The only question is why the Amiga version so slow, I think it could be much better... Surely can beat the MD version. I know, Sega would not support more an opponent from the era, but still...

Try running it on an A1200, should run smoother

Great video... I look forward to seeing more multi-platform reviews (maybe Street Fighter II

).

Lord Aga · 30 October 2010, 22:58

That video is nice, but the sound is really putting me off. That guy's voice and pronounciation are not so easy on the ears, and the in-room recording has some classic pr0n type echo to it. Also sometimes game sounds are to loud so you can't listen to him at the same time.
Hope it gets improved for the second episode.

skateblind · 30 October 2010, 23:03

Great review. Certainly one of the best on youtube.

31 October 2010, 13:19

Thanks guys!!!!!

Next one is slowly but surley in the making!!!

Please subscirbe

thanks for all the support and feedback.

blade002 · 31 October 2010, 13:25

Holy shit! I thought my ex fiance had returned to the forum to say hi!! Her name was also Jessica

Anyway, i will check out the vid because we are both in the same City

gimbal · 31 October 2010, 19:16

Okay review. Its always nice when the reviewer is totally into the game itself, and this guy is completely hot for After Burner

Never got very far in that game, it moves so fast - I couldn't see what was going on when I was little, I still can't.

Adropac2 · 01 November 2010, 03:47

Nice enthusiasm for a loved game

I would say however that the original game itself isn't very good no matter what the version- it's no Space Harrier that's for sure.Brilliant music though and it was jaw dropping back then.Climax is a much better game

Xenon · 04 November 2010, 01:48

Great review

gibs · 04 November 2010, 03:01

good reviewer !

Greyfox · 04 November 2010, 10:45

great review and professionally presented..sound needs addressing but other than that it's very well done..but..you need to review more exclusive Amiga reviews

s2325 · 04 November 2010, 11:02

Amiga version is slow only when you can compare to other (MegaDrive) version. I think NES version was unofficial (by Tengen?). And how about some words about After Burner 3?

Amiga Forever · 04 November 2010, 12:28

Very good......I have to say Sega saturn afterburner win the hand down because faster and lot smoother

Indeed a 1:1 port, plus the Saturn version supports the 3D pad analog stick. btw: the European C64 version from Activision sucks, but the US version from Mindscape is pretty good for a 8-bit Computer.

Zetr0 · 04 November 2010, 16:24

I was quite taken by the PSP version of Afterburner -

I have to admit - I found most home computers and consoles woe-full in their impressions of after burner - yeah the Megadrive and Amiga were good - but I am an arcade purist to be honest -

hence why I have HUGE issues with home versions of r-type!

so for the time spent telling me about the game I feel I should give something back.

Pro's

1. A lot of passion and memorabilia was shown for the game.
2. Lots of screenies and clips of multiple versions - of which a good dedication to the biggest home ports
3. A good shot of the machine loading and storing mechanisms - from carts - tapes - disks and CD's
4. A good level of knowledge show about the game
5. Good commentary and fair views of the product

Possible improvements

1. Slow down the speed of the speach - I know the tube is limmited to 10 minutes but it would be better to do two parts.
2. A little more Base in the microphone - the top end is a litte tinny.

Other than that - great stuff!!!!!

Theres lots of multi-platform games and I think in a lot of ways you have found a niche of games reviews. - exploiting the multi-platform approach of games -

As mentioned before I am also looking forward to a Street Fighter 2 review - perhaps a Double Dragon or Ikari Warriors.

I know the guys (and girls) over at retro-gammer will welcome the review - and would provide honest feed back for what you are doing right and how to improve other areas.

I suppose the most important thing to ensure it that you enjoy your reviews =D

=)

Ill have some of what your smoking please. PSP version was the worst version I have ever played.

Like the reviewer, I love the original Arcade version. Playing it on mame is so cool, when its hooked up to a large screen TV.

wow.... 15 minutes.... thats gracious of them..... to be fair if you take th 10 minute allotment and then add their advertisment time to it.... surpirsingly its nearly 15 minutes

DonAmiga · 04 November 2010, 21:34

Wow Great link, top quality, Thanks will be subscribing

may even get a, saturn

Thorham · 05 November 2010, 20:16

Great video

One point of constructive criticism: Work on the sound. The speech is sometimes hard to understand. Get that right, and you've got a winner

amiman99 · 26 November 2010, 04:52

There is a Sega 32X version also, which he did not mention. I would say is very close to Sega Saturn or the Arcades.
I have this game for 32X and I enjoy it very much.

I played the amiga version also, like 20 years ago. I did not think it was that slow, I need to check it out again.

On C64, I think I had that game on floppy disk...I'm not sure.

Edit: I just found out that there are 2 versions of Afterburner for C64, one by Mindscape and other by Activision. The Mindscape is much better looking then the Activision.

Wow indeed. May I make a suggestion to invest in some sort of fire security. If that lot went up in the same room it'd be toast

Parsec · 15 December 2010, 14:27

Great video. Good to see the Amiga version is the decent US version as well, does anyone remember the crappy European version which was an ST port. I seem to remember the publishers saying in a magazine interview that the Amiga version was going to be loads better than the ST version, but what was released was the same. Wankers.
