That video isn't real, it famously didn't come out on CPC but did on C64 & Spectrum, was the end of the Amstrad pretty much.

I remember reading about this in a magazine when it came out and was never quite sure whether they were joking or not. I guess they were being serious.

I know it looks terrible but I'm just amazed they managed to pull it off at all. Does anyone know who coded it?

There's actually two versions of Afterburner on the NES. One by Sunsoft and another by Tengen. There's also two Star wars games. One by namco and anothr by LJN (I think)

There's also two Afterburner conversions for the C64. Actually the machine got two versions of quite a few games; usually the UK version won out but sometimes the US version was better.

It's not too bad to be honest, but not a patch on the NES original. Konami released quite a lot of conversions to the C64; some of them were programmed in the UK (Nemesis, Salamander, TMNT) and released by well known UK labels here (but by Konami themselves in the US), and some were programmed in the US (Castlevania, Metal Gear, Simpsons Arcade).
