Yeah, one of the major downsides to games that don't come on physical media, once they're gone from PSN/XBLA/Steam et cetra they're gone for good for people who want to obtain them legally. On the plus side though, After Burner Climax does seem to be one of the games that runs pretty well in some of the early PS3 Emulator videos I've seen.
