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 "Traverse USA". The player begins the game riding a superbike. In subsequent levels a sports car, a jetski, a helicopter and even a Formula 1 racing car can all be driven, as seen in the Title Screen. 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 and resembles "Xevious".
This game was also ported over to the Sega Master System.
