Soryy to make you wait. It worked for me in the U.S. but I did buy it back in April. Good luck!

This is why digital only is a disasterous path to go for. It makes you too dependant on the company. Worser fact is most digitals aren't even cheaper than their physical copy counter-part. If anyone is in doubt than reading this thread alone proves it.
Physical copy all the way.

Or get the OG Xbox version and play it on a 360. If that's an option for you.

The sad thing though, is that a lot of physical copies today are half-finished games that require a ton of patches to get them where they should have been on release, thus rendering the physical copy a useless beta in years to come when the patch servers are down.

Afterburner Climax was a fantastic game, glad to have purchased it when I did.

indeed, they should have prepared for it and made the game so that when the license expires, the game swaps out the models of the Ferraris and Hornets to visually original vehicles. Dunno if that would have been OK with the manufacturers either though but eh.
FYI, anyone fortunate to have access to the PC version of Outrun 2006 will most likely want to keep an eye on the fan-made Championship Edition currently in the works by one Daniel Corville. In his words:
Not much else to go on other than a screenshot comparison (more close-ups), but it looks promising, if early: Daniel has only just recently announced his mod in a community thread dedicated to Howard_Casto's long-awaited fan patch for the game.
Both of these fan updates seek to fix commonly noted faults of the PC version of Outrun 2006, namely missing graphical effects (e.g. bloom); the stretched UI; a lack of force feedback; save glitches, etc. In either case, they're arguably the definite version of OutRun 2 in the making (plus extras!).
Yup! One of the earliest additions Howard_Casto made with his patch is porting a couple of the noteworthy effects from the Xbox 360 version of OutRun Online Arcade:

These games aren't really lost forever. If you have a ps3 with custom firmware you can still get and install it. I wouldn't really advocate piracy under normal circumstances, but this is far closer to archiving than piracy.
I also imagine that in the next few decades, we'll probably get robust 360/PS3 emulation.

Few people are aware of the Afterburner sequel..SHAFTNOZZLE
The flipside of this however, is that After Burner Climax was never going to see a physical release regardless. The digital market is what's making releases like this viable in the first place.

i gave up the fight. We're past the point where buying physical only is the best option. Too many games need huge day one patches or are small indie stuff that will never see physical releases.
After Burner Climax was available for 4 years digitally and never got a console physical release in that time. It's gone now, but I imagine Sega could replace licensed assets if they wanted to sell it again.
I would love to own a Lindbergh.

Man buying a lindbergh would be great
but y'know, rent and bills to pay and not being homeless and shit

Not yet, I dont actually have a flight yoke for my lindbergh. I have a control panel suited for virtua fighter 5r, which I also have. My key can decrypt afterburber climax and I have a disc drive and the dvd, however. I've booted it up no problem.
One day i'll build an afterburner control panel.
What did you pay for your Lindbergh, and how difficult was it to wire to a monitor and a stick? The ones I see on eBay from time to time run about $800.

lost..... like tears.... in rain
I dont really remember what I paid for it, probably around $600 or more. You can use a normal monitor with it no problem, and my control panel had a standard connection. All you need is an atx power supply.
There it is up in my closet.

You mean those fragile devices with the delicate parts that fail often?
Neither the 360 or it's HDD will last that long though
If you are paranoid, you can clone your ps3 harddrive into an image and save it securely. That way, if your hard drive fails, you can just buy a comparable harddrive and load the image onto it.

it's easy to back up on any flash drive. Discs are fragile too.

To be honest, for stuff like Outrun or Afterburner you really want to get the Deluxe cabinets to get the full experience if you are going through the hassle of getting arcade copies.
This is a topic about people playing the game on their tvs.
Crazy Taxi is a really rare case, because even if they did have the licensed music, the game feels empty without the actual licensed businesses. The absurdity of having to rush someone to Pizza Hut or the Levi's store specifically made it so much more entertaining.

So true. The gaming industry has never really properly addressed the cash flow problems inherent in retail product releases. But in nickel-and-diming us for DLC and skins and subscription fees and online multiplayer, they have also atomized their products.
Their every solution suffers the hidden downside--people passing on a new release to wait for the Game of the Year edition, etc. And, of course, purchasability and usability in the unknown future.
After Burner - After Burner II hit arcades in 1987. 18 years later, after countless console & computer ports, and arcade spiritual successors, Sega finally showed a true After Burner game at E3 2005 on what was then next-gen arcade hardware.

Now another 10 years have passed and the console port has since been removed.
Just makes me sad.

Praise be to emulation.

The drive is not typically going to be very useful - if it has content on it that was originally downloaded from Xbox live, then you need to be logged into the same live account to access it - and if you have access to a live account that has purchased the game, then you can just download it from your purchase history. The only time it might be helpful is for those rare cases where the title hasn't just been delisted, but actually deleted - in which case having both the drive and the live account information will let you run it.

You'd need access to that Live account to even play them. Would be easier to just get a hacked console at that point.
I have Outrun and After Burner on 360 and have to keep a console around for stuff that'll never get BC support like NCAA Football.

You can emulate the ps3 (maybe even the 360).

I was lucky enough to find a sit down cabinet in China last spring - great game (although I did end up having a small audience of punk kids - staring at the foreigner rather than the game 
). They also had a sit down Sega Rally 2 cabinet, so I felt that I had lucked out.
I also travelled to Indonesia, and noticed a couple of 8 player Daytona cabinets, which seemed popular with the local kids. Unfortunately, most the of the arcade machines there seemed to be broken 2nd hand machines from Japan, with messed up colours etc. I was having fun with a House of the Dead machine, until I got to a point in the game where I had to shoot the zombie in the lower left hand corner, but the broken machine wouldn't recognise a shot there, so I just kept on dying

I remember the last time Sega even brought up the series was in another videogame...as a song.
lol I also plugged my xbox 360 the other day and forgot I had bought these games lol.

The arcade is also available through Teknoparrot. Tho Playstation 3 version is probably the same game with better performance, since Lindbergh was an arcade board designed to make Playstation 3 ports.
