Take off from a carrier
in the fateful year of 1942 and island-hop through 32 increasingly daunting
levels, culminating in aerial
combat over Tokyo. Game play in this overhead shooter is simple:
blast enemies, snag power-ups
and avoid collisions before re-landing on your flattop.
One power-up will reward
you with two wing buddies who shoot in unison with you. All together, now!
If you mow down planes in
a formation, you'll receive one of six different power-ups, beginning with
the
double machine gun. Another
power-up will obliterate all on-screen enemies.
As you advance on Tokyo,
you'll be faced with bigger and badder swarms of enemy craft. Evade
troublemakers by pressing
the A Button to loop. It's best to avoid ambushes by staying near the
screen's center.
Two can play 1942 by alternating
turns. You can print out top scores with the Game Boy Printer.
1942 is backwards compatible
with all pre-existing Game Boy units. The game is scheduled to be in
stores by the end of April
2000. |
