This is the 1942 5 Screw listing: Capcom's World War II shooter for the NES, released in North America in November 1986, in a cartridge shell held together with five screws. It is a loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
1942 began as a Capcom arcade game. Micronics developed the NES version, and Capcom published it. It is a scrolling shooter set in the Pacific Theater of World War II and loosely based on the Battle of Midway.
You fly a Lockheed P-38 Lightning that the game calls the Super Ace. Your goal is to reach Tokyo and destroy the Japanese air fleet. A special roll button lets your plane loop out of a dangerous spot for a moment.
One power-up creates the Tip Tow formation. Two smaller fighters join your plane and fly alongside it as escorts.
Early NES cartridges were held together with five small slotted screws. Price guides such as PriceCharting list 5 screw NES carts, such as 10-Yard Fight [5 Screw], as separate variants from the standard carts. A 1942 five screw cartridge plays the same game as the standard copy. Only the shell is different. If you collect by shell type, check the photos on this page to see the exact cartridge you will receive.
