Title
Great vertical scrolling shooter
I'll admit that I'm not an expert in scrolling shooters. 1943 has everything that I'd want in one though. Fast paced action, a catchy soundtrack, flashy animations (especially for the time), challenge, boss fights, power ups, and a decent checkpoint system. I played it on the NES, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's an arcade cabinet version too. One of the best aged NES games for sure.

    A huge improvement over 1942. Very challenging.
