- TRIVIA -

1941 was released in February 1990 as the 7th CP-S release. It is the first Shoot'em Up to add +1 to the score when a continue is used.

Here is all the official bosses names :
* Stage 1 - Leviathan
* Stage 2 - Bismarck
* Stage 3 - V3Rocket
* Stage 4 - Krote
* Stage 5 - Leviathan
* Stage 6 - Gotha

Historical inaccuracies - V3Rocket : The real V3 was a Super Gun, not a rocket. Furthermore, 'V-weapons' would not appear until 1944.

Pony Canyon / Scitron released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Final Fight : G.S.M. Capcom 3 - PCCB-00030) on May 21, 1990.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -

* Hint : Your airplane doesn't lose energy when it collides with cliff-walls, buildings etc. Instead it will rotate a bit after such collisions. That means you can tumble up and down these obstacles (keep on colliding), and if you keep shooting, your shots will go in all directions. This way you can clear up a lot of enemies when you are under pressure (while rolling you are invincible).
