Pacific Air War - A homage to the classic arcade game 1942 for the Vic +24k

Back in the 80's a great shoot 'em up was released in the Arcades by Capcom called 1942. A game in which you shot down enemy planes, avoided being shot out of the sky and performed awesome rolls while collecting power ups. While it was an awesome game, and can still be enjoyed by anyone today, thanks to huffelduff however, we have a new game added to itch io called Pacific Air War: A homage to the classic arcade game of 1942 for the Vic +24k.

And here's what the website says about the game. "You are the group leader of a secret twin engined super fighter squadron*. You have been tasked to inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible while the Naval expeditionary forces take control of different island chains. Fight from aircraft carrier to aircraft carrier as you battle waves of enemy fighters, squadrons of bombers, dodge experimental missiles and destroy super weapon bombers. You have three aircraft in your squadron and you may gain a fourth if you are good enough. You can earn a weapons upgrade (firing rate upgrade) by catching the upgrade pellets that are dotted throughout the levels. You can also dodge bullets by doing a loop (three seconds of invulnerability and you can do three loops per aircraft)".
