Arcade Games: After Burner Climax (アフターバーナー クライマックス, After Burner Climax?) is the sequel to the popular arcade and console After Burner games.
It was developed for the Sega Lindbergh arcade system board, and has recently been released to arcades.
Unlike previous versions of After Burner, After Burner Climax introduces two new aircraft, the F/A-18E Super Hornet and F-15E Strike Eagle, while the F-14 Tomcat is now the F-14D Super Tomcat. All aircraft are selectable at the start screen.
Like previous incarnations of After Burner, the "Deluxe" After Burner Climax cabinet has a servo-equipped chair; a new function is a button that locks the chair into a static upright position. Two other cabinet versions include a "Commander" version, which only tilts side to side, and the "Standard" version, which doesn't move at all. The "Deluxe" and "Commander" version cabinets also have widescreen LCD monitors, while the "Standard" has a 29" CRT.
The game was licensed from and was developed with assistance from Boeing and Northrop Grumman.
