i never finished After Burner without using tricks. It is an awesome game, and the music is so addictive, but is a quite tough game.

I rented the cartridge the first time i played After Burner. I thought: "Wow, Arcade at home!". Well, lets say it was a bit frustrating playing the first times. I think that SEGA could do a better version, the Master System hardware could give more to this game.

So, back on track. This game is good, not great, but good. The sad thing i remember is that my little brother stayed in home while i had to go to school, and so, he could practice a lot of times and he had finished the game. Man, i was so angry. Why? Because the money used to rent the game was mine. I used to maintain all coins i gathered in a bottle so i could buy a G.I. Joe doll, and was my brother who insisted in renting this game. The game is good, but brings me back some sad memories.

Since this was a pretty cheap game, I bought this game when taking a trip to a mall, as we often did when visiting my grandmother. And I had heard so many good things about it - so many of my friends were talking about After Burner. I can't understand why. No matter how much I tried, I was never able to feel that I was in total control of the plane and being able to avoid the things flying towards me. The problem is, I think, that the 3D view isn't as good as it should be. It's impossible to tell most of the time wheter or not the missiles (or whatever they are) will go over me, under me, or straight towards me and make me crash. Of course, we have the "stay left"- trick, which almost lets you finish the game. Which is pretty stupid, anyway. Maybe it's because I'm not a fan of flight simulation games that I don't like this game, but maybe it's also because it's absolutely impossible to control without getting hit. The music is okay, though...
