Synopsis

The game takes place in the Pacific theater of World War II, off the coast of Midway Atoll. The goal is to attack the Japanese air fleet that bombed the players' American aircraft carrier, pursue all Japanese air and sea forces, fly through the 16 game levels, head towards the Japanese battleship Yamato and destroy it. 11 levels consist of an air-sea battle (with a huge battleship or aircraft carrier as the final level boss), while 5 levels consist of an entirely air battle against a squadron of Japanese bombers and a mother bomber that must be destroyed.

As in 1942, players pilot a P-38. Two buttons are used: one for regular attacks (with multiple weapons) and one for special actions which execute either a loop like in 1942 or one of three special attacks which damage the plane. Unlike 1942, the player only has one life, with a single rechargeable energy meter. Destroying a full formation of red enemy planes will result in a power-up, such as a health boost or a temporary special weapon that replaces the default twin cannon.
