About this game

19XX: The War Against Destiny is a Capcom arcade shooter and the final game in the 194X series. Players take on large, durable enemy aircraft using one of three fighters, each with a different balance of speed, default weapon power, and homing weapon power.

Weapons

  • SHOOT: Fires the fighter's primary weapons.
  • BOMB: Uses a limited supply of special weapons, with additional bombs available through power-ups.
  • Power-shot missile: Holding SHOOT briefly launches a missile that locks onto a target. While the target remains locked, additional weapons automatically home in on it.

Released in 1995, the game is associated with Arcade, Capcom Play System II, Final Burn Alpha Neo, and HB MAME.
