1943: The Battle of Midway Game Sample - Arcade
121943 is the second game in the "19XX" series and just like 1942, 1943 would get numerous ports, including an "alternate" version of the game, which many refer to as "1943: Kai" (though it is also known as 1943 Kai: Midway Kaisen). 1943K is a version of 1943 where the graphics and sounds were reworked and the PC Engine version has additional levels and original music. To share the general premise of this game, I will post some info from Wikipedia below:
"The game is set in the Pacific theater of World War II, off the coast of the Midway Atoll. The goal is to attack the Japanese air fleet that bombed the American aircraft carrier, pursue all Japanese air and sea forces, fly through the 16 stages of play, and make their way to the Japanese battleship Yamato and destroy her. 11 of these stages consist of an air-to-sea battle (with a huge battleship or an aircraft carrier as the stage boss), while 5 stages consist of an all-aerial battle against a squadron of Japanese bombers with a mother bomber at the end.
As in 1942, players pilot a P-38 Lightning. Controls are also similar: button 1 fires main weapons, and button 2 performs two special actions: a loop maneuver like in 1942, or one of three special lightning attacks in exchange for some of the player's fuel. Indeed, players now have only one life, in the form of a large "fuel" meter; constantly depleting, but refillable by collecting various powerups (chiefly "Pow" icons). In 2-player mode, when both players overlap their planes on screen, the energy bar can be transferred from the player with more fuel to the player with less. Destroying a complete formation of red enemy planes will result in a power-up, such as a health boost or a new main weapon."
Generally speaking, 1943 is a pretty cool game in every aspect, and a quality game, especially for 1987!
