Capcom's
classic shooting game series owes a lot of its fame to its distinctive 'Pacific Theatre of Operations' setting,
yet most of the praise should go to its
hectic and relentless style of play. Having
started off well with 1942
(1984), the series went stellar following its groundbreaking sequel 1943
(1987).
Although basic in design, 1943
was full of depth, secrets and clever touches. Its speedy, precise and rhythmic style of
play left a massive mark - in many ways it could be considered as one of the pioneers
of the 'Manic Shooting' genre that is so
prevalent today.
In fact it inspired a entire sub-genre, with a host of different developers
paying tribute by both copying and improving on the
recipe: Raiden
(1990), Strikers
1945 (1995) and Battle
Garegga (1996) all owe a massive debt.
To date only six games have been released in the
series. The first three releases were
beautifully compiled in the first volume of the Capcom
Generation collection in 1998.
The fourth game, 1941 Counter
Attack (1990), was only available on the PC Engine
Supergrafx until recently, when it re-appeared in
Capcom Classics Collection Vol.2 (2006),
a PS2 and Xbox compilation that for some reason didn't get
a Japanese release.
The last two entries, the excellent 19XX
(1996) and the under-rated 8ing / Raizing co-operation
1944 (2000) remain
arcade-only to this day. |
