The year: 1941. The place: 20,000 feet in the air over the North Atlantic. Lightning flashes across the skies of war-torn Europe. Your mission: beat back the imperial forces before they can use their new weapon!
1941: Counter Attack is a 1990 vertically scrolling shooter video game developed and published by Capcom for arcades. It is the prequel to 1942, and the third game in the 194X series.
While challenging, the gameplay is not as impossible as some other bullet hell shooters of the 90s.
