After Burner on the Sega Master System is one of those arcade ports that somehow feels faster than it has any right to be. You're basically strapped into a fighter jet blasting through waves of enemy planes, and the screen scrolls so fast it’s almost hard to keep up—in a good way. The controls are simple (shoot, dodge, repeat), but the real magic is how it nails that "high-speed dogfight" vibe despite the hardware limits.

It’s missing some of the arcade cabinet’s wild hydraulic motion, obviously, but the core thrill is still there: barrel rolls, missile locks, and that iconic SEGA blue-sky aesthetic. Just don’t expect to last long—this is pure ’80s arcade chaos, where survival is measured in minutes, not hours.
