1942, 1943 and 1941 Online: Capcom's Plane Shooters for 2
1942 is the World War II plane shooter Capcom filled '80s arcades and bars with: a P-38 against waves of fighters and a loop-the-loop to dodge the bullets. Its sequels swapped lives for an energy bar and, above all, added a second plane so you could fly together. Here you play all three online with a friend, each from your own home: 1943 and 1941 in co-op and 1942 taking turns, like back then. Free and right in your browser.

FAQ
Which of the three is best to start with?
