1941: Counter Attack (Arcade) - 1 Credit Challenge
2In this video, I'm doing a 1 Credit Challenge of a game that is the prequel to 1942, and the third game in the 19XX series. That game is: 1941 - Counter Attack for the Arcade. This game was developed and published by Capcom, it was released in 1990. The game was ported to the SuperGrafx in 1991 and to GameTap. It was followed by 19XX: The War Against Destiny in 1996. This game can also be found on Capcom Classics Collection Remixed for the PlayStation Portable and Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2 for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. In February 2021, it was re-released in pack 2 of the Capcom Arcade Stadium compilation for Nintendo Switch. 1941: Counter Attack is a vertical scrolling shooter game. The goal is to shoot down enemy airplanes and collect weapon power-ups (POW). The game uses a vitality system instead of life system in which if the player is hit, it loses one point of vitality and the player is destroyed if hit with 0 vitality then the player is given the option to continue. Lightning attacks can be used by pressing the B button which sacrifices a portion of life energy. Three loops can be performed per level and a bonus is awarded at the end of the level for unused loops. Player 1 uses a P-38 Lightning and Player 2 uses a new plane: DH.98 Mosquito. The game shifts from the original Pacific Front setting with that of the Western Front, in the north Atlantic Ocean. For this video, I'm using the 1941 rom, which is 1941: Counter Attack (World 900227) version. About my run on 1941: Counter Attack: I think I did pretty good for the first time playing this game, because I got to the second mission boss on 1 credit. Although I got defeated by that second boss, but I'm very happy with the end result I have scored. Overall, 1941: Counter Attack is a very fun vertical scrolling shooter from Capcom. If you haven't played this game before? Then I highly recommend to give this one a try. At a later time, I'll be checking out 19XX: The War Against Destiny in the near future. I hope you enjoy this 1 Credit Challenge video of 1941: Counter Attack for the Arcade and thanks for watching!
