From Ophelea, "I was a mall rat when 1942 hit the arcade scene back in 1984, which is to say when I wasn't busy annoying other mall rats, I was in the arcade. I have fond memories of the game, not because it was my favorite - though as I look back now, I did have quite a bit of fun - but because it was one of the few games I was actually any good at. There was also something infinitely cool about the big boss plane flying up underneath you before you took it out - that thing was so out of proportion!"
PSU takes another look back at some of the digital delights found Inside PlayStation Network.

European PlayStation Network members will be able to get hold of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD, Marvel VS Capcom 2, Super Puzzle Fighter, Age of Booty and 1942 for a reduced price over a set period in the coming months.
VGC writes: "Classic top-down shooters have always been a blast to play. Having to face off against wave after wave of multiple types of enemies at once has been the pinnacle of this genre. There have been many games, like Ikaruga, that have tried to change up gameplay mechanics, but most of the time the games always fall back onto the genre's core style. This isn't a bad thing though. It allows the player to reminisce about all the games of this genre that have came before it."
