Top Gun: Guts and Glory is a modern jet flight simulation that was released in 1993 for the original Nintendo Game Boy in Europe and North America.

This video game is loosely based on the Top Gun movie starring Tom Cruise. Essentially controlling a modern U.S. Air Force jet through ten levels, players must take out enemy jet fighters in addition to battleships.

Aircraft that can be chosen are the F-14 Tomcat, the F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighter, the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the Soviet-made MiG-29 Fulcrum. Players can either dedicate themselves to a long career mode, engage in a quick air combat session, or go on a bombing run. Passwords help store the player's progress in career mode.

Due to various limitations found on the original Game Boy system, the player can only see and fight against two enemy aircraft at a time.
