Comments for 1942 by Elite Systems Ltd - Amstrad CPC/GX4000
Synopsis:
It is 1942, and war is raging in the Pacific. The enemy's fleet and airforce are growing in strength. It is up to you to restrict their numbers in a daring solo mission. Your carrier will take you as far as it dares, but from then on you are on your own. Fly your plane over enemy territory and installations, scattered islands and rough terrain. Smart manoeuvring and skillful aerobatics are required to outwit the enemy planes; recovering the mystery POWer capsules will give your plane extra capabilities. Be prepared - enemy gunners have their sights set on you, and their pilots are prepared to die to thwart your mission. The carrier awaits your safe return - but have you the skill to survive?!

"The original of the Capcom series of games (1942/1943), which has you going around shooting the enermy - which has inspired further games like Flying Shark, Arcade Flight Sim, Slapfighter & Sonic Boom. All to me seem very good. Graphically it not quite 1943, still seems to play well & has me hooked."

"Not the conversion I had hoped for.... the slow speed is a major let down for me. Could have been soooo much better."

"Ooh this is lovely! It doesn`t look that good, and it doesn`t play that great, but somehow it managed to captured the imagination back then and transport you to the arcade world... Has aged quite a bit, tho. A lovely intro tune., too."
