Playtrough of "19XX: The War Against Destiny" with plane "Sinden"
---
19XX: The War Against Destiny is a vertical scrolling shooter arcade game released by Capcom in 1996. The story takes place before a fictional war ("19XX") as a lone pilot tries to defeat an entire army/evil organization from starting another World War, which soon escalates to a nuclear apocalypse.
Fighters: players have the choice between three different planes, each of them having a weapon most suited to them, though weapons aren't exclusive to each one (upgrades work only for the proper plane/weapons type):
- Lockheed P-38 Lightning: The series's staple, the P-38 is the most balanced ship of the three. It's best weapon is the 4 Shot, a fast firing weapon.
- de Havilland Mosquito: Returning from 1941, the Mosquito focuses on firepower. It's best weapon is the 3 Way, which fires rockets in a spread pattern.
- Kyushu J7W Shinden: A newcomer ship, the Shinden is the fastest and most maneuverable ship. It's best weapon is the Super Shell, which fires straight blue lasers.
Charging your main weapon launches a strong blast which when hitting a strong enemy locks your shots into said enemy for a brief period of time. This game drops the fuel meter in favor of a regular life system, with the player having three lives on default settings. Planes also have bombs in their arsenal, and they can be charged as well. Simply pressing the bomb button will create a weak screen-clearing blast wave useful for eliminating projectiles, but by charging it you can create a powerful focused blast (level 2), and charging it to the maximum (level 3) will create a devastating screen-clearing series of explosions.

Story: 19XX moves the setting from the World War II to a fictional war set in modern times, hence the title of this game using a non-specific date. A terrorist organization named Outer Limits, which have been instigating conflicts in many parts of the world, seeks to obtain complete domination over the planet by creating a powerful nuclear weapon. The World Peacekeeping Agency learns of Outer Limits's plans, so they send in two ace pilots, Mark Raratto and George Hamill, to stop their plans. Unknown to them, Outer Limits has recruited the services of another ace pilot, Mark's own older brother, who pilots a black aircraft.

This game is the 4th in a series of World War II vertical shooters published by Capcom, and is the last game in the series developed by Capcom. The previous games in the series 1942, 1943: The Battle of Midway and 1941: Counter Attack used the original Capcom System or CPS-1 and were released from 1984-1990. The CPS-2 platform used by this game allowed for a different art style from that used in previous games. It is followed by 1944: The Loop Master in 2000 (by a separate company called 8ing/Raizing).
