	X-E - The Worst Nintendo Game Endings...Ever!
		It makes you think that the game makers felt no one would actually beat the game, so there was no reason to put any work into a big fun ending celebration.
		The game was impossible, made no sense, and was all-around just an abomination as far as video gaming went.
		Sure, you were almost never killed because you made a mistake...only if there were so many enemies on the screen at once that it'd be impossible to kill them all before they touched you with their acid hands of doom.

		1942 is a vertical shooter similar to the very popular Turjah, but instead of flying a high-tech space ship and shooting aliens and meteors, you’ll be piloting a vintage warplane blasting enemy warplanes to kingdom come.
		As the title of the game would suggest, the setting of the game is during the World War II era - you are an Allied group pilot whose mission is to fly from one aircraft carrier to another, blasting as many Axis aircrafts along the way.
		Also I noticed that the game doesn’t really go full screen; as you can see from the screen shots, there is a noticeable “fl” border along the bottom and sides of the screen, and there’s also sometimes a white bar present at the bottom of the screen.

	Classic Review Archive - 1942
		A translation of the popular arcade game, 1942 was good for it's time.
		However, there have been many good overhead shooters released for the NES since then, and 1942 falls by the wayside, even when compared to some of the games that came out just a year later.
		1942 could have been much more than it was - the arcade game deserved better treatment then this conversion.

	NES in the Arcade - Playchoice 10, Vs. Unisystem, Vs. Dualsystem
		The Vs. System arcade machines are single unit game machines, with a modified version of the NES game the game being modified into a real arcade game.
		These games are different from their NES or Playchoice counterparts, in that the games are ported over into real arcade games, and they play just like any other arcade games.
		And unlike the Playchoice games, there is no timer that decides how long you play, in these games you play effects how long you can play etc. Therefore, these games differ a fair amount from the original NES games (though are still roughly the same in terms of the game itself).

	1942 (arcade game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite the game being created by Japanese people, the goal is to reach Tokyo and destroy the entire Japanese air fleet.
		Although not the first game to receive a sequel (with Pirate Ship Higemaru receiving a Japan-only console semi-sequel, Higemaru Makaijima, in April 1987), 1942 was the first Capcom title to spawn a successful series of sequels, with five titles in the 19XX line released from 1987 to 2000.
		The Nintendo Entertainment System port of 1942 was released at Nintendo's behest on the Game Boy Advance as part of the NES Classics series (Famicom Mini in Japan).

		1942 was and is still one of my favorite shooters to ever having had the pleasure to play.
		Whether it was in the arcade or on the early consoles, 1942 was just plain fun and addictive.
		It is thanks to games like 1942 during the mid to late 80's that we have humongous bosses at the end of stage levels in every type of game now; whether, they may be shooters themselves or rpgs.

	GameSpy.com - E3 2002 Coverage
		For those of you just tuning in, Battlefield: 1942 is the spiritual sequel to Codename: Eagle, with many of the original developers on board.
		Although the original game's single-player was nothing particuarly spectacular, the multiplayer was a revelation -- on-foot action mixed with fairly easy-to-control planes, tanks, jeeps and other vehicles.
		There's no question that Battlefield: 1942 has the potential to be one of the biggest multiplayer games of the year -- it's just a matter of whether the team can get all the bugs out, the gameplay balanced and network code smooth, and it seems they're well on their way to doing that.

		With the release of Battlefield the player was presented with an unprecedented amount of choices in the way in which they could now interact with the game’s world.
		As successful as this game is and was — there were many facets of the games gameplay that were cut throughout the course of development.
		In the end the team spent almost a year cutting various ideas from the game both on paper and in code to bring the project in on time.

		The game has its own in-game matchmaking system (GameSpy Arcade, GameSpy 3D and a number of other utilities are also supported), and joining a game is as easy as refreshing a server list and clicking.
		Of course, no WWII game would be complete without a version of Omaha Beach, and there are also recreations of Stalingrad, Berlin and the Battle of the Bulge.
		Once in a game, you'll have the option of picking a spawn point (you can choose any point that your team currently controls, and many maps have a base location for each side), and one of five "troop kits" for your soldier.

		So it was the summer of 85 and America was in the middle of the Arcade fever that had sprung up 5 or 6 years earlier and I was enthralled with a game called 1942.

	CNN.com - Review: 'Jade Empire' a nearly flawless jewel of a game - May 9, 2005
		This ambitious title is not only one of the best games of 2005, but also ranks as one of the finest Xbox games to date.
		As in most role-playing games, you lead your character and other nonplayer characters to explore dangerous lands, use all kinds of swords and sorcery to defeat enemies, accomplish primary and secondary missions, open treasure chests and barrels to find coins (used to buy new equipment) and "level up" to grow stronger in various areas.
		Despite the game's epic story and serious fighting sequences, the developers have added some levity such as a farmer who begs you to find his beloved "Fen the Flower," who was taken by bandits.

	IGN: 1942 Review
		Unfortunately, the game maker's old-school arcade shooter 1942 was enlisted for duty.
		It's just my disappointment with this mobile conversion, an arcade port that lacks the action and thrills that are typically synonymous with the 1942 name.
		Now, I know that mobile cannot 100% recreate an arcade game, but this is one of those ports that just loses a lot in the translation.

	IGN: 1942 Preview
		Questionable setting aside, 1942 was one of the most enjoyable action games in the arcade during the early 80s.
		The game wasn't exactly a technical marvel, but it was pure, hand-eye coordination action from start to finish.
		The version we received from Capcom was still on the early side, but we can tell that the game will have password save as well as a two-player alternating mode — meaning when one dies, he hands it over to the other person.

		One such ability is called "Focus", which is similar to the "Bullet Time" feature of games like Enter the Matrix and Max Payne 2, except that your character continues to move at regular speed while your enemies are brought to a crawl.
		This adds some interesting depth to the game and we look forward to seeing some of the gem combinations players will be able to come up with for their character.
		The mini-game, which I honestly thought was a joke when I first saw it, looks very similar to the old 1942 arcade game where you controlled a powerful airplane that fired bullets at other enemy aircraft that would fly on to the screen.

		Improving your character's spirit can be especially helpful because it's tied to his or her Chi, an important, but limited, resource used to heal your character during battle or to unleash a power strike on an enemy.
		The story, which is fleshed out well with dozens of interesting characters, intertwining plots and tens of thousands of lines of dialogue, revolves around your character as a 20-year-old orphan and student at the Twin Rivers training academy.

		Pong might be overdone, but is also one of the simplest games and would make a good starting point when explaining about placing graphics on the screen, moving them, checking for collisions and keeping score.
		I would suggest including a game that scrolls the screen horizontally (such as Defender or Zaxxon), another that scrolls it vertically (like 1941 or Commando) and something text based, like an adventure or CRPG.
		I don't know if its an arcade game but I used to play Bubble Bobble when I was a kid.
