       1942, 1943, 1941, 14xx is a series of vertical shooters by Capcom, released in 1984, 1987, 1990, and 1995.Spanning 11 years across 4 arcade boards – the Zilog Z80-based Capcom Z80 / Capcom Commando, and the Motorola 68000-based CPS-1 / CPS-2  – they illustrate the evolution of the underlying hardware quite nicely.And even if 1942 and 1943 don't look much different, the latter sounds much better.It's also curious how, being japanese games, the enemy is Japan.#retrogaming #history #arcade

       The series had an additional title released in the 20th century: "1944: The Loop Master" (2000).It's still on Capcom's CPS-2 hardware, but was no longer developed by Capcom. Also, it no longer uses a vertical aspect ratio, although it's still a vertical shooter.It's quite nice. 💯#retrogaming #arcade
