In the cockpit version, the seat tilted forward and backwards, and the cockpit rotated from side to side. The game itself was released in two variations in the US: a standard upright cabinet and a closed rotating cockpit deluxe version.
The aircraft, cannon and missile buttons are all controlled from an integrated flight stick.
These weapons are replenished by another aircraft, after beating a few stages. In the arcade version, the jet employs a machine gun and a limited number of heat-seeking missiles (in the Master System version the player has unlimited missiles). At the start of the game, the player takes off from an aircraft carrier called the SEGA Enterprise on a mission to destroy enemy jets over 18 stages. The game allows the player to control an F-14 Tomcat jet airplane. After Burner has also been referenced in many other Sega video games, such as Fighters Megamix, Shenmue and Bayonetta. Sega also produced several successors to the game to capitalize on its success, such as G-LOC: Air Battle.
