Top Gun 





Refuel on the first mission

Sent in by Lee H.

According to the game manual, you aren't able to refuel on the first mission, 
but I discovered how you can. Select Tiger Missiles (the ones you only get 
10 of), use them all during the mission, and wait until your fuel reaches 4 
little bars full. Then press the Start button to call on the fuel plane. 





Landing on the carrier

Sent in by Mac

When landing on the carrier its quiet simple. Starting out it will ask you 
to speed down. Hold down B and hold the nose all the way up by pulling 
up on the stick, or pushing down on the controller. Your speed will bleed 
off rapidly. Keep the carrier in the center of the screen and extend the 
center line of the carrier through the cross hair. When told to go up. 
Add power and pull up. If you do not add power you will slow down to 
quickly. For going down cut back on power and push the nose over.

The best landing speed would be about 295-310. Keep it there your 
whole approach and you should do fine.





Hints

On second and third missions keep plane pointed up to avoid fire from 
enemy ships. When on the last mission use T-40 bombs to destroy space 
shuttle.If you need to gain speed fast when getting a refill on fuel hold the 
A button. When screen flashes danger tilt plane far to the left then abruptly 
to the right Keep doing this until danger is gone. Get a high score of 50,000 
or more to become the top gun.





Level two tip

Sent in by Greg Smeck

On Level 2, hold the up button so you face the water. This way you won't 
have to fight many of the planes and only worry about the boats and subs. 
I like to go left and right continuously throughout the level, this way 
you won't have to fight most of the ships as well. But you will have to 
fight some of them, it is a lot easier though.
