Top Gun on MSN Gaming Zone

Top Gun on MSN Gaming Zone is the news today, and for late 1998 PC players that usually means one thing: another download, patch, demo, date, or box hitting shelves.

The important bit: Microsoft announced Top Gun: Hornet’s Nest, by MicroProse, is now available for free multiplayer matchmaking on the MSN Gaming Zone. Top Gun: Hornet’s Nest is an action-packed flying game which combines high resolution 3-D graphics and realistic flying sequences, with one of the most popular action/adventure movies in history. The player takes the role of Maverick, the young Navy pilot from the movie, and faces the toughest of military opponents flying a F/A-18 fighter jet through over 30 fast-paced missions.

That is the kind of practical news that actually helps. Either grab it, patch it, or mark the date before the next flood of downloads buries it.
