also I would say the Afterburner series failed because there was no possible way it could live up to the Arcade versions. I believe either Afterburner II or III had one of the greatest cabinets with some very nice controls and even cooler the seat would bank left and right to your movement on the yoke.
*More useless information* I believe Afterburner II is what John Connor is playing in the arcade in Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
There seemed to be similar confusion with the Afterburner series. If I have it straight, here's how it went.
Afterburner 1 made its debut in the U.S. with its Sega Master System version. Sega highly promoted this title, but Nintendo had all the good console programmers at the time, so Afterburner 1 for the SMS ended up as crap. It was so badly received in the U.S. - both critically and commercially - that plans to release the arcade version in the U.S. were pulled (although it did make it to Japan). Instead, Sega added a few extra features, called the arcade release Afterburner II, and the game started up with the Afterburner I title soaring into view, and a few friendly planes would fly by and blast the Afterburner I title to smithereens.
Afterburner 3 would be released for the Sega CD a number of years later, and would fail commercially for very different reasons than #1 did.
