About this game
Galaga was released by Bally Midway in 1981.
Description
As a spaceship moving left to right at the bottom of the screen, shoot up at enemies as they enter, assemble in formation and fly down at you. If you allowed an alien to capture one of your ships in its tractor beam, you could shoot the foe later and double your fire power!
Trivia
MGM sent a Galaga machine to Matthew Broderick for him to practice prior to shooting the movie WarGames released in 1983. He practiced for two months and the Galaga arcade unit makes two appearances in the film.
Instructions
Shoot the enemies!

Galaga is the game that everyone always asks us about. "Do you have Galaga yet?" "I'll come visit when there's Galaga!"
Well, we finally have a Galaga! A total deconversion, but a Galaga nonetheless. Thanks to a wonderfully generous member on KLOV, we were able to acquire a full set of internals for the game. It's a great fit next to Space Invaders!
