Action Fighter is an overhead vehicular combat game released by Sega in 1986. It mimics the style of other games such as Spy Hunter and MotoRace USA. The player begins the game riding a superbike. In subsequent levels a sports car, a jet via added wings, jetski, helicopter and Formula One racing car can all be driven. All of the vehicles are fully armed to deal with enemy vehicles and gun emplacements intent on stopping the player's progress. The helicopter levels play as a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up.
