Quick start

- Shoot the item to cycle the offered reward.
- Collect fuel before the meter becomes critical.

1943: The Battle of Midway (US) — About this game
1943: The Battle of Midway (US) trades the usual stock of spare aircraft for a fuel meter that constantly falls and also suffers from damage. Destroying complete red formations produces supplies, and shooting an item cycles its reward before collection. The Special action spends fuel on a large attack; pressing Fire and Special together performs an evasive loop instead. Two players can also transfer energy by overlapping their aircraft. Watch the remaining fuel before choosing an emergency attack, since the same resource must keep the plane in the air until another refill arrives.
