GUESS 1942 FROM SCREENSHOTS

1942 cover

Capcom's vertical shooter sends a lone P-38 Lightning over the Pacific in a relentless World War II air campaign. Weaving through bullet streams and enemy squadrons, players can pull a signature loop-the-loop to dodge certain death. Its 32-stage push toward Tokyo made it one of the defining arcade shoot 'em ups of the mid-80s.
