| Description The most crucial and decisive battle of World War II is about to be fought... by you! Enemy forces are descending upon Midway Island. Enemy bombers, dive bombers, and zeroes are roaring over the island like a typhoon. The surrounding Pacific waters are teeming with enemy aircraft carriers. As the top gun of the Navy's most elite crew of fighter pilots, you must pilot your specially-outfitted P-38 into the very midst of the enemy squadron. Equipped with an array of secret weapons, only you can turn the tide against the formidable enemy fleet. The outcome of history's most fateful air/sea battle rests in your hands! Can you avenge Pearl Harbor? Gameplay This game like it's predacessor 1942, is set during World War II and the main goal is to take down the Japanese Air Fleet and sea forces through all 16 levels to finally reach the Japanese battleship Yamato and destroy it. Only two buttons are used, one to control regular attacks and the other to perform loops or special attacks. Unlike in 1942, the player only has one life, but this one life comes with a refillable energy meter. Gameplay ends when the energy meter is depleted. Many power-ups and special weapons can be obtained throughout the game. One such and the most common is the POW icon which will appear when the player destroys a complete group of red enemy planes and this icon will replenish part of the energy meter if it is collected or turn into a variety of weapon power-ups if the icon is shot. Other power-ups include the rare "Yashichi" symbol which will replenish the entire energy meter, a plane symbol which provides reinforcements, a star shaped score bonus, and a bonus invisible item located in each level that can be revealed when it is shot.
