Although the "After Burner" brand was long dormant, Sega created a number of aerial combat games centered on the F-14 Tomcat with many similar features, which are frequently regarded as part of the series. These include "" and its sequel "Strike Fighter" (later rebranded "After Burner III" in its home release). Later games associated with the series include "Sky Target" (which retained similar gameplay and presentation to the original, but with the addition of 3D graphics) and "Sega Strike Fighter" (an arcade flight combat game which featured free-roaming movement, boasting similar music but with an F/A-18 Hornet as the main plane).
