Capcom's old-boy classic top-down shooter 1942 is being revived for Xbox Live Arcade and PSN, where it'll release this summer.
Reported on IGN, 1942: Joint Strike retains the top-down viewpoint of the original; but obviously things have moved on a bit in the hardware department since the 1980s so we're getting what's described as "impressive 3D graphics".
Fans of co-op play will no doubt be pleased to hear that Joint Strike features support for two-player offline and online blasting.
If you're unfamiliar with 1942, in a nutshell you flew a WWII plane and shot the crap out of stuff.
1942: Joint Strike will set you back 800 Microsoft Points (£6.80) or $9.99 in the US on PSN (which would be five quid here).
