Top Gun (NES)

MrOldSchool · 03-25-2007, 10:56 PM

This is one of Konami's best NES titles, and it was a big seller back when it came out from what I know. I was a fan of this game long before I was a fan of the film, and I first played it back in 1998, although that wasn't the first time I had known of its existance. We also used to have the Konami handheld, which I played years before the actual NES game, but it's probably disappeared without a trace from the whereabouts of this entire house. Anyway, yeah, moving on. The game is alot of fun, and it's easier to play than most other flight sims, and that makes it easy to enjoy and get into. Also get a nice little NES-ified version of the Top Gun theme played at the title screen. I never even got into the movie until 2002. But this remains one of my favorite titles from Konami's NES/Famicom library. I also got the japanese version of this game. I also highly recommend "Top Gun:The Second Mission". A bit more challenging, and also really good despite the fact that there WAS NO second Top Gun movie! I also heard this was Konami's first licensed game.

Seen it, and I'm put out, because NOBODY hated this game until he reviewed it. Same thing with Simon's Quest. Nobody hated that either until he reviewed it.

**GK Punk** · 03-25-2007, 11:26 PM

I hated that game when I was a kid. Still love Simon's quest though.

And Ive never seen any of his reviews, to be honest.

I hated Top Gun when I was a kid, and I still think it sucks. Love Simon's Quest, though. Now and forever. "What a horrible night to have a curse." Amazing line. I love "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," too. Great game. The McKids game was sweet, too.

MrOldSchool · 03-25-2007, 11:38 PM

I mean, if he said Pac Man or Galaga sucked hypothetically, he'd probably get everybody or almost everybody to agree with him.

Well, as I'm sure you know, many people don't know how to think for themselves. They're insecure, so they go along with whatever opinion they think they can relate to. In this case, humor is what drives them to agree with the opinion. It happens. Oh well.

Good job, you've now got the night time music stuck in my head.

And way to try and put that quote into your mod title. Too long!

Ra · 03-26-2007, 12:14 AM

How about "Curse this horrible night!" or something?

And from what I have heard of Top Gun, it sucked. I'm not just talking about the Angry Nintendo Nerd's review. I have a cousin who smashed his cartage because he got so frustrated with it when he was a kid. It was probably the worst thing he had set his eyes upon for years. And that landing sequence at the end of the level looked pretty off from what I have seen...

Yeah oddly I don't remember hitting the button to save it

Top Gun I never had a problem with. MC Kids I never had a problem with. Simon's Quest FTW.

This is the game I had a problem with. I'll always hate/love it. It's so awesome to be so forgivingly bad.

*Brodie* · 03-26-2007, 11:17 AM

I started hating this thread after he reviewed it.

He's full of it. I still love TMNT 1 for nes and I still love top gun. They were both really fun when I was young. I haven't played them for a long time because my games don't work and my nes system is done for.

I agree, he is full of it. James is starting to piss me off. And I find it funny how people can say that landing the plane in Top Gun is impossible, because I manage to do it almost EVERY SINGLE TIME I play it. And there's only 4 missions in the whole game, and a good game shouldn't be so easy that you can breeze through it the first time you play it. If a game were that easy, it would get boring fast, because of the lack of challenge.

*Deathknight* · 03-28-2007, 09:52 AM

Meh, I get tired of hearing him reviewing games. Some of the games he critizes are good games. I love Simon's Quest, it's the only Castlevania game I truely enjoyed. MC Kids was the most retarded concept ever, to base a game on Mcdonalds, but when you get around that it's actually a very good game. Level designs are excellent and it's fun to play. I did play Top Gun 2 as a kid, pretty fun game though vs was kinda silly though. My friend and I could never tell who won until it showed who was crashing.

MrOldSchool · 03-31-2007, 01:38 AM

Armake21 is alot funnier and better than him, and I DEFINATELY take Armake21 over James and his sorry ass any day. At least people don't hate games Armake hates just because he hates them. And I don't like Armake just because of that. Armake is entertaining, he's funny, and he's CERTAINLY BETTER THAN JAMES. I also get pissed at the people who accuse him of copying off of James, because he's nothing like James. Armake's got his own style. Seriously, Armake is so much better than James ever was.

*Revan* · 04-01-2007, 01:21 AM

James and Armake both swear a lot. James' reviews are sometimes completely rediculous but at least I find his cursing amusing.

I tend to agree with Armake more but his language seems forced and I can't listen to him talk talk talk talk.
