Galaga

[Le Chuck]

Is there anything better than a good game of Galaga when everything is clicking?  Bonus round is coming off like fish in a barrel, twin guns a-blazing through all the levels, those little ---daisies--- unable to anticipate your next salvo.  Ahhhhh sweet victory.

I love the sound of the music that plays when you get your captured ship back.

Pretty much the reason I spend way too much time and money restoring my cab.

Ha - I *just* finished a session and saw this post.

I know what you mean... I like the little bits of attention to details in the game... such as being able to fire whilst you are being captured. Shot my capturing ship one that way though

Nope.

Galaga was the reason I built a dedicated Tate cab- LOVE that game.  I now have 25" CRT vertical goodness and Galaga high score contests with my buddies.  I'm losing with 190,000ish on stock slow fire.

Heck Yeah! It's one of my grails and I should have one soon.

Love Galaga. I prefer normal fire speed, but sometimes I just want to play for an hour and will play fast shoot.

The only thing missing here is a Danny_Galaga Review of Galaga.... 

[Seith]

Dinosaur Comics' Ryan North is doing a comic strip based on Galaga.

Galaga is why I built a mame cab!

[yotsuya]

Galaga is why I bought Rollie Leafswitches for my vertical 4-way cab.

[Le Chuck]

Galaga is why the sun comes up.

[HanoiBoi]

But what's the correct pronunciation? 

GAL-uh-guh or Guh-LAG-uh?

[ids]

Galaga is why the sun comes up.

I'd reply to this, but I'm busy playing galaga

And the pronunciation is: GAL-uh-guh

[yotsuya]

Chuck Norris sees Galaga and says "Man, that's a badass game."

[PL1]

And the pronunciation is: GAL-uh-guh

And there's also the common mis-pronounciation guh-LAY-guh.

The only really cool one was the War Games image - because it was real, and because it wasn't widescreen.

I feel the same way with Robotron.
Acing a Mikey level, clearing a Tank level before a single shot is fired from them, passing a zombie (wave 9) level without dying...is all akin to the same feeling of VICTOLY!

[Le Chuck]

I need to take a few weeks and hone my robo skillz. I enjoy it but kinda suck. Galaga was my childhood game so I've got 25 years of experience and only discovered the Robotron in MAME.

[Vigo]

Same here, and the minute I discovered Robotron I was playing it for weeks straight. I didn't get a whole lot better though. The Galaga sounds are ingrained in my mind forever though.

[ids]

Robotron was on the list of games which did not see many of my quarters - i suck at games and it didn't provide a lot of game time per coin.  Actually, the list had most games on it, I must admit, but Galaga would always get the coinage.  Sometimes Xevious as well, could play that for some time on a single quarter, but it was not nearly as entertaining as the big "G"

[jimmer]

Thanks for this thread, it nudged me to get Galaga working on my set-up. A good game for the little'uns I expect. That said they seemed pretty happy with Robotron today.

[EightBySix]

Do they exist anywhere outside of the game? Can't run audacity etc on my dos machine. Might bug people in the office with a galaga ringtone...

Aye. Look online.

Oh, jeez, nevermore. Xevious is just WAY cooler than Galaga.

1000%!!!
Galaga single boring screen same thing over and over BORING!
XEVIOUS was an adventure! I just wanted to know what cool stuff is next!

Galaga=borefest equal to space invaders. It was acceptable, until something else showed up.

You are harshing the vibe in here man. Like, go start a Xevious thread. What youre doing is like going to Wat Arun and passing out Christian leaflets. And besides, that's like youre opinion man.  Galaga like really tied the thread together, uh, man, and this aggression shall not stand.

~Donny, you are out of your element! F it dude. Let's play Galaga.

[DaveMMR]

Galaga >>>>>>>>>>>>Gyruss.

Gyruss is a fine, fine game but you are undoubtedly correct. Galaga is all the more sweeter of a tasty gem of a game.

Galaga, better than Gyruss??!!

Oh man I gotta get outta here:)

If even one innocent youngster that wanders onto this  pep rally can be saved from that ugly pro-galaga propaganda peddled by pro-galaga agents (if not minions) , that's enough of a motivation.

Say NO to black, single, static screens!

Be progressive PLAY XEVIOUS!

Thank you!

Clearly you're not a golfer

Clearly you're not a golfer

No, I'm clearly not, but now that you mentioned it, I think you were alluring to it by quoting something. I think I'm recognizing Big Lebowski, but that was kind of about bowling, not golfing, unless I'm completely confused.

Anyway in order to "save face" I have no choice but to continue forward with anti-galaga sentiment!
