1942

A classic arcade game converted to the NES, 1942 is one of the best side-shooter games ever, and one of the best Capcom games as well. 1942 set the bar higher for side-shooter games, and not many games were quite as good as this, which is why so many people are still playing it today.

Kevin's Review

Graphics: *** 1/2

Being a generally old game, (the arcade version was made in 1982, and the NES version was made in 1986) 1942 had mildly impressive graphics for its time.

Music: **

Cool music+eternally looped= Make it stop. The drums and the beeps are cool at first, but over and over again? And the sound effects make it even more annoying.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gameplay:****

Really fun, but I just can't help comparing it to its predecessor, 1943: The Battle Of Midway

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall:*** 1/2

Want to play a classic side-scrolling game? This one should be near the top of your list.

Worth Playing? Yes, but if you have the choice, play 1943 instead
