The Galaga "No Fire" trick - How long does it take?

- Let's perform the Galaga no fire trick and time it to see how long you need to wait before knowing it worked. How do you disarm the Galaga enemies for the entire game?
![PERFECT DRAGON'S LAIR PLAYTHROUGH [NO DEATHS] [MOVE GUIDE DISABLED]](/img/n.gif)
I learned this from a Marine in an arcade on base in Seoul Korea in 1985. I didn't realize that it was still available on newer machines, so now I might just have to get one. Yeah for me!
Note: I did this in the 80s. I never kept two Bees on screen. It was always the top left bee. Kill the rest. You knew it was working when the opposite screen bomb fell. It's also safe to get captured and do this with two connected ships.
Works on:
Original Galaga cabinets
60-in-1 iCade (Despite some slight modifications)
1st and 2nd gen countercades from Arcade1up
I learned of this trick from someone in an arcade that had the original Galaga. I tried it and it worked and then went to town on the bees. I got to level 255 and cleared it, then the game stated I was on level 0 and the ship was there and you could shoot, but none of the bees appeared anymore. I pointed that to the arcade operator, he tapped the keys, shrugged and gave me 25 cents. So, that was the longest and cheapest arcade game I ever had. As for a more recent machine, it goes to level 0, the screen garbles up and resets the game (and end gameplay).
you should be the one making videos!!! :)
I did the same thing. Played for 8 hrs straight to get there. Good thing for galaga breaks!!!
15 min.
That's down to the different Ranks (difficulties). They all do something different at Stage 0. A/easy is the garbled crash (most machines are on this as it's default). B plays a weird "challenge stage"... but the bugs can fire at you! Then loops forever. C is what happened to you. No enemies come and you're soft locked. And D loops forever. Stage 0 is virtually Stage 1 except bugs fly fast in formation and when they frenzy.
WHAT?! NO WAY....... This is awesome. I must try this.
Very cool trick we do whenever we come across the game :)
Just so you know, you do not have to let the full stage one complete before you start. You can shoot any of the initial groups, except for the Bee's, because you want to be sure you don't blast the two key bee's. This is also a good practice, so that you have less stuff to shoot at while you are getting down to the last two Bee's.
Yeah, I think that is me just being overly cautious :)
the first two challenging stages i leave the two ships right where they are, no need to touch the joystick unless you're bad at timing your shots.
It worked really well
This trick only works on the Galaga 1.0 version or the original version. I’ve tried it on a newer version I think 1.1 and it did not work. It does not work in the Arcade1up machine. They must not use the original rom. I use to wonder why there are different versions but maybe because people were using this trick.
didnt worked on my version for MAME galaga.zip namco
How do u know da right verison
I wish that trick would work for Galaxian. That game is deceptively difficult to play. I reached 7,000 points some weeks ago and earned my first extra ship. Have not repeated that event since.
Do you know if this works on the galaga games you buy online on the big video table top versions?
generally it doesn't work on home consoles or emulators
I used to do this as a kid and I shot all except the top left bee. I remember taking 20 min .
Yeah good times we would take a couple quarters to the old mom and pop store down the road and play for hours as a kid. We always would leave the bottom left bee so apparently either one works
You can save the last two bees on the right side, move your ship to the far left and you will be able to walk away the bees will not fire across the screen - MAME tested - only works on Midway set 1 versions
awesome! Thanks!
One bee will be enough, no need to have the two of them.
Works on Namco revision B
cool!
I like doing this too. I had one machine well sort of crash but not crash. After I did the last challenge stage at Level 255. The game is suppose to return to Level 0 and the bugs come around the bottom of the screen then go up. But that one machine, NOTHING happened, I was still alive flying but no level zero, no nothing, I was flying through empty space. Only way to fix it was probably to unplug it. I ended the game by walking away :)
that’s pretty cool
That machine was on Rank C! All the difficulty settings do a different Stage 0. Rank C is probably the least likely to see in the wild.

Early 1980s we thought the hack was leave only the lower left bee and you HAD to shoot him on the third pass when he didn't shoot at you. We thought if you didn't kill him on the third pass the hack wouldn't work formrhe rest of the game.
This is incorrect. You don't have to leave two bees, you only have to leave one bee from the leftmost column. I used to do this trick all the time at my local arcade.
It's taken as long as 20 minutes for me.
does it work on xbox one?
let me know if you get it to work

Gracias....ya soy un pro....jajaja
de nada
Didn’t work, thanks. I’ll never get back those 12 mins. 😢
hope you are able to get over it someday 😂
You must’ve been very unlucky and might’ve played a version that had the glitch patched. I’m sure that if you play the original arcade rom (e.g. on MAME) or on some select compilation games that simulate or emulate the original game (e.g. Namco Museum Vol. 1 for PlayStation), you should be able to perform this trick without any problem.
Trying to get this to work in the Famicom version...
any luck???
Dude, why? How does cheating make you feel good about getting the high score. You're taking all the fun out of the game.
