It could've had a Super NES port, too. The Super NES had the graphical and sound capabilities necessary, and its clock speed would've been sufficient to not suffer from slowdown with so few sprites on screen at any time.
My ranks of each version of the game (Not counting Emulated Ports). 4, Gamer Gear, It’s not bad, while it seems to play aright, it’s highly simple, but still impressive for the hardware. 7.4/10 3. PC Engine, This Port is great, it looks almost arcade prefect, the sound is almost like the 1981 Galaga. Overall, great. 8.9/10 2. Sharp X68000, Well, not much to say, it looks great, it plays great, it sounds great (with better samples than the arcade version) and even a Bonus Level. Overall, very great but nothing beats the Arcade version. 9.3/10. 1. Arcade, When this came out, it was pretty much a upgraded and more modern version of Galaga with updated graphics, sound, and gameplay. Looking back, it seems to hold up. With great graphics for the time, and good gameplay. It feels like a real updated version of Galaga and not some version of 81 Galaga with updated graphics and sound. Overall, it holds up. 9.4/10 There wasn’t much to cover this time.
PC Engine's version is great, though the warps max out at Dimension 4 (the arcade lets you go to 5). X68000 is the typical arcade perfect port you'd expect on that system, plus the arrange mode.
Do you know who the composer was for the Sharp X68000 arrangement themes? I've been looking everywhere for their work since the UA-cam page he used to post his music on had since been deleted.
Here's a tip for a guaranteed Perfet bonus. Don't do anything during the Galactic Dancin' segments. Don't move, don't shoot. This will nab you 10k points.
For the next part of the Galaga series, Gaplus would be nice! Oh, and Bandia Namco also released their NES Gaplus port to the Nintnedo Switch! Can you do the NES version as a bonus?
The PC Engine version is the best. The Arcade is smoother, more refined, but also too hard and totally unforgiving. The PC Engine is the version that is almost arcade-perfect in graphics, the sound is even better, it's grittier, 12 bit wavetables are the best, and where it beats the arcade is in the stereo image. Also the PC Engine has that BOSS-defeat tune not available in any other version, it is worth 2 bonus points by itself! I even dare call the PC Engine boss-defeat-theme the best video game music ever! And there is a chance you reach the final boss, you can pretty much forget that on the Arcade, museum and X68000 versions.
@@chriscapaccio4342 If you think the arcade music is better, you never beat the end boss. Galaga 88 PCE has the most asthonishing boss defeat tune ever.
My second favourite galaga game of all time (after the masterpiece that is Deluxe Galaga on the Amiga of all places). Arcade and x68k are the best with pcengine a close runner-up...
@@AmigaX Unfortunately not. My brothers and I lost a lot of our work on our 486 when the HDDs crashed, or "someone" decided to delete things for space reasons. Wish I still had all that stuff.
Secret, if you have a super ship on Galaga ‘91 (Sega Game Gear), press the “a” and you can have powerful cannon fire! It can instant kill the space bugs that capture your fighter, powerful space bugs, and even the bosses! You can also use powerful cannon fire in challenging stages! (That is galactic dancing)
'Super' Galaga ('Super' is 16-bit game installment term), but lack of ports such as Atari computers (ST/STe), Amiga, PC-DOS, Mega Drive, Super Nintendo, Macintosh (Mac OS 7 port) and Atari Lynx (extracted from Game Gear version of Galaga 1988).
3:113:36 This sound design is the best. 4:23 Can't find an emulator for this console. It's bothering me. 8:48 This ship bares a vague resemblance to another ship that was used in the psp galaga arrangement.
You missed one version! There was a very old Galaga collection available on iPhone and Samsung about 10 years ago. I don't know how you can even get a hand on it but... It was quite the collection!
Do the ports comparison : Super Street Fighter IV (2010) => comparison between arcade version, home version (PS3/Xbox 360/Windows) and Nintendo 3DS version. The Sims (2002 video game, but console version with full-3D environment unlike debut version which only for PC) => comparison between console version (PS2/GCN/Xbox) and handheld version (e.g. GBA) Super Street Fighter II Turbo/X (1994) => including 'HD Remake' version OutRunners (1992) Power Drift (1988) Micro Machines (1991) Pit-Fighter (1991) SimCity (1989) SimCity 2000 (1993) Street Fighter Alpha/ZERO 3 (1998) => Including 'MAX' version Salamander/Life Force (1986)

When i first time saw this sequel i was blown away by how beautiful this game
40 anniversary of galaga
what was the bugs' names?
This is great!
To be honest, Galaga '88 could've had a Sega Genesis port.
Yes it should have
if the Sega Genesis/Mega~Drive could match the
hardware in the Galaga 88 arcade game then yes
It could've had a Super NES port, too. The Super NES had the graphical and sound capabilities necessary, and its clock speed would've been sufficient to not suffer from slowdown with so few sprites on screen at any time.
did you know that the turbo grafx 16's processor has the same amount of megahertz as the genesis processor? i guess they both have blast processing.
If there’s another variation of the Sega Mega Drive mini series like “Wondermega Mini.”
VERY much my favorite arcade game of all time

But the PC Engine has that boss-defeat tune no other version has, and it is magnificant, maybe even the best game music ever.

Such an underappreciated version of Galaga, and most especially impressive for the time it was made in

Secret bonus.

I don't think there's a whole lot of gaplus ports tho, I think the first time it was ported was 1996 on Namco museum volume 2

Hard disagree on the music; I think arcade has the PC Engine beat. But in terms of gameplay it’s vice versa, like you said…

Great job!
I wrote a game similar game to this in 1996 in Turbo Pascal. 320x200 @ 256 colours. I called it Oblivion. Them days :-)
Interesting, do you still have the game files?
@@AmigaX Unfortunately not. My brothers and I lost a lot of our work on our 486 when the HDDs crashed, or "someone" decided to delete things for space reasons. Wish I still had all that stuff.
@@TheN0odles Kinda Sad That You Lost the Files :(.

I miss the MSX versión. Namco (namcot) made the versión itself. Good video
I feel like this could work on the Super Nintendo.

I happen to have that version on my iPhone 3gs
I had that on iPad, it was different but pretty cool. I remember it being a 30th anniversary special
Arcades are my favorite platforms
Why is the Galaga 88 arcade game your favourite?
why is the Galaga 88 arcade game your favourite?
Pc engine version sounds very close to the arcade without having the same sound hardware
Do the Global Gladiators one pls!
Very very very beautiful
The same theme is used in galaga wars on Android
Can You Do Pac-In-Time Versions Comparison?
a pointless comparison Amiga, Game Boy, Mac OS (Macintosh), MS-DOS, SNES
Compare frogger versions
Random Purple Bot: “wackohyaco”
Belicismo fico imaginando como foi o projeto da equipe audio compositor e conhecimento das galaticas muito bom
Namco Museum 50th Anniversary for GameCube,/PS2/Xbox version is best.
heard the sound in the intro
I thought the TurboGrafx version was called Galaga '90.
Sure
Do the ports comparison :
Super Street Fighter IV (2010) => comparison between arcade version, home version (PS3/Xbox 360/Windows) and Nintendo 3DS version.
The Sims (2002 video game, but console version with full-3D environment unlike debut version which only for PC) => comparison between console version (PS2/GCN/Xbox) and handheld version (e.g. GBA)
Super Street Fighter II Turbo/X (1994) => including 'HD Remake' version
OutRunners (1992)
Power Drift (1988)
Micro Machines (1991)
Pit-Fighter (1991)
SimCity (1989)
SimCity 2000 (1993)
Street Fighter Alpha/ZERO 3 (1998) => Including 'MAX' version
Salamander/Life Force (1986)
The Arcade version is still the best.
A mi la version de Galaga 88,que mas me gusto es la version de Arcade,saludos desde Chile.
Game Gear: Look how they massacred my boy
BBC model b version?
I requested one for _Ufouria: The Saga._
Didn’t even show off the warping
4:48 Wat Iz Diz
Galax Goei
Bandi namco usa used to be down the street from me.
You forgot the NES version
Pc-engine version is the best
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Also leave it to dempa to sample the sound effects instead of sequence them 🤮
All versions kind of sound like Pac-Man eating pellets

This is crap, barely any ports with significant compromises
