    TRIVIA
    1944 - The Loop Master was released on June 20, 2000 in Japan. It was known as the 33th CPS-2 game.

    Known export release:
    [US] "1944 - The Loop Master [Blue Board]"

    Like many other large companies as-of-late, Capcom has started farming out the programing of their games to third party companies. In this case, 1944 was made by 'Eighting / Raizing' and published by Capcom.

    The Stage Clear background music samples "Green Onions", an instrumental piece by the R&B band 'Booker T. & the M.G.'s', released in 1962.

    The game forbids the initials 'SEX' on the high score table. If you try, it gets changed to 'CAP'.

    Default High-score table 'Score ranking':
    (Rank - Name - Score - Stage - Destroy rate)
    1st CAP 1000000pts. 3st1 90%
    2nd COM 900000pts. 3st1 85%
    3rd CAP 800000pts. 3st1 80%

    • Hold FIRE to charge guns. When it is fully charged release FIRE. The plane will be INVINCIBLE for a short period of time and fire powerful low range projectiles. Then the guns will overheat preventing you from charging them for a short time.
    • The mini fighters that appear beside your plane are destroyed after taking two hits. Destroyed side fighters are replaced if you have more in stock. During charge attacking or when there is no bomb, pushing BOMB makes side fighters charge forward for a powerful suicide attack.
