After Burner III — About this game
The F-14 Tomcat flies through enemy airspace in a jet combat game that puts the aircraft and its targets in view ahead. Keep the fighter moving to avoid incoming fire, line up distant opponents and use guided missiles when a lock is available. The afterburner changes the pace of an approach, while ground installations and airborne formations keep the route varied. Surviving each sortie requires watching the whole screen instead of following a single target into danger.
