- 0.29: Mirko Buffoni, Paul Leaman and Nicola Salmoria added 1943 (Capcom 1987). 1943 is almost identical to GunSmoke (one more scrolling playfield). We should merge the two drivers. Accurate colors in 1943 [Tim Lindquist, Nicola Salmoria]. Known issues: Colors in test mode are not correct, but the board the PROMs were read from does the same. The colors in the game seem to be correct. To be able to access items 4-7 in the test menu, you must keep 3 pressed while pressing F3.
