1942 is set in the Asian theater of World War II. The goal is to reach Tokyo and destroy the entire Japanese air fleet. The player (the American "Super Ace") pilots a plane, and has to shoot down enemy planes. Besides shooting, the player can also perform a "loop-the-loop" to avoid enemy fire.
Destroying a formation of red enemy planes will result in a power-up, the most powerful of which is thunder: This destroys all enemies currently displayed. The other power-ups consist of a double shot, a pair of wingmen to fire alongside the plane, and a thousand points (although a thousand points are also received when a power-up is collected).
