DazzleHP Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 We present to you a bonus game this month: 1943!This is one of the classic shoot 'em ups from a great period in the arcade universe. It's a personal fave of mine from my childhood and in all honesty it is probably the shmup that made me the fan i am today. My cousin, my Dad and my brother and I would pump this machine till it was overflowing back in the day. I hope you guys find it even a tiny a bit as enjoyable as the fond memories i have of it. Good luck!~DazPS: i tried it earlier, and yup i suck! lol 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mame Offender Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Oh yeah!! What a solid vertical scrolling shooter this one is!! I will be up there on this one, because I have often been able to get to the 15th on one credit. When I get back to my X Arcade machine in Saskatoon, I will have to have a couple of runs at 'ol 1943. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExedExes Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 1943. I've been out of practice on this one. I much rather prefer (and do better at) the Japan-only 1943 Kai.Sounds like ol' M.O. will have this one beat in no time!ExedExes - 350,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mame Offender Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Well guys, I hate to disappoint, but it looks like a 14 board run isn't coming any time soon! I gave er a few runs last night and I kept dying on the 4th level. I will most definitely be giving her another go tonight to see if I can get past that fourth.Actually, I found that the fourth is pretty tough. The 5th and 6th are not difficult, the 7th is tough, then the 8th and 9th are pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mame Offender Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Gimme, a tip to help your score a bit:Upon destroying the battleship(when it starts to burn) have 3 way fire or machine gun and shoot your fastest at the 4 pieces of shrapnel that project from the centre of the ship. You get 10k a piece and 100k if you are good enough to hit all four pieces of metal. Always keep your eyes peeled for hidden gems. They are usually located either left or right of the screen and submerged in clouds. Another common spot is directly above the battleships before you swoop down closer to them. To get you started, there is a cow located on the left side in some clouds about 2/3 to 3/4 through the first board and it gets you a cool 20k.On the second board shoot the right side highest battleship as there is a hidden strawberry there. Act fast though, if you drag your feet on picking it up, you will miss out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
