1943 - The Arcade Game

[shadowmaster0111]

which emulator did you use?

[classicgamevideos]

@shadowmaster0111

MAME. There is another emu but I forgot the name. It specialized in capcom games.

[SnowMonkVX]

Isn't there a version of this where you get upgraded weapons, like lasers and missiles, however, unlike the kai one, your still the p38?

[ModelOmega]

My favourite is the Auto Gun.

[jozman3000]

Sup, nice run on 1943. Have you ever heard of RetroUprising. com? I'm not trying to spam you or anything. I'm simply sending out a friendly invite to a great site I play at. If you're interested look us up. We also have a facebook page.

somebody knows where can I get the song at 5:35? I want it in my cell phone...so good memories

[wendyspwnsu]

i have 1942  game stand

[pollo20x6]

Does this game have an ending?

[demoniosinalas]

@pollo20x6 yes, stage 15...hard shit, trust me

[frozenray0079]

the song that starts at 9:11 is SO DOPE

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Objective target

Tone

May you fight bravely!

[sodazman]

Laser was the most awesome weapon in this game but it's not that easy to get.

[Caby717]

look at that three way!

[CandyHam]

I PLAYED THE SHIT OUT OF THIS GAME

...and I never beat it, even with a friend

[ThrilloVanHouten]

@CandyHam Get the ROM and load it up in MAME and beat it, like I did back in '02. It takes hours to beat, but this game has a sweet ending! Makes you feel patriotic and stuff.

[demoniosinalas]

@CandyHam my cousin and I always died in the last stage

[bacardipr05]

i use to stop at a local store when i was a kid on the way home from school to play this game just about everyday...and boy would i get mad if someone was on the machine...lol

[RehdBlob]

Music improved drastically in the game 1943, making it several times better than the game 1942

[Telamon8]

the laser(which is extremely rare in this game)is the best because you can shoot down betties in 1 shot

[iamface3]

oh i remeber this opening

[magestike111]

best arcade game !! nice music!!! 3way all shot

[alexmaknz]

Love this game, only managed to finish it 4 times on one credit. I usually die on the yamato boss... too many little planes around that last bit before you get to the boss.. arrgh

[pepestropajo]

Does soemeone know if there is a version of this game for PS3?

[QuakerWizard7]

9:50 looks bad

[asainmaster197]

how did u get this game?

[99gprix]

So much better than the version for Nintendo.

[Telamon8]

I remember always defeating the second boss only to run out of fuel the next level

[jaykreloaded]

1st stage,in the surface area,you need shoot the first "pow" many times,turn this in "AUTO",takes the only 3WAY in the scene,after this you take the "AUTO"....

[DuuuuuhWhaaaa]

Damn those graphics are MUCH better than on the NES.

[madmax2069]

@DuuuuuhWhaaaa of course, that arcade unit was a bit more powerful then a genesis, and capable of displaying way more colors then the NES could.

the NES used a Ricoh 2A03 (6502) 8bit CPU at 1.79 mhz, and a PPU (picture processing unit) at 5.37mhz. it had 48 colors and 5 grays, only able to use 24 colors per scan line. a bit slower then the arcade unit.

[asainmaster197]

where did u download this?

[cristianruiz1972]

Recuerdo que hay trucos para tener armas extras cuando comenzaba cada misión con tiempo maximo (60 segundos) y luego lo cambiabas por otra arma (desde shot gun hasta Laser).

[Goodguy33]

I still think it's hilarious that the Japanese made a game where you brutally defeat the Japanese navy at Midway. .What is this, community service?

[danond]

@Goodguy33 While we contemplated why they did it, they deposited our money in their bank. 1943 was a hit game.

[Cidsa2]

@Goodguy33 I also recall Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault selling really well (for an FPS) in Japan too..

[JRCitrus]

@Goodguy33 It doesn't matter that the Japanese made a game where you brutally defeat the Japanese navy at Midway. United States made Battlefield Vietnam (where you can play as Vietnamese and defeat the US) and you know what happened in the Vietnam War.

[shawn3975]

@Goodguy33 It has to be historically accurate, doesn't it? Which it is except for the date, the Battle of Midway took place in early June 1942. I don't know why the game is called 1943.

[BillxMach]

@Goodguy33 It says on the beginning that it's illegal to play the game outside of the US and Canada.

[dynamicwolf]

I love this game, although I couldn't figure out why the other planes never cast a shadow like the player's plane did.

[classicgamevideos]

phantom planes?

[ST0PM0SS]

@dynamicwolf they dont have souls, like gingers.

[Telamon8]

I remember this game

[dragons15213197]

the nes version suxxx

[Telamon8]

@dragons15213197

you think that suck, at least it has the music. The new one from the PlayStation store doesn't even have the fun-ness of the original games.

[ultradinosaur123]

3 way shot FTW

[CrazyEnzo03]

Oh man... I have the NES version of this.

I think I'll get the arcade version for MAME just because I love shmups.

[ClassicTVMan81]

Is the music heard in the Ayako stage (before you fight the Ayako itself) heard in the NES version of the game, as well as the second "visual forces commencing attack" screen tune?

[aquateen84]

Simply... awesome! This is the first arcade I ever played! Brings back memories.
