    One of my all time favorite arcade game, would love to have a arcade1up of this...
    My highest score is 100,000 pretty decent to reach that far but my main goal is to reach 1 million points hopefully someday I can do this in an arcades hopefully when pandemic can be at ease and bars and arcades be open again with precautions

      @@samautio6065 You would leave 2 of those large ships at the top to come down and drop their bombs without shooting them. You'd allow that to happen over and over until they stopped dropping bombs. It would take about 10 minutes

    I have been playing Galaga since I was 6 (currently 38 upon posting this comment). We have an retro arcade that opened up last year that has Galaga. Now I can go to Dave and Buster's and play the tall screen version.

    Before its release, Galaga was not well received within Namco because it was similar to Galaxian.
