ST 11 9 . 9 9 d
It was over 40 years ago, at the height of World
War 11, that the Japanese main squadron tasted
defeat off the west coast of the Midway Islands.
Some say that this battle greatly changed the
outcome of the war, some say under different
direction we may now all be living our lives
under the shadow of the Rising Sun. This is
your opportunity at the controls of your
magnificent P38, armed with six secret
weapons, to relive the titanic struggle for
supremacy against the battleship Yamato and
its legions of defences.
"Supreme arcade conflict at its thrilling best"
