Yes it was, and so was 1943.

Twistin'Ghost · 09 August 2002, 07:58

1942 was not released on the Amiga. Battlehawks 1942, yes, but 1942 no.

alkis21 · 09 August 2002, 08:17

But.. but.. I used to play it in the 80s.. or didn't I???

Shatterhand · 09 August 2002, 08:46

Maybe for the C64? The C64 has a nice version of it.

I am glad my list has lots of exclusives

Hey! I had an idea! let's do a thread with the WORSE games by intial letter!

Amiga1992 · 09 August 2002, 08:49

Yep, here's NO 1942 on the miggy!

Nintendo version p'raps

alkis21 · 09 August 2002, 09:20

I never had a C64, but I did have the Spectrum version.. however, I could have sworn.. anyway.
Worst games? That's kind of tricky, how do you define a terrible game? I mean, comparing a public domain or a small company's game to one that was produced by a major company is not fair.

Drake1009 · 09 August 2002, 09:21

What is the ingame music name for 1942 on the C64 version? I've been looking for that ever since I lost the midi version I had.

For me making the list wasn't hard as I already had a list of my games

Ok so there were some places where I wasn't sure what game to chose, but I didn't have to try and remember every single game.
