[Push-Start] Review: Top Gun Hard Lock

Shaun Greenhaff Writes

'On March 3, 1969 the United States Navy established an elite school for the top one percent of its pilots. Its purpose was to teach the lost art of aerial combat and to insure that the handful of men who graduated were the best fighter pilots in the world. They succeeded. Today, the Navy calls it Fighter Weapons School. The flyers call it: TOP GUN.

Top Gun. Already you know whether or not you’re going to be interested in this game because of those two syllables. Everybody knows the original 80’s film, more cheese than aircraft really, but whether you like it or not it’s part of 80’s culture. Many games have been released in this universe, following the exploits of several pilots from the Navy’s elite fighter training school, the titular Top Gun the series is named for.
