A fun game with annoying sounds. But so what.
But not back in 1986 fool! No sir. You would be the coolest kid on the block! Word would travel around school really fast that you just got a new kick-ass game called 1942. There would be talk in the hallways about how fun it is to have your one plane against an entire air force! How you could recreate the horrors and atrocities of World War 2!!! How you could fly through upgrades and get powerful new weapons to humiliate the enemy! Yes sirree bob. You would be on Easy Street. Everyone would be over at your house. The teachers would give you a free pass! You would show up with no homework and your hot teacher would be like "awww...your homework isn't done? That's okay. You must have been busy destroying the scoffers of freedom with your little white plane, flying over oceans and destroying battleships to help win the war for democracy. You get an A+!!!"
Yup. Life seems pretty good in 1986. You have cartoons on after school. you're encouraged to hate communists, and you have 1942 playing in your NES. The only bad thing? The sounds on the game make you cringe. Your plane has a few staticy noises it makes when shooting, and there is something that attempts to be music...but it just sounds like beeping mixed with that classic crunchy static sound. As a matter of fact, it's so bad that the cute girl in class comes over to watch you play, and she asks you turn down the sound. You tell her to go to hell and she leaves crying. Probably scarred for life. But why should you care? All of your other friends are over eating baloney sandwhiches, eating red kool-aid, and playing video games. It's as if life couldn't get any better.
And then you wake up and realize you're almost 30 and you're playing this silly little game because you have done nothing with your life. You live with your mother, and never got married...probably because word got out that you told the cute girl in your class to go to hell. So you sit in the dark, with no job, money, or friends...playing 1942....with the sound on. Because you refuse to turn the sound off. Ain't no hussy gonna tell you how to do things in your own/mother's house!! Screw that noise! You don't need friends...you don't need anything..just two hands, a Nintendo Entertainment System, and 1942.
.....and kool-aid.
