The game features various Navy fighter aircraft and bonus fighter aircraft. Missions introduce new game concepts, aircraft, and weapons against tough opponents and live fire. Missions must be performed before moving to the combat zone. In each era, missions are located both at the Top Gun academy at Miramar and in a live combat zone. The game is composed of 36 missions spread over three eras of the history and near future of the Top Gun combat school. Mastiff also re-released the PS2 and GameCube versions in the same year.
In 2004, Mastiff published a version for Game Boy Advance. In 2002, it was ported to GameCube and in 2003 to PC. It was developed by Digital Integration and published by Titus Interactive. Top Gun: Combat Zones was released for PlayStation 2 in 2001. The point of view for the final part of the landing sequences is from the side of the aircraft carrier with the F-14 coming in from the right side of the screen. Landing of the aircraft can be particularly difficult as it requires the player to control both speed and angle of aircraft.
For the dogfights, the player is allowed to pick between three missile types, each varying in the target locking area they can be fired at. Gameplay takes place from the cockpit's point of view and consists of two main themes: dogfighting and landing the aircraft. If the player completes all four missions and successfully lands on the aircraft carrier, a scene is shown of the F-14 taxiing on the carrier and the player waving to the LSO crew. If the player loses but achieves a minimum score of 50,000 points, a still shot is shown of the player being presented the Top Gun plaque that was awarded to Iceman in the film. Given a choice of missiles, and starting with a training mission, the player is sent after an enemy aircraft carrier, an enemy base, and finally an enemy Space Shuttle. Piloting an F-14 Tomcat fighter, the player, as the film's protagonist Maverick, has to complete four missions. Two million copies of the NES version were sold. It is an adaptation of an earlier arcade game by Konami titled Vs. The Konami version of Top Gun was released for Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in November 1987 in the United States.
