1941 Counter Attack Game Online - Play Fun Retro Airplane Video Games

Prepare for non-stop aerial combat in 1941: Counter Attack, the thrilling prequel to 1942 that catapults you into the heart of WWII! This top-down shooter puts you in control of a P-38 (player 1) or a Mosquito (player 2), as you take on waves of enemy airplanes and ships. The action is intense - one button controls your regular firepower, which can be upgraded by collecting power-ups dropped by enemies, while the other lets you execute a dramatic loop that clears the screen of everything in your path, or deals extra damage to the monstrous bosses you'll face at the end of each level. While your regular ammo is infinite, upgraded weapons have limited shots, adding an extra layer of strategy to your attacks. Charge up your special shot by holding down the weapon button, and unleash devastating attacks that vary based on the weapon you're using. You'll need to keep an eye on your life bar, which starts with three points - each hit or loop drains it, but you can earn back life points by completing levels or grabbing the right power-ups. Keep an eye out for helpful boosts like auxiliary side planes and ghost planes to give you the edge. With three continues and a cool feature where each continue adds a point to your score (a game-changing concept introduced here and adopted by many shooters that followed), 1941: Counter Attack offers a pulse-pounding experience full of strategic decisions, intense dogfights, and epic battles. Ready to take to the skies and prove your worth? The war is waiting for you!
