The Battle of Midway was the most decisive video game battle of the Second World War.
The Battle[edit | edit source]
It took place on 4 June, 1942, between 4.15 and 4.25pm, less than an hour after the disastrous Battle of Namco.
Strategy[edit | edit source]
In the early hours of the afternoon, Midway launched a surprise attack on video game rival Konami.
Aftermath[edit | edit source]
When the smoke cleared, Konami's shipyard facilities for Scramble and Gyruss lay in ruins, but victory came with a high cost, as Midway lost almost half of their own Space Invaders fleet.
Impact on the War[edit | edit source]
Although neither Konami or Midway had any direct ties to the Axis or Allied powers, the battle had far-reaching effects on video game warfare, and marked a crucial turning point in the entire war.
