When the choice of a vertical shooter game in the past is still very limited, 1942 presents the gameplay and the theme is most obvious.

So many things that make this game left a deep impression, not just gameplay alone, but also various supporting elements in it. You certainly still remember the sound of the telegram became “background music” her or some event that is often annoying. Regardless, 1942 should be recognized is the basic foundation that has inspired many later games.
Are you including gamers who never played before 1942? If yes, please do not hesitate to join in this article, take a little memory that may have been forgotten and recall fun times together with the young green plane on this one.
Plot
There is something quite strange happened in this 1942 series. As we know, this game was first released for arcade machines, and then ported to the NES and achieve a far greater popularity there. Cold hands behind them? Companies that produced many giant franchise like Street Fighter and later Resident Evil. Very true, Capcom was the one who initiated the birth of this 1942 epic game. As we know, Capcom is a company based in Japan. 1942 was also created by Yoshiki Okamoto, who incidentally is a Japanese national. But the main plot of the 1942 asks you to destroy Japanese aircraft with no mercy.
1942 started in the beginning of World War II, when Japan and the United States began arguing in the Pacific Ocean. You played the pilot of an aircraft called the Super-Ace American assigned to penetrate the defence of Japan and headed to Tokyo. A journey which is not difficult if you do it in peace. In a state of war? It also means asking you to destroy any aircraft and forces that hinder the Sea of ??Japan along the way. Your battle begins.
As a vertical shooter game that is simple, 1942 certainly does not present a complex control system. You only have two key functions: fire and manoeuvres to avoid the bullets. The core game is to shoot all the enemies that appear on the screen and simultaneously ensure the survival of your life by avoiding any existing bullets. Shots of the Super-Ace is also able to grow stronger as the number of power ups that you collect. You just need to make sure every red plane that appears on the screen to get the upgrade ruined this one. Simple is not it?
Unlike the vertical shooter games at this time, 1942 was still classified as vertical shooter game that humane. You certainly will not find “fence shot” which made the enemy like that you often find in Touhou, for example. You also will not find epic boss battle that is currently the main elements that can not be separated from a vertical shooter game. All deficiencies in 1942 finally overhauled and repaired in the next series, 1943.
What I love from 1942?
If you are talking about 1942, then you will definitely discuss the movement of this one is super effective, an innovation that somehow never followed vertical shooter games later. In the vertical shooter game today, Bomb and Special Attacks may be the most effective weapon to save themselves from enemy bullets inevitable. But in 1942, this way can only be done by pressing the manoeuvre. Your plane will turn 360 degrees in a circular motion with the sound of the epic plane that is difficult to remove from the head. Not just dodge bullets you can also avoid the aircraft that come quickly using this method. But beware, one position after doing the same with the dead.
Kamikaze aircraft against the Weird
Imagine if you are a fighter pilot at the moment and you are asked to go to war against the country’s air force opponent. You would anticipate a major war in which you and the enemy planes should exchange shots, where fate is determined to live and die in it. But what happened in 1942? Most of the planes are shooting at you, but not infrequently you will find a squadron of planes that appear as though she were trying kamikaze. They just fly coming toward us without spending any shot, slowly but surely. This movement seems to be an unofficial sign language, “Please shoot and destroy us!”. The planes are strange ..
Power Up! The plane, More Destructive
Upgrade capability shot Super-Ace may be one feature that makes 1942 look so fun. By shooting at every red plane that is, you have the opportunity to get a shot a bigger and broader. With power-ups, almost all the enemies can be destroyed very easily, it only takes a few seconds only. Especially if you get two additional relief plane which can be obtained in the same way. In 1942, instead of quick shots it takes to dominate the way the fight, but the extent of fire. Therefore, you must ensure that all power-up is successful you find. It’s a matter of life and death, man!
Theme Song of repetitive
In contrast to the theme song in the first period with a strong NES sounds funny and full of joy, 1942 comes with a “theme song” who do not even deserve the name as a song, but oddly enough you will always remember the sound of this one. “PIPP PIPP .. … .. piiipp pippp pippp .. ..” should be a standard sound you hear every time you start a mission. Her voice sounds similar to a telegram be a sign that you should begin to prepare for war. Although many years have not played this game, but the sound of a telegram apparently still stuck in my head. There is a special impression when listening to him. A fairly brutal effects of a very simple sound.
