A sequel to 1942, the game plays just about the same as its predecessor. Just control you plane shoot down enemy planes and ship etc, just like in the arcades. The 1943 tune from the arcade version is played in the beginning which is pretty good considering it's played on the beeper rather than AY.

The real downer however is the graphics which end up worse than 1942. The clear blue and white monochrone graphics on the entire game screen is a real disappointing sight considering the planes are once again very well designed. Sure 1942 was completley blue, but at least I can look at the screen and not get a headache. 1943's graphics look like we are fighting a war in the midst of a snowy blizzard!

With 1942 falling short of expectations, I was hoping that US Gold...sorry Go!...would provide a better sequel in 1943, but in the end they didn't. Shame.

I think everyone expected a better 1942 sequel, but unfortunately that was not what came out of Go!
The game is very good and in some ways even better than the first, the planes are still well designed, love the tunes, and the gameplay remains excellent, but the background becames boring and tiring after a while playing. If only this had been corrected I think it would have been a winner.

Pale and too easy sequel to 1942.

2,5/5

It's not bad really, but 1942 is a better game, plays better and looks better. I don't like the white background and everything just seems to be a breeze in comparison to the challenge a shooter presents. But still, 1943 is a lot better than most of US Gold's Capcom conversions.
