Reviews
Game
The videogame of Top Gun was cool by proxy thanks to the success of the movie, although the game was only average. You pilot your F-14 Tomcat in a pseudo 3-D flight simulator and destroy enemy air and ground targets with machineguns and missiles. The enemy comes on strong with fighter jets, battle ships, tanks, and various other vehicles. You'll have to dodge a lot of enemy fire and a crazy amount of missiles in order to beat each mission. The real annoying task comes from landing and refueling. The instructions given on screen are best ignored, just try and match your speed and altitude with the given amount. Since you don't actually have to kill anything except the bosses to beat each stage you can pretty much just avoid most of the enemies by simply flying up into a corner to breeze through each stage. The Japanese version of Top Gun has a lot more detail than the USA and UK releases.
Music
There isn't much music to speak of, but there is a nicely ported version of Harold Faltermeyer and Steve Stevens' instrumental from the movie and the refueling music is kind of nice. There is also an unused track in the game. It sounds like it would be a pause jingle, but you can't pause the game so it's unknown. Only the Japanese version of the game has ending credits, and the composers all use aliases. In order to give proper credit we compared the name given with the known composers working for Konami at the time and matched them up to the most obvious match.
Ripping
Ripping NES music is a very arduous process that is beyond the scope of this site.
