I got 1942 last week. It's great game plus the sound is fixed from the msx version.

Ive got no basis of comparison so forgive me but what was the sound issue on the msx version that was fixed? Thanks!

From teampixelboy.com:

 

Mystery Man fixed one of the most glaring problems with the MSX original, which you probably noticed if you ever played it: The background music gets overriden by the sound effect of your plane's guns, so if you keep shooting continuously, the sound output becomes a mostly garbled mess. With the Super Game Module offering three additional sound channels, it's used for the background music, while the ColecoVision's native sound chip handles the sound effects. Aside from this important technical update, the game remains the same as the MSX version.
 

Have a look at a random YouTube video of the MSX version, and you'll see (or rather hear) the problem.
