ABOUT THE GAME

1943: The Battle of Midway is a 1987 vertically scrolling shooter video game developed and published by Capcom for arcades. It was the first follow-up to Capcom's earlier 1942. Like 1942, the player controls Americans attacking the Japanese air fleet; this was due to being one of the first Capcom games designed with Western markets in mind. The game's name is a reference to the Battle of Midway, which occurred in June 1942.
