I've always wondered about that too. A Japanese company making a game about an OP American plane single-handedly wiping out the entire Japanese air force and navy? How did they even manage to sell this game?
The Arcade taught me a lot about history. This game here shows us how one intrepid P52 Mustang sank most of the Japanese Fleet at Midway. The cat laser weapon, that was classified.
The most contradictory thing about this game is that 1943 is a game created by the Japanese that exalts one of the greatest defeats of the Japanese navy in all times. This proves that in 1987, the year the game was created, the trauma of the 2nd World War had already been overcome, and, even at that time, relations between the United States and Japan were already very friendly.

Brings back good old memories of my time playing this particular game in an arcade on Westmoreland Street in Dublin, Ireland - I used to be able to complete all the levels in my lost youth.
Damn impressive bro. This is my all-time favourite arcade game, played probablly 500+ times over the years, and I can't get past wave 8 on 1 quarter, and it usually takes me $2 to kill the Yamato, I die like a dog during the final aerial stage, but you were dodging like a boss. Grats. I will have to apply what i've seen!
People are shocked that Japan antagonized themselves? I don't see why not. The country is a million times better nowadays than it was in the dark times of the 1930s and early 40s. That's like saying Germans and Italians had to like Mussolini and Hitler. Plus, only 1/36 of Japan fought in WWII. That's a lot of room for disagreement. Anyways, it is a good one. Japanese games are my favorites. :)
Japan is a lot more wishy-washy about WWII compared to Germany and Italy, to my knowledge, all Japanese kids learn about WWII in school is "We were saving everybody from the Western colonists, America got mad and nuked us, and we totally didn't kill millions of innocent people in the process". No mention of the Nanking Massacre, the Holocaust, or anything. Heck, most Japanese don't even know who the Nazis were. In fact, according to the game's designer, the studio received several complaints from Japanese conservative groups stating that the game was an affront to the souls of the soldiers who served in the war.
*It's 1987 in Japan, and a Grandpa takes his Grandson to an arcade...* Grandson: Look Grandpa, a new shooter game with planes above the sea! Grandpa: Oh god, I was a pilot in the Japanese army during WW2! This is kind of bringing back some rather negative memories! Grandson: What do you mean, Grandpa? Grandpa: Oh, nothing. Just go ahead and play it. I'll go buy us some sodas.
I may have an explanation. This game is a sequel to a game called 1942 (it sucked btw) so they decided to just call this one 1943 for the sake of it being a sequel.
My brother and I used to spend so much money in the arcade playing this game. We had cheat code too where you had to ‘enter’ before each stage, but holding the joystick at certain direction and pressing A and/or B. 😀
Your aircraft carrier gets taken out at the start? Holy @$!# that makes it ten times more heroic. I only played the NES version so where that detail wasn't added.
That's most likely because the NES version also took elements from 1943 Kai, a Japanese enhanced edition of this game. In that version, the ship doesn't sink, and it's far more similar to the Famicom counterpart than the one seen here. Also, nice fennec fox PFP :3
Little did we know that those weren't battleships, mother bombers, and bomber fleets we're attacking... They're high school girls from the game/anime called Kantai Collection. Tone Kaga Fusou Akagi Ise Hiryuu Mutsu Yamashiro Souryuu Nagato Yamato
It would actually be pretty funny to have some kind of OVA where it's some kind of "P38-Chan" fighting all of them. Question is though, is there an Ayako-Chan?
+Arichi Kun yep, not one bit. I can even imagine unnamed ships (destroyers, light cruisers and even 2 aviation cruisers escorting Ise and Yamashiro - call them Mogami and Suzuya if you will) getting crossed in the process. And that's not yet counting Hyuga and Chikuma not being in the game or Fuso not in her aviation battleship (Kai) version.
It made me remind myself playing that, course, when I was teen. I'm trying to install this game and I'm really looking forward to make that again. Congratulations GG!

The last time I went to a family reunion, there was a Harley-Davidson arcade machine and this game was part of that machine. I enjoyed playing this game a lot on that machine when I was at that family reunion.
Noticed that you know the trick about bonus points for shooting the debris from the exploding ships. Also loved how you grabbed all the hidden items. Well played!
I didn't know you could shoot the shrapnel up until recently. There's also a little spaceman that'll fly out on rare occasions that'll give you 100K points.
I would like to have a duel with you Seahawk I've beaten your score mate. It took me a while, you are the king at 1943 but I've done it: 3258740. On medium level and I got three 100Kers just like you did. Ok you played on hard level but you got the extra points when you replayed 'Mutsu'. I played it totally pure with no cheats on medium. I really want to have a face-off at Capcom HQ. All my friends say I'm the champ and it would be great to seal the deal once and for all. MAY YOU FIGHT BRAVELY!!
Weird, I was expecting a bigger number of dislikes. Dislikes being from the Boat Fuckers because this game would be, in their eyes, a Waifu Killing Spree.
Each mission is almost as accurate as the real WW2.......also, who ever selected the auto cannon is on point....... it's got a well balanced feel and does an incredibly decent amount of damage..... especially for those who want a 100%damage rating.
I never figured out what gives your ship the enemy-raping laser beam cannon. I was playing it once, and somehow i picked something up that let me fire a KILLER laser that incinerated anything it touched. Did once more after that months later, and STILL had no idea where it'd come from. Anyone know?
How do I differentiate between the screen bomb and the evasive maneuver? At first I thought it was pressing Shoot + Bomb together for the loop, but nah, it occurs totally randomly as far as I can tell.
increible habilidad aun jugando solo recuerdos de mis15 años aya por los 90 nunca pude pasar la pantalla 15 y despues de treinta años pude ver el final del juego gracias
I'm always on this I got the Capcom arcade stadium for the Xbox one bring back so many childhood memories dog.take a couple of hits from the bong ,get high and lock in for an hour
One of the greatest games of all time, I don't trust replays like this because of save states on MAME, but This is one of the greatest games of all time.
Please answer, what console or arcade machine did u use? I want to get an emulator on my computer so i can play it, and there's apparently a different version for each console. Idk which one this is, and this is the one i want. plz help i would appreciate it.
I was just playing this and I just made wave 14 :D my favorite game on the arcade machine. So close! Edit- I’ve just beaten it 3hrs later! I finished it with my sis and it was really fun :D
Eh, i have just get my first Arcade with 1943 Pcb. I look att the twin galaxy scoreboard and the Highscore is 2900000point. But this is not a officel highscore??
I played the crap out of this on the NES when I was 4-8ish years old (estimation.) It was a very difficult game. I don't remember getting past mission 8 or 9. Maybe it's my imagination, or the fact that I suck, but this version seems easier. I do not remember the health bar on the bottom left, and after checking, it's not there. When you beat mission 3 so easily, I was like WTF. That thing was never that easy to kill even with lightning. Also, you get to choose upgrades for your plane in the NES version, although I'm pretty sure even with upgrades, the NES plane had the durability of a pinata. I spent a lot of time with this game and was wondering if anybody ever beat it. Edit: After looking at other videos of the NES version, I realize that I just sucked at this game. I think one of the major issues was that lack of understanding how the energy and weapons systems worked. However, 30ish years is a long time for remembering just what my understanding was of the game at the time.
POR EL AÑO 1988 CUNDO TENIA 15 AÑOS ERA UNO DE LOS MEJORES QUE LLEGABA A LA FINAL Y LA TERMINABA. AHORA ENCONTRE EL JUEGO DESPUES DE 26 AÑOS INSTALADO EN UNA MAQUINA DE EL LUGAR DONDE VIVO, Y NO PUEDO LLEGAR AL ROUND 8
3 astromen in one playthrough! Lucky, lucky :) Seahawk, Seen the Marp 1943 kai WR? Guy gets 7 on Yamato alone. Talk about being blessed! (Or am I missing something?)
Better than NES/1988 version in my opinion. Advantages of 1988/NES version - Manual Upgrading before and during missions - Save system using Passwords/Continue - 24 Levels Disadvantages of 1988/NES version - No password for Level 24/Final Level - Low level Graphics - Slow Plane - Slow framerate due to many objects
Some background pieces of music were missing from the NES version, too, including: BGM 02 as first heard in Mission 3 The NES version also had a fake Totaku ship which, if you beat it, you are warned that the battle wasn't over yet.

This game was made in Japan and it's about an amarica plane shooting down Japanese battle ships and planes
Why does this game exist!? Is it getting the last laugh of world war 2? Processing trauma through play? Why just why, I need to know?
That's why they stopped making them in Japan after this one.
i played that game for hours everyday. The last thing it was on my AND everybodys mind was WAR!! That game was way cool
I've always wondered about that too. A Japanese company making a game about an OP American plane single-handedly wiping out the entire Japanese air force and navy? How did they even manage to sell this game?
Well the game was commercially successful and it's not hard to see why.
The Arcade taught me a lot about history. This game here shows us how one intrepid P52 Mustang sank most of the Japanese Fleet at Midway. The cat laser weapon, that was classified.
It's funny because it's called a P-51 Mustang, and that in this game the plane is a P-38 Lightning.
It is the P38 Lightning
Cocksuckers. If they would have had such a plane, my grandpa who died at Wake Island as a POW could have had a better life. Fuck theUSA
The most contradictory thing about this game is that 1943 is a game created by the Japanese that exalts one of the greatest defeats of the Japanese navy in all times.
This proves that in 1987, the year the game was created, the trauma of the 2nd World War had already been overcome, and, even at that time, relations between the United States and Japan were already very friendly.
I believe this game was different in Japan, based on a story of a Japanese ww2 testing pilot.

They did a pretty good job on the music though. Always gets me hyped up when I play the game
[Verse 1]
After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard
Like the screamin' sound of a big war bird
[Verse 2]
Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Richthofen was his name
Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
Now, they're buried together on the countryside
[Chorus]
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
[Verse 3]
In the nick of time, a hero arose
A funny-lookin' dog with a big black nose
He flew into the sky to seek revenge
But the Baron shot him down (Curses, foiled again!)
[Chorus]
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
[Verse 4]
Now, Snoopy had swore that he'd get that man
So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan
He challenged the German to a real dogfight
While the Baron was laughin', he got him in his sight
[Musical Interlude]
[Verse 5]
That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
And that Bloody Red Baron went spinnin' out of sight
[Chorus]
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
[Outro]
Well, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
over germany, isnt this the pacific?

It was the second turn I saw this game without losing , excellent !!
Wow! I have'nt been playing this game as much but the best I've ever gotten was around the 120,000's. Great Job on completing the game! =)

made in japan.
Pretty weird isn`t it?
That cruiser looks familiar in first mission. It's Myoko class cruiser. I see
I really don't get it at first as to why's there lightning when i was a kid.
The plane the player was controlling is a p38 Lockheed lightning,
Exactly!
Imagine if you could control an actual plane with a button and a joystick
You can, it's called an Airbus.
I absolutely loved this game growing up, and still do at 48
Foi o segundo que vi virar este game, sem perder, excelente, !!
Eu virava, mas so de dupla
Você sabe me dizer porque o terceiro boss Ayako não deu nenhum tiro?? É algum tipo de bug?
Weird, I was expecting a bigger number of dislikes. Dislikes being from the Boat Fuckers because this game would be, in their eyes, a Waifu Killing Spree.
You know, I wasn't the only one thinking about Kancolle until I saw your comment.
Lol fucking losers
I don't get that. There's a difference between the actual ships and Japanese cartoon characters (an*me) based off of them.
Damn the arcade looks sick, I just played the NES version but it’s very different.
Each mission is almost as accurate as the real WW2.......also, who ever selected the auto cannon is on point....... it's got a well balanced feel and does an incredibly decent amount of damage..... especially for those who want a 100%damage rating.
wow I thought I was good at this game
you're a freaking monster....
I never figured out what gives your ship the enemy-raping laser beam cannon. I was playing it once, and somehow i picked something up that let me fire a KILLER laser that incinerated anything it touched. Did once more after that months later, and STILL had no idea where it'd come from. Anyone know?
There is a cat item that randomly appears that will grant the laser.
If I remember correctly, you have to pass up three weapon upgrades and laser will appear.
You know those giant cannons on the Yamato? Don't let them hit you. They will FUCK you up. 9/15/20
How do I differentiate between the screen bomb and the evasive maneuver? At first I thought it was pressing Shoot + Bomb together for the loop, but nah, it occurs totally randomly as far as I can tell.

Are you using turbo button? do you like to play with that?
This is some Sega Genesis level quality right here.
Please answer, what console or arcade machine did u use? I want to get an emulator on my computer so i can play it, and there's apparently a different version for each console. Idk which one this is, and this is the one i want.
plz help i would appreciate it.

the good old times of game wow!
where can i get this game for pc?
dont have any idea about mame,rom or what the name is...
can anybody help me?
Nice job!! This is my favorite video game!!!! 👍
Capcom used the word "Yamato" twice: once in 1943 and once in Devil May Cry3:Dante's Awakening! Look it up!
There's also "Yamato Man".
The Yamato was a real Japanese battleship in ww2. Ps. Holy shit is that red-fire?
This game taught me about how cool world war 2 is when i was a kid
People seem to forget that there is another version of this called 1943 Kai: Midway Kaisen
Wow fantastic run well done. Not my favourite shooter due to the energy mechanic but definitely top 10.
Where can you get this game in Nintendo DS/3DS?
I personally purchased this game on PS4 network for free. It's included free with Capcom Arcade Stadium.
Looks like a Chinese game called Dawnraider I played on PC back on the early 90s
Interesting. I've never heard about that.
Emulated, or captured?
I was just playing this and I just made wave 14 :D my favorite game on the arcade machine. So close!

It's originally from Vulgus.
Sorprendente.. recuerdo en mi juventud que pasaba este juego con 1 solo credito...

Eh, i have just get my first Arcade with 1943 Pcb. I look att the twin galaxy scoreboard and the Highscore is 2900000point. But this is not a officel highscore??
100th thump up...go now for 1000.
nice high score!
A 6 engine plane can't be possible.....Plus this game was from Japan where you are an American killing Japanese pilots
What soundchip did this hardware use? It sounds very similar to the sega genesis

POR EL AÑO 1988 CUNDO TENIA 15 AÑOS ERA UNO DE LOS MEJORES QUE LLEGABA A LA FINAL Y LA TERMINABA. AHORA ENCONTRE EL JUEGO DESPUES DE 26 AÑOS INSTALADO EN UNA MAQUINA DE EL LUGAR DONDE VIVO, Y NO PUEDO LLEGAR AL ROUND 8
what arcade is this?
Que significa auto el arma que lo aporta el avion
Could never beat this game in the arcades!
Never used the trick to start a round with some weapong? for instance, laser in some stageges.
I don’t understand how the power ups work.
3 astromen in one playthrough! Lucky, lucky :)
Seahawk, Seen the Marp 1943 kai WR? Guy gets 7 on Yamato alone. Talk about being blessed!
(Or am I missing something?)
Better than NES/1988 version in my opinion.
Advantages of 1988/NES version
- Manual Upgrading before and during missions
- Save system using Passwords/Continue
- 24 Levels
Disadvantages of 1988/NES version
- No password for Level 24/Final Level
- Low level Graphics
- Slow Plane
- Slow framerate due to many objects
Some background pieces of music were missing from the NES version, too, including:
BGM 02 as first heard in Mission 3
The NES version also had a fake Totaku ship which, if you beat it, you are warned that the battle wasn't over yet.
on NES this game was the shit with the NES Advantage
We can i get this game
