Great Old School shooter...
A one man mission to sink the enemy fleet before they can reach the USA. You play as this old 1942 bomber plane with a variety of short & wide range bullets as you play out the great WWII sea battles. A never ending sw... Read Full Review

Classic shooter
I used to really love shooters until they started getting pretty impossible. This game is one that doesn't fall into the realm of impossible. There are always just enough enemies trying to take you down and the bosses ... Read Full Review

Die-hard NES scrolling shooter.
Playing this game at the arcade was always a blast. The NES version does not disappoint in capturing the excitement. This is a scrolling shooting game that, at the time, was the base for future similar games to follo... Read Full Review

A good arcade game lose some graphic details on NES platform, but still allright.
If you're 30 years old or higher, you should remember 1942 as an arcade that you spent thousands of coins until the end of the game. The NES version is very simple on the graphics, but the challenge remains the same. D... Read Full Review
