the same year. The game is composed of 36 missions spread over three eras of the history and near future of the Top Gun combat school. In each era, missions are located both at the Top Gun academy at Miramar and in a live combat zone. Missions must be performed before moving to the combat zone. Missions introduce new game concepts, aircraft, and weapons against tough opponents and live fire. The game features various Navy fighter aircraft and bonus fighter aircraft. Only the first era is accessible from the beginning, and is set in South East Asia, toward the end of the Vietnam War (erroneously showing the F-14 engaging in combat with North Vietnamese forces, despite never having fired a shot in action during that conflict). During the second era, the action is set in the Persian Gulf States circa 1990; although the story does not make direct reference, parallels can be drawn to the real-world Gulf conflicts of that time (such as hunting for Scud missiles and protecting oil refineries). The final era is set within the Arctic Circle and depicts a future conflict based around disputed borders and a global fuel crisis.
