  On Playstation Store, I see 306 games under Capcom Arcade Stadium (rather than the 32 that are mentioned above), but none of them are '1943: The Battle of Midway' unless I missed it.

  Am I doing something wrong?

  Thanks,

  Alan.

    Is that within the Arcade Stadium game/programme or you mean in the PlayStation store?

      Hi Wakrak,

      I clicked on the link above to the PlayStation Store (https://store.playstation.com/en-nz/search/capcom%20arcade%2…)

      That is a 'search' for 'Capcom Arcade Station' and it shows 306 hits - each of which is, I guess, a game within the CAS (or maybe 305 games, plus the CAS itself).

      I clicked through the pages, and could not find '1943: The Battle of Midway' (or even any mention of '1943') at all.

      I also tried a search on '1943' alone (https://store.playstation.com/en-nz/search/1943), but no joy there either - I just get 'No results found'.

      Oddly, if you search on '1943: The Battle of Midway' it removes the colon, and returns 512 hits (interesting number - might be just a coincidence, but maybe a programming limit on results). I am guessing it is returning results with an implicit OR between each term, such as:

      1943 OR The OR Battle OR of OR Midway

      or maybe it removes small common words and returns results for:

      1943 OR Battle OR Midway

      Its Sony, so….

      Thanks,

      Alan.

        Ahh I see. You need to download Capcom Arcade Stadium, and within it, 1943 will be one of the free games available. Arcade Stadium acts as a launcher of sorts. The layout is like a gaming parlour with a bunch of different arcade machines representing games. Most of them will be inaccessible (unless you buy the packs) but 1943 will be free.

          @Wakrak: Okay - got it.

          I guess I thought that 1943 would be shown as one of the items out of the 305 / 306, but I guess not?

          Thanks,

          Alan.

  This is fairly cool app.
  You can rewind the game and create save states at any point. Now i will finally be able to beat Ghost n Goblins.
