Top Gun Easter Eggs Revealed!!!

In my recent review of Top Gun, I mentioned that the game included some unlockable Easter Eggs. I didn't list these features because unfortunately I am just not savvy enough to uncover stuff like that. That is why I love the internet and am thankful that others spend the time to figure this stuff out. So without further ado...here's some of the Eggs in Top Gun!
So all of these work by changing your pilot's name. First up? Want to play as Cole Trickle from Days of Thunder? Well input "COLE TRICKLE" as your pilots name and you get to fly around in a stock car from the Days of Thunder movie. You're also wearing a racing suit during the cut scenes. Silly? Yes. Awesome? Absolutely!
What's next? How about flying around as an X-Wing fighter from the original Star Wars films? I know, I know! Seriously cool, right? For this little egg, type in "LASERFACE JONES" and have fun! You still have your guns and missiles, so no lasers, but hey...it's the X-Wing so that's still cool in my book.
Last, and easily the coolest and funniest of them all, is the volleyball mini-game. Yeah, they added the volleyball. How great is that? Not only do you get to use Maverick and Iceman's heads for your player, but in the background is a tombstone that reads "Goose." So damn funny! For this one, just change the pilot's name to "VOLLEYBALL" and enjoy. If you don't want to play with two players, just don't touch the other head for a few seconds and it will turn into an AI opponent.
So there you have it! This just makes this game all the more worth the price. Buy this now if you are a fan of the film. You won't be disappointed. Also, if anyone has figured out any more Easter Eggs...let me know! I would love to see if there are anymore.
