Your commanding officer orders you to play this game!
Gameplay: Classic shoot em up here. Aim at those pesky planes and make them go KABOOM. Your cannon and missles will get the job done. Although you only have a certain amount of missles, and sometimes they are needed to defeat the boss, so use them wisely. Landing can be a b****, so practice will make perfect. Also, learn to refuel or you will not have enough lives to beat the game.
Music: Personally I enjoy the music, when it actually is playing. "Danger Zone" played during the demo, which i thought was awsome. Also, the Top gun theme was done quite well. I was perturbed that no music played during the actual dogfight scenes.
This is one of the better early NES games. Try and find it on E-bay if you don't have it. It is worth every penny.
