List of Top Gun video games

The Konami version of Top Gun was released for Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in November 1987 in the United States.

It is an adaptation of an earlier arcade game by Konami titled Vs. Top Gun, released for the Nintendo VS. System.

Gameplay takes place from the cockpit's point of view and consists of two main themes: dogfighting and landing the aircraft.

Top Gun: Danger Zone, developed by Distinctive Software and published by Konami, was released for PC (DOS) in 1991.

Top Gun: Guts and Glory, developed by Distinctive Software and published by Konami, was released for Game Boy in January 1993.

The game offers extra modes and jet fighters like other USA F-series and the MiG-29 Fulcrum, in combat with top enemy aces flying MiGs.

Top Gun: Fire at Will was released by Spectrum Holobyte in 1996 for Mac OS, MS-DOS, Windows, and PlayStation.

[2] The overall plot focuses on the player-character, Maverick, going to combat in Cuba, North Korea, and Libya against a secret group of mercenary pilots called the "Cadre".

The game is composed of 36 missions spread over three eras of the history and near future of the Top Gun combat school.

Only the first era is accessible from the beginning, and is set in South East Asia, toward the end of the Vietnam War (erroneously showing the F-14 engaging in combat with North Vietnamese forces, despite never having fired a shot in action during that conflict).

The final era is set within the Arctic Circle and depicts a future conflict based around disputed borders and a global fuel crisis.

Top Gun for Nintendo DS was released on February 23, 2006, in Japan, April 28 in North America,[3] and May 3 in Europe.

It was developed by Interactive Vision, and published by Mastiff Inc in North America, 505 Games in Europe, and Taito in Japan.

The story-driven campaign features film actors, a set of solo missions, and a multiplayer mode for up to 4 players.

The plot involves the Miramar Top Gun School featuring cartoon versions of the film characters Maverick, Iceman, and Viper.

The player flies missions from the USS McKinley in the Gulf, which involve shooting down hostile planes and destroying missile boats.

Head of Spectrum Holobyte Steve Race commented, "There is still no sign of a publisher plan for any licensee, and the machine is supposed to be just five months away from launch.

"[28] In 1996, a Top Gun game was also in development by Spectrum Holobyte for the Panasonic M2 but it was never released due to the system's cancellation.
