Gameplay

1942

1942 is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up, originally released in 1984, and the first game in the 194X series. It is set in the Pacific Theater of World War II. The game was designed to appeal to Western audiences, so despite being created by Japanese developers, the player commands an American P-38 Lightning, dubbed the "Super Ace," and must travel from Midway to Tokyo to destroy the Japanese air fleet. The player must shoot down enemy planes and avoid enemy fire through 32 stages, which take place primarily over the Pacific Ocean and islands and end by landing on an aircraft carrier. There is a two-player mode where players take turns.

The plane moves in any direction using the D-Pad. It shoots with A or C, which can be held for continuous fire. There are two rapid-fire buttons that shoot faster, L (low speed) or R (high speed). The plane's weapon can be upgraded once to fire a wider shot, and the player can obtain two smaller escort fighters that supplement its fire with their own. The plane can perform an evasive roll with B that causes it quickly loop out of the playfield, which can be used to avoid enemy fire or to fly over enemy planes. This can only be done a maximum of three times per stage.

The plane is downed if it takes a single hit from enemy fire or collides with another aircraft, which costs a life. The plane respawns at a checkpoint without any acquired power-ups. Extends are given at 20,000 and 80,000 points, then every 80,000 points after that. The game ends if the player runs out of lives. In addition to the high score, the game also keeps track of the ratio of enemy fighters shot down. Players are awarded bonus points for finishing the stage with a higher ratio and for unused rolls.

There are four difficulty levels, and the player can change the points thresholds for earning extra lives or toggle continues. Since the original game uses a vertical aspect ratio, there are three screen modes: Type 1 interpolates the image to fit into the height of the Saturn's video mode, Type 2 (the default) crops the playfield to fit the screen, and Type 3 preserves the vertical aspect ratio (but requires the player to rotate the monitor).

1943

1943 is first follow-up to 1942, originally released in 1987. Like its predecessor, it is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up set in the Pacific Theater of World War II, off the coast of the Midway Atoll. The game adds a more sophisticated power-up system and simultaneous two-player play. The player assumes the role of a U.S. Navy pilot, again flying a P-38 Lightning, and battles Imperial Japanese naval aerial forces, culminating in a final fight against the battleship Yamato. The game supports one or two players simultaneously, and a second player can join a game in progress by pressing  START  on a second control pad.

There are two types of stage, aerial and naval. Every round starts high in the sky, above the clouds, fighting solely aerial enemies. If the mission target is a squadron of multiple strategic bombers or a single heavy bomber, the round ends after this first stage. Otherwise, if the mission target is a battleship or an aircraft carrier, the plane descends and continues the battle in a second stage, lower and close to the ocean, against a mix of enemy aircraft and naval vessels. In the maritime battles, the player must destroy the mission target with at least a 70% destruction rate, or else the stage is repeated again. If the player fails to attain a 70% destruction rate on the second attempt, the mission is failed and the player moves on to the next round.

The plane moves in any direction using the D-Pad. It shoots with A or C, which can be held for continuous fire. There are two rapid-fire buttons that shoot faster, L (low speed) or R (high speed). The plane's weapon can be upgraded to any of six different special weapons by collecting power-ups, though these enhanced effects only last a limited time unless another power-up is picked up. The plane can fly around in a loop with B, which is an evasive maneuver that can be used to escape dangerous situations. This can only be done two times per round.

The plane has a fuel gauge, which slowly drains during gameplay, replacing the life system of the previous game. Getting hit by enemies also reduces the gauge, and the plane is destroyed, ending the game, if it is hit when the gauge is empty. Power-ups can be collected that refuel the plane. The plane has a special "Mega Crash" attack that destroys every enemy on the screen at once with X, but this costs fuel to use. There are three different Mega Crash attacks, depending on the type of stage. Players are awarded bonus points for finishing the round with more fuel remaining and for unused rolls and have some fuel replenished. The maximum fuel capacity increases every three rounds completed.

There are eight difficulty levels, and the player can toggle continues (but the last round cannot be continued). Since the original game uses a vertical aspect ratio, there are three screen modes: Type 1 interpolates the image to fit into the height of the Saturn's video mode, Type 2 (the default) crops the playfield to fit the screen, and Type 3 preserves the vertical aspect ratio (but requires the player to rotate the monitor).

Mega Crash

Mega Crash abilities cost fuel to use. The ability used depends on the stage and the circumstances.

1943 Saturn, Mega Crash, Lightning.png

Lightning (稲妻)

1943 Saturn, Mega Crash, Tsunami.png

Tsunami (津波)
Summons a giant ocean wave that destroys small enemy aircraft, damages ships, and neutralizes enemy projectiles. It also pauses the screen scrolling until the waves subside. This ability is used during the stages with naval enemies.

1943 Saturn, Mega Crash, Cyclone.png

Kamaitachi (カマイタチ)
Causes the sky to flash, which neutralizes enemy projectiles and suppresses enemy fire for a duration. This ability is automatically used on either aerial or naval stages instead of the other abilities when an enemy projectile is close to the plane.

1943 Kai

1943 Kai was a revised version of 1943, originally released in 1987. It is largely identical to 1943 but has revised graphics, including substituting the series' iconic twin-boom Lockheed P-38 Lightning for a Boeing Stearman E75 biplane. Some of the special weapons have been reworked, the difficulty has been increased, the soundtrack has been redone, and the number of stages has been reduced to ten. The game supports one or two players simultaneously, and a second player can join a game in progress by pressing  START  on a second control pad.

As before, there are two types of stage: those that take place high in the sky, above the clouds, against solely aerial enemies, and those that take place lower and close to the ocean, against a mix of enemy aircraft and naval vessels. Each round ends with a fight against a formidable mission target: a massive bomber in the aerial missions or a heavily armed battleship in the maritime missions. In either case, the player must destroy the mission target with at least a 70% destruction rate, or else the stage is repeated again. If the player fails to attain a 70% destruction rate on the second attempt, the mission is failed and the player moves on to the next round.

The plane moves in any direction using the D-Pad. It shoots with A or C, which can be held for continuous fire. There are two rapid-fire buttons that shoot faster, L (low speed) or R (high speed). The plane's weapon can be upgraded to any of six different special weapons by collecting power-ups, though these enhanced effects only last a limited time unless another power-up is picked up. The plane can fly around in a loop with B, which is an evasive maneuver that can be used to escape dangerous situations. This can only be done two times per round.

The plane has a fuel gauge, which slowly drains during gameplay, replacing the life system of the previous game. Getting hit by enemies also reduces the gauge, and the plane is destroyed, ending the game, if it is hit when the gauge is empty. Power-ups can be collected that refuel the plane. The plane has a special "Mega Crash" attack that destroys every enemy on the screen at once with X, but this costs fuel to use. There are three different Mega Crash attacks, depending on the type of stage. Players are awarded bonus points for finishing the round with more fuel remaining and for unused rolls and have some fuel replenished. The maximum fuel capacity increases every three rounds completed.

There are eight difficulty levels, and the player can toggle continues (but the last round cannot be continued). Since the original game uses a vertical aspect ratio, there are three screen modes: Type 1 interpolates the image to fit into the height of the Saturn's video mode, Type 2 (the default) crops the playfield to fit the screen, and Type 3 preserves the vertical aspect ratio (but requires the player to rotate the monitor).

Mega Crash abilities cost fuel to use. The ability used depends on the stage and the circumstances.
