@PIKAKP68 what are you talking about? This is exactly the same.
This looks like it is on a hard setting as I played alot of (original)machines and on most of them they did not fire at you when they were going into formation at stages 1 and 2. This made it easier to let them stack up on stages 1 and 2 because I was always told that if you wait until they break away and go into attack before you start firing on them you get more points. Not sure if that was true though.
It about the same as the original. ..about being the key word.
i actually played a stand alone galaga machine in a arcade in lake george ny, just after playing after burner 2 IN A COCKPIT CABINET!!! NO SH*T IM SERIOUS!!!!!!!!! they also had a tetris, ms pacman,pacman, and a centipede machine.

best game in the world
hd?
My first time playing Galaga was Tekken. Tekken 2 perhaps, I can’t remember. =P
@Theriot6592 ya in scottland theres a arcade version of this game in a restaurant
some graphics as arcade version and nes version
I will admit that Galaga is a pretty cool game and it would be shame for somebody to say they are a gamer and have never even at least heard of Galaga….
Sadly not my favorite vertical shooter, but it’s well up there. I respect Galaga as a classic, but my love for vertical shooters does not fall in this genre as much as bullet hell does. Touhou project actually proves you can have a fun vertical shooter without aliens and battleships, the oriental setting (though modern) is quite refreshing.
You are not a gamer until you’ve played galaga. that or pong.
I want hydro thunder on xbox live arcade from sega dreamcast i like that 1
“Remember” The arcade version, Mark? you don’t need to remember it, they’re still fucking everywhere
@clouds5
True
@johngorgis No genius, hug a unicorn and it magically shoots out of its horn.
In the 80′s my dad ran a Pizza Inn, that had this, and it seems that this is verbatim a copy of the arcade version at the resturant.
do u have to pay for it?
yeeeah with xbox live you can now do what we’ve been doing since like 10 years on PCs
awesome!
Dude, talk about GALAGA! Did you forget you were doing a review or something?
‘I’d really like to see chu chu rocket.’
GALAGA!
these sounds remind me when i go to the laundry mat with my mom and she gives me a hand full of quorters and i would run to the sounds of galaga and enjoy the game
my favorite part is the doubleship
This is not a remake or modification of the original arcade version. It is just emulated perfectly, so this version is not new. in fact, the 7800 version is a remake of the original arcade version.
The best space shooter of all time right here!
