NES Longplay [359] Top Gun 2: The Second Mission

[@sigbauer9782]

As a former F-14 pilot, I can tell you that this is exactly what our early simulators looked like.

Thanks for your Service I'm prior service, Army here

Current AF pilot. As a kid, I could never land on the carrier in this game. Probably still can't. lol!

[@FreedomCompatriots]

It's the still the Iranians preferred flight simulator! 🤣

[@fayettenom2681]

I remember playing this as a kid thinking that landing was the hardest thing possible lol! When I finally landed me and my brothers went through the roof! This brings back memories before bills and taxes to when everything was possible!

That was my fater's favourite game, who died in 1999... I always got game over, when I met the trees, so I never finished this game. Good old memmories, thanks for uploading...:)

This game was a favorite for dads everywhere for some reason. Well the first one anyway.

[@xxdeadchannelxx]

F for respects to your father. I'm sorry to hear that he died over 20 years ago. And yeah, I played this game once and I couldn't even get past the first mission since I sucked at it, lol.

[@rollinggamer2582]

_Top Gun: Maverick_ is just going to be a film adaptation of this, right?

[@memenest468]

No

[@SJReid82]

It better be, or otherwise this game is nothing more than flagrant false advertisement from 30 years ago.

We NEED a live action version of the space shuttle fight. Space Shuttles make everything cooler.

Yes

[@robtierney5653]

Actually this was to be released after Top Gun 2 Maverick, but the movies has been that delayed ;)

[@Miyakolover]

The second level has the tallest trees in the world XD

[@DeathBringer769]

I grew up with this game as a kid. Damn hard but once I finally made it to the end it felt so damn satisfying! The plane landing took me forever to figure out too, lol.

[@SonicSlicer]

As a kid, I never got past those damned trees.

[@Volodka7000]

Yes.

[@Trbrigade]

Mee too. Never get far than second boss- helicopter. This game was hard!!!

[@MuchKoku]

"Black Jack is in reach! Blast it out of the sky!" First time I played this part, I was blown away. The music, sound and overall presentation is amazing. The shaky controls due to engine back blast just adds to the epic moment.

[@alexsandrkerensky7457]

This game predates the actual tu-160 “blackjack” by a lot

[@mm34639]

Does it? Wikipedia says that Tu-160 first flight was in 1981, entered service in 1987, and game was released first in 1989

It is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built and second to the experimental

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

This game fixed a lot, if not all, of the first game's problems. The near-complete lack of music has been fixed with an awesome soundtrack, the landing sequences are easier, there's no midair refueling, and the action is much more intense! I dare say I like this game. Also, if you haven't heard Stone McKnuckle's remix of the first stage theme, go listen to it right now!

[@x3-LSTR-512]

Link plz

Ah the horrible memory of having to watch my older brother play this over and over has just came back to me!!

The opening title theme to Top Gun: The Second Mission rocks! In fact, both Top Gun for the NES and Top Gun: The Second Mission for the NES are the best!

The part with the trees was always difficult for me to pass as a kid

Me too and also defeating that damn helicopter 😂😂😊

I never made it to the space shuttle, think I only beat the helicopter twice. Could never understand why I couldn't just fly over the trees.

Same. Never got passed the trees. And I was 6 lol.

The one good thing about this game, to me, was its music. After all, what's not to love with the sweet ass bass sampling on some of the in-game tracks? :)

[@SirSnivyofNottingham]

Top Gun: The Second Mission was actually not bad. It was sharper and faster, with better graphics, and a totally awesome 2 player mode. Love or hate the first one all you want, but Top Gun: the Second Mission is totally awesome.

[@sarcasticguy4311]

A variation of the Konami works on controller 1. Up, Down, Left, Right, B, A, Start at the title screen. A sound will play to confirm it worked. You'll start with 9 extra lives instead of 2. There's a code that's well known that works on controller 2. Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start at the title screen. You'll hear a sound to confirm and whenever you gain 20,000 points you'll get 3 extra lives.

[@muppen74]

“Use combat skills!” Now, that’s some good advice. 👍

Wow - video is 9yrs old and it popped up in my recco videos. I conquered this game 30 years ago, but so cool to see it again!

I may be 17 but damn did I love playing this for the first time 3 years ago. God I grew up in the wrong era

[@stickyglue8083]

At least u can play the game in emulators 😀 back in our era it was not easy to get the games.

if you like this old game you might also like EV Nova. its a '90s space trading / combat / exploration game you can also find for free online its really dark and can sometimes make you feel like in a dangerous journey deep in space

Never could wrap my head around why a jet pilot would want to fly into a forest instead of over it.

You could make your plane fly as slow as 512 mph then it was easier. You had to speed up and slow down a certain way.

[@Max-qz4tw]

My father. A USAF pilot could not land on the carrier, or his pilot friends or any of us kids. Turns out the directions were completely wrong (1st game), and the game was broken on that but. Still was a crazy game, and thank God ace combat came out 7 years later.

[@stickyglue8083]

Or maybe your father was not that good piloting fighters as he thought 😂 just kidding

All you did was match the altitude and speed it told you at the bottom, with the numbers on the left... it wasn't broken at all. XD
