Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter EggsA little known trick in the game is to hold down the fire A button at the very end of a board immediately after beating the boss. By holding down the button until the plane takes off in the subsequent board, the game gives you a full ammunition load 65 Seconds This trick only works every third board or so and it may even change your selected weapon.PA good solution if you want to do a big score In each boss level, kill all the ennemies exept the boss. If you do not kill the boss you will start back at the beginning of the level. This trick works only one time for each level boss, but in the last level, round 16, if you never kill the boss you will continue to start back at the beginning every time. It is theoretically possible to score an infinite amount of pointsGame PlayPressing both buttons simultaneously causes the player's ship to loop out of the 2-D action plane temporarily. This is very useful for getting behind enemy planes. Pressing Special calls up a special attack lightning in the air, a wave over water, but also uses up the player's energy. The game is over when the player runs out of energy, but energy can be replenished via power-ups or for completing a level. Likewise, in two-player mode, players can share life energy by placing both planes over each other for two seconds.MiscellaneousHigh scores are not saved when powered down.VAPS Arcade/Coin-Op 1943: The Battle Of Midway CensusThere are 12,125 members of the Video Arcade Preservation Society / Vintage Arcade Preservation Society, 9,619 whom participate in our arcade census project of games owned, wanted, or for sale.
