1942 (Revision A)

What is 1942 (Revision A)?

Fueled more by nostalgia than anything else, "1942 (Revision A)" takes one back to the era of arcade shoot-'em-ups, where pixelated planes dogfight with waves of enemies over a chaotic battlefield full of exhilarations. It is the Revised A version of the original released in the early 1980s and thus retains all the adrenaline-pumping action but includes better gameplay mechanics and some enhancement in graphics. The whole ambiance is one attractive notion of flying through World War II skies, guns blazing, while constantly pondering your next move.

How to Play

Simple controls demand precision of execution. Moving the fighter plane with a joystick and shooting the enemy aircraft with a fire button are the very basics of the game. The next thing a player would need to do is to cast his hurdling spirit onto how long he can survive and inflict more harm on enemy planes. The difficulty increases with time; there are greater numbers of foes and heavier bosses to deal with. The game is sectioned into levels, with each level fitted with unique landscapes and enemy settings, which makes each playthrough feel very fulfilling and demanding.

Tips and Tricks

• Be Unpredictable: Practice making sudden sharp turns and take use of the terrain to evade enemy fire.
• Choose Targets: Destroy pain-giving enemy planes, especially those with multiple guns or flying in groups that pose more serious threats.
• Power-Ups: Watch for power-ups to boost your firepower or cause invincibility at the right time when you're battling against tough odds.
• Poketlearn Enemies: Each enemy has its own move set. Study it and it'll help you avoid damage.
