1942 was picked up for distribution on several popular European home computers by Elite Systems, and relicensed for distribution by Encore. ASCII Corporation brought 1942 to home computers in Japan by porting the game to the MSX1 computer system, and later releasing a graphically updated version for the more capable MSX2 computer. Capcom personnel ported the game to the [[NES|Famicom/NES]] system which sold very successfully. While 1942 was not the first Capcom game to receive a sequel, but it was their first game to spawn a series, including the more successful follow-up, [[1943]]. 1942 has also been subsequently released on several Capcom compilation titles for many later-gen systems. | 1942 was picked up for distribution on several popular European home computers by Elite Systems, and relicensed for distribution by Encore.
