1943: The Battle Of Midway review. Classic Game Room presents a CGR Undertow review of 1943: The Battle Of Midway as included in the Capcom Arcade Cabinet for the PlayStation 3 developed and published by Capcom. Originally released in 1987, 1943: The Battle Of Midway is a sequel to the 1984 classic 1942. The game transports players back to World War II, casting them as American pilots at war with the Japanese. The gameplay is a remarkably honed shoot 'em up, renowned for its sharp and fast-paced gameplay, and its influence on gaming is as wide as the Pacific.
