| Description 1942... you and daring fighter pilot "Super Ace" are engaged in realistic, thrilling and challenging high-flying battles with the enemy. Over land, on the sea and in the air, your own skill and dexterity... combined with Super Ace's flying mastery, duel enemy pilots in fighter and bomber craft. 1942... it's airplanes taking off and landing on ocean-going aircraft carriers... disrupting enemy formations ready to attack... intercepting enemy air-warriors you must defeat by "blasting 'em out of the sky." Will it be victory? Or defeat? It's in your skillful hands! Gameplay The game features a one or two player mode but two player cannot be played simultaneously, each player takes turns and receives a seperate score. A player starts with three planes or "lives" and additional planes can be earned at the 20,000 point mark, 80,000 point mark, and for each additional 80,000 points. 1942 has a vertically scrolling overview which was typical of shooters during the time it was released. The player could move freely left and right but had limited movement forward and back because the scrolling moves at a standard pace at all times. The object of the game is to shoot down enemy planes using the games unlimited ammo and moving using the directional pad or using the roll ability to avoid enemy fire, roll can only be used three times per plane.
