In episode 084, MetalFRO and Addicted begin the podcast's Pacific Theater Summer event with the 2nd game released in the classic Capcom WWI shmup series, the venerable 1943. Does the game live up to the nostalgia, or does it falter against its peers and subsequent entries in the franchise? How historically accurate and relevant is the game itself? We discuss this and more!
