Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Gamers who shovelled a small fortune of coins into the original After Burner arcade game back in the good old days will be pleased to hear that Sega has revealed that the updated After Burner Climax will hit the Xbox LIVE Arcade in Autumn this year.

Take to the skies in one of three officially licensed fighter planes (the F-14 Tomcat, F-15 Eagle, and FA-18 Hornet — all with customizable paint jobs) and do battle with hordes of enemies in a series of fast-moving stages; the player picks the course of the game on-the-fly, choosing which path to take at the end of missions, and depending on those selections and player performance the game will unfold differently.

Now if only we could get hold of one of those hydraulic arcade cabinets from the original, we'd be the most popular kids in school!
