1941: Counter Attack

Players assume the role of a fighter pilot during WWII and shoot down enemy planes, boats and other assorted structures. This game is another shoot-em-up in the same vein as Varth: Operation Thunderstorm, 1942, and 1943 The Battle Of Midway. It essentially combines elements from these games into one sleek package. Players progress through the levels, shooting down planes, tanks, and other assorted enemies. Power-ups and extra lives may be earned as well by shooting down enough enemy planes. There are some strange levels such as a place like Venice with the tanks and jeeps happily whizzing around. The levels tend to be a little claustrophobic with you often having to negotiate winding city pathways or harbors.
