Okay, FWIW, here's my writeup on 1943:
1943
Wow, another vertical shooter review? Well, I can't help it, I didn't feel like writing about the rest of the games on the menu!
Anyway the problem now is, what to write for such a popular title that isn't known to people? The second problem is, since I haven't played the arcade version too much, I can't compare it and see if it's a good conversion! It's a good ST game, I know so much. It runs at a constant 50fps even with lots of stuff happening on screen, so the action is fast and frantic, as it should be. You can choose the powerups you get while they're floating on the screen, so if you're low on energy you can shoot the powerup to convert it to POW and then pick it up.
The graphics and sound serve their purpose fine, with the small exception of the sea pattern which I really don't like and makes the whole game seem a bit crap.
Minor things aside, this is a great game for the ST.
