Not many of us have the good fortune of taking a soak in a hot tub

 

time machine and waking up in 1986, the year the fighter jet pilot

 

officially became the raddest job on the planet. Fewer still know the

 

whereabouts of a decent arcade that has an After Burner Climax

 

cabinet, the 2006 revival of Sega's classic air combat franchise.

 

Thankfully, in less than a month, all of us can experience the glory

 

of stopping a nuclear inferno from within the cockpit.

 

 

 

Sega of America has dated the Xbox Live Arcade release of After Burner

 

Climax for April 21, followed by an April 22 release on PSN. [update:

 

Sega Europe Ltd. has confirmed the same release dates for Europe.] The

 

publisher did not announce a price for the downloadable title, but the

 

Japanese version was previously priced at the $10 equivalent.
