NES - 1942

Ahhh....1942, one of the greatest NES games to be released. This is one of those games that you can play over and over again trying desperately to beat your last high score. I truly enjoy playing this game and so here it is 1942.

This game is pretty straight forward; you command a 1942 fighter and pretty much destroy everything. Our mysterious fighter pilot takes on the whole Japanese army by himself and with a little luck and some terrible aiming on the enemies' part, he will be victorious.

Right from the start this game is all action. There are lots of enemy planes to destroy who couldn’t hit water if they jumped off a boat, and lots of bullets coming from all directions. Your key is to keep moving and constantly hit the fire button, if things are getting to hot hit your roll button. All the levels are pretty much the same the only difference is the background and it seems the enemies do in fact get tougher as the game progresses.

All in all I enjoy playing this game although some more variety in the types of enemies would have been nice. The graphics were pretty good for NES and I still am trying to beat my high score.

I rate this game 25.
Good, enjoyable but could have been better.
