Item Description

Top Gun: The Second Mission is Konami's follow-up to its NES adaptation of the 1986 film, and it takes what made the original a cockpit-gripping experience and pushes the altitude higher. Released in Japan at the end of 1989 and in North America in January 1990, the sequel does more than retread familiar runway: it expands the mission structure, adds new enemies and delivers faster, more intense aerial combat than its predecessor, with graphics that are a clear step up.

The game puts you back in Maverick's seat in an F-14 Tomcat, flying from the cockpit view of the first game and fighting with an unlimited-ammo cannon and one of three missile types modeled on the Sidewinder, Sparrow and Phoenix, the better ones offering a wider lock-on area that also catches ground targets. The campaign's three missions each build to a boss modeled on advanced Soviet hardware of the day: a Tu-160 Blackjack, an Mi-24 Hind hunted through a fast forest obstacle course, and a "star wars" space shuttle reached through obstacle courses of lightning bolts and laser beams. The carrier landing that closes each stage is gentler than the original's, but the difficulty curve is demanding, with three lives, no continues and few checkpoints, and it will test even experienced players.

Beyond the campaign, a one-on-one dogfight mode pits you against seven enemy aces, and a split-screen mode lets two players' Tomcats fight each other. A new score replaces the first game's theme and now plays over the combat stages as well as the menus. Konami was at the top of its game in this era, producing some of the best NES software on the market, and the craftsmanship shows in the sense of speed and danger baked into every sortie. It is a product of its time in the best possible way: a tight, focused action game that doesn't waste a single screen.
