1942 Arcade Game

Here is a 1942 arcade game for sale. Destroy the Japanese air fleet in this vertical scrolling shooter game. Made by Capcom in 1984, it was the first game in the 19XX series. Set in the South Pacific, the goal of the game is to make your way through the oncoming Japanese fleet, destroying their planes and avoiding enemy fire.

Use a back-roll maneuver to avoid any enemy fire, and collect power-ups in the form of two additional fighters flying beside the main plane. Make it all the way to Tokyo and get the Imperial Japanese Army to surrender!

The following is from the Arcade Museum:

Control a WWII-style plane over 32 vertically scrolling sea and landscapes. Shoot various types of enemy planes. Collect a variety of weapon power-ups.

Capcom released 228 different machines in our database under this trade name, starting in 1984.

*Please note: 1942 was created as a conversion kit originally, so there is not an original cabinet for this specific game. We would use a generic arcade cabinet from the same era to build your specific game*

*all games that are sold are refurbished and optimized before customers receive the final game. please allow a few months after purchase so our highly skilled technicians thoroughly go over your game. thank you!*
