After Burner for PC-Engine and Sega Genesis Screens

The PC-Engine version has effects that the Genesis version doesn't, and that neither system should be capable of in hardware, such as the smooth scaling during take-off. This version also seems to have more sprites on screen at once than the Genesis version, and more colors, and more colorful backgrounds. In addition the the PC-Engine version also appears to have more frames of animation in the simulated scaling during gameplay than the Genesis version has.

The Genesis game has larger sprites for the jets and objects like the canyons, but appears to have fewer frames of animation in all objects when they approach the screen to simulate scaling.
