MetalSmasherGaming | Sunday Longplay - 1942 (Arcade) @MetalSmasherGaming | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
This week on Sunday Longplay, I'm playing another classic arcade shoot-em-up and a prequel to an NES game I previously played for this series! Welcome to the Arcade version of 1942!
1942 is set in the Pacific Theater of World War II, and is loosely based on the Battle of Midway. Despite the game being created by Japanese developers, the goal is to reach Tokyo and destroy the Japanese air fleet; this was due to being the first Capcom game designed with Western markets in mind. It went on to be a commercial success in arcades, becoming Japan's fifth highest-grossing table arcade game of 1986 and one of top five highest-grossing arcade conversion kits that year in the United States. It was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System, selling over 1 million copies worldwide, along with other home systems.
1942 was the first Capcom title to spawn a successful series of sequels, with five titles in the 194X line released from 1987 to 2000 (one of which was 1943: The Battle of Midway, which I previously played the NES version of on my channel). Many of Capcom's other vertical shooters featured very similar gameplay, such as Varth: Operation Thunderstorm.
