Top Gun NES is a combat flight game developed and published by Konami, released in North America in November 1987. You fly an F-14 from a first-person cockpit view, fighting MiGs and landing on a carrier after every mission. This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
The game puts you in the seat of an F-14 fighter pilot. There are four levels, each with enemy MiGs to shoot down. Level two adds a bigger target: an enemy aircraft carrier you must destroy.
Fuel is part of the challenge. Refueling happens in mid-air, and you can call in a tanker once per level. In the last three levels, refueling is required to finish the mission.
Each level ends with a landing. You must land the F-14 on a U.S. aircraft carrier to move on. You also choose between three different types of missile. The game sold about two million copies in the United States.
Collectors track two shell types for this game: a 5-screw version and a 3-screw version. The game inside is the same. We list the Top Gun 5-screw cartridge separately, so check the photos on this page to see the exact Top Gun cartridge you will receive.
Fly again in the sequel, Top Gun: The Second Mission, or take a helicopter into battle in Tiger Heli. Browse all NES games and read about Top Gun on Wikipedia.

landing the Plane was easy!
The game does indeed get a bad rap. But when taken for what it is, and what it was it is a nice combat flight sim for its day. There are videos on youtube that show you how to land on the carrier rather easily. It is short, but at days end it is fun.

A great game.
TOP GUN is a flight simulator made by Konami
After seeing AVGN’s review (and the re-revisiting) I had low expectations for this game. It’s very short, yet challenging. It’s only 4 missions long! Well, Kirby’s Dream Land was only 5 levels long, and that game was good. So, I disregarded AVGN and bought it. After playing a while, I was insantly loved the game. A kid can refuel and land a plane, yet an adult can’t. Also If refuelling is hard, run out of missles and get to 4 bars on the fuel bar and press START. You’ll hear a beeping sound, and the refuelling plane will come. If you miss, there’s no penalty. You can use that to practice.
Music 5/5
The title music is… awsome. And the demo and refueling music is cool too. However, there is no music in the missions (If you want music in the missions, get the famicon version).
Diffuclty:
The game is hard. Landing and refuelling can be hard at first, but then they become easier. There is no continues, but with only 4 missions, it would be too easy.
In conclusion, Top Gun is NOT bad. It’s a good game. For 0.01 cents, It’s a good deal.

Nothing special but still pretty fun game.
Not the most accurate game to its source material, like most movie based games. But is a very fun game…and very frustrating as well. A true NES classic overall. Does take a lot of getting used to, but once you do that’s when it becomes really fun.
