5.0 out of 5 stars Best Of It's Type!, May 25, 2000

By A Customer

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: 1942 (Game Cartridge)

Its the best of the "shoot 'em up" games. Its one of the best gbc (originaly for nes) games i've ever played! Practicly just because of the power-ups, such as loop-the-loop, allys, air space, (destroys all enimeys on screen when crossed) and others. To make it even better, youl have 32 missions. If you would like to see how hard it will be and how hard you should practice, type in plane, plane, bomb, plane in the password screen. Buy this game right now!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but WAY too easy, December 31, 2000

Fred - See all my reviews

This review is from: 1942 (Game Cartridge)

When I opened the package and put it into my gameboy color I thought to myself, WOW! now I have a really good game. Of course this was the first game I got. It has pretty good graphics, but the problem is that it dosn't have a point. It is a top to bottem scroling game, where you have to shoot the ememys that come onto your screen. you have one wepon, the machine gun, but they shouldn't call it that because if you hold the fire button down it shoots a little faster than once per second. The only other move you can do is a loop, it will help you dodge one or two enemys at a time, but you can only use the loop 3 times per level. every 2-4 levels there is a boss, a huge bomer, he will shoot 5 bullets at a time at you. I beat this game in about 3 days, and I thought it was to easy, and the ending really [was not very good].

I recomend this game to people who like pointless shoot-em-up games that are easy to beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this game back in the Arcade, December 1, 1999

I loved this game when I played it in the arcade all those 8-9 years ago. I love the game while i play it with MAME and the 1942 ROM. And, next to GTA, it's *the* game I have been waiting for since I found out it was coming out.

If the Game Boy version sticks to the original concept, this game will appeal to most anyone. Think Space Invaders, but much more involved.
