The F-14 jet engines roar as you launch off the carrier deck into the wild blue yonder on a mission to save us all from World War III. Suddenly, high above hostile waters, bogeys flash onto your radar. They're everywhere! Your heart pounds as you accelerate to Mach 2 and start blasting with your guns and heat-seeking missiles. Tracers zip by and shells shatter your senses. You'll needs lots of guts and lightning reflexes for this one!
GAME PLAY: Four combat levels test your fighter pilot skills against enemies in the air, on the sea, and on the ground. The ultimate test in combat level four puts you up against the enemy's killer satellite space base, which is their means of conquering the heavens and dominating the world. You even need to sharpen your flying skills at mid-air refueling and landing on that Navy flat top which comes at you fast when you're flying an F-14. So strap yourself in for the ride of your life as the Top Gun fighter pilot!
Top Gun is loosely based on the film of the same name. It is an action game in which the player controls an F-14 Tomcat fighter through four different missions.
The action is seen from a first-person cockpit view. Depending on the mission, different kinds of targets must be destroyed. There are always enemy aircraft, but some missions include sea and ground targets as well. Two weapons are available: machine guns (with unlimited ammunition) and missiles. The player can choose from three types of missiles before a mission: the more powerful ones can only be carried in lower quantities.
Enemy aircraft either overshoot the players's plane from behind and can be easily taken down, or they come from the front and fire guns and missiles. Sometimes, an enemy plane will position itself on the player's six. It should be lost quickly by steering left and right, or instant death follows.
Halfway through missions two through four comes a refueling sequence where the fuel plane's nozzle must be aligned with one's aircraft.
Every mission (except the first one) features a final mission target, which can take a lot more damage than regular targets.
Each mission concludes with a landing attempt on the aircraft carrier. To successfully land, the player's plane must have a certain altitude and speed. Successfully landing gives bonus points, but crashing the plane doesn't end the game - it simply costs a life.
