History
Founding and early years
The company that would become Commodore Business Machines, Inc. was founded in 1954 in Toronto as the Commodore Portable Typewriter Company by Polish immigrant and Auschwitz survivor Jack Tramiel. For a few years he had been living in New York, driving a taxicab and running a small business repairing typewriters, when he managed to sign a deal with a Czechoslovakian company to manufacture their designs in Canada. He moved to Toronto to start production. By the late 1950s a wave of Japanese machines forced most North American typewriter companies to cease business, but Tramiel instead turned to adding machines.

Power-ups: The game introduces a range of power-ups to enhance your plane’s abilities, such as improved weapons, fuel recovery, and shields.
Energy bar: A significant departure from traditional shoot-’em-ups, the player has an energy bar instead of lives. The energy depletes over time and from enemy fire, but it can be replenished with certain pickups.
Co-op mode: In some versions, including certain arcade versions, there was a cooperative mode where two players could fight side-by-side.
Features on Commodore 64:
Graphics and sound: While not as advanced as the arcade version, the C64 port managed to capture the essence of the original with decent graphics and sound for its time. The iconic chiptune music added to the immersion.
Controls: The C64 version utilized the joystick, making it accessible for gamers of that era to maneuver through the challenging levels.
Difficulty: Like many shoot-’em-up games from the 80s, “1943” on the Commodore 64 was known for its difficulty, requiring precise dodging and shooting skills.
Reception:
While the C64 version didn’t perfectly match the arcade’s speed and fluidity, it was still well-regarded for bringing the arcade experience home, especially considering the limitations of the hardware. It became a staple for fans of the genre on the C64.
If you’re a retro gaming fan, “1943: The Battle of Midway” on the Commodore 64 is a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of shoot-’em-ups.

1943: The Battle of Midway has some problems. Overall, though, it's a solid shooter and fits the bill quite nicely as an alternative means of play for Commodore 64 gamers who can't get to the arcade as well as those who don't want to continuously drop quarters or tokens in the slot.
Released: 1988
