My favourite is Galaga 99 on the PC Engine. |

It's true, it has nothing to do with the original and is just a cynical attempt of the gaming "industry" to cash in on an existing name. On the other hand, it will appeal massively to the 5 Japanese gamers that own an Xbox 360 as well as the well to do 30-somethings that remember the name from their highschool days and that's a good thing. I'd love to play this thing on my cab though because that's were arcade games, HD or not, belong. |

Gaplus was a sequel, and it upped the ante. Galaga '88 is a true sequel if you wanna go there, and it skirted the edge between killer graphics and retaining cool game play. But it also added to the theme in the 'triple ship' feature, as well as the different beasties, the warp modules, etc, etc. There's no need to go any further. --- Quote ---On the other hand, it will appeal massively to the 5 Japanese gamers that own an Xbox 360 as well as the well to do 30-somethings that remember the name from their highschool days --- End quote --- Which 30-somethings are you talking about? The ones who were in grade school when galaga came out? Or the ones who probly only knew it as legend by the time they were old enough to be in highschool? |

Or how about a multiplayer mode where your on opposite sides and the enemy in the middle, where you can shoot at the enemies and the other player? Still keeping the left right movement, but introducing a multiplayer aspect. --- End quote --- |

I remember certain early 80's classics arriving new at the local arcade and was barely in elementary school (kindergarten). I remember begging my Mom to get me the blue Tron sweat shirt for school...not the red one (they both had this awesome translucent plastic disc on it that was iridescent)...after I had watched the movie and after I had played the piss out of the arcade game. My point being, we didn't have to be in high school when the classics came out to appreciate them or have valid experiences playing them. :) |
