Description: Old flash retro remake of Galaga! Galaga is a Arcade Games. Instructions: Left and Right Arrow keys to move, and space bar to shoot. Category: Arcade Games. Played: 12,190. Favorite: ADD TO FAVORITES.
Way, way back, when the universe was young and video games had just appeared on the scene, a game called Space Invaders blasted into every arcade, bar and pizza parlor in the country, sucking millions of coins from the pockets of the American populous. Money talks a language all game developers understand, and it wasn't long before the next generation of Space Invaders-type games made its appearance. Galaga was among them.
Galaga took Space Invaders' basic idea and transformed it from a relatively static shooting gallery into an inventive, visually appealing fast-action blastathon, the likes of which had never been seen before at that time. Now the aliens could really fight back; they didn't have to stay in their neat little rows, but instead they could swoop down upon the player's gun in dizzying spirals and loops, firing all the way.
Now it's 1990 - gad, where did the '80s go? - and Galaga has been updated to meet the high standards of today's competitive video-game market, the result being an addictive and inventive space-battle contest that's guaranteed to please any shoot-'em-up fan. Galaga 90 is most definitely a worthy addition to your video-game library.
Let's talk about graphics. With Galaga '90 you won't play for the highest score; rather, you'll try to last long enough to see as many of the stunning animations as possible. The attacking creatures flow onto the screen in circular and zigzag patterns, before regrouping into lines across the top. When hit, some creatures explode with an effect not unlike a Fourth of July fireworks display. Colorful, indeed.
Once all a wave's creatures are on the screen, the creatures break from their ranks and swoop down upon you, sometimes transforming into different shapes. You need to be quick on the controller to stay clear of both them and their fire. However, when you first play, you'll be so busy watching the aliens' antics, you'll forget to man your guns.
Sometimes a creature or obstacle on the screen will, when hit, leave behind a blue capsule for you to scoop up. These capsules allow you to warp to different 'dimensions', where you can earn bonus points and fight a different class of enemy.
CONTRACT KILLER 2 – In the environment of mobile developers creating a realistic and full-fledged 'shooter' for a long time seemed nothing more than fiction, akin to 'utopia'.
Your fighter, just like the creatures against which you must battle, is capable of taking on different forms. A single fighter may be used or the fighters may be combined into double-and triple-shot crafts. With these high-powered fighters, you can spray the screen with destruction as you try to rid the world of the Galaga corps. Of course, the double and triple ships are wider than the single version and so make better targets for the opponent.
Now let's talk about music. Games for the TurboGrafx-16 seem to feature unusually good music, and Galaga '90 doesn't break that tradition. In fact, one jazz piece, played during an intermediate screen, is good enough to tape for later playback in your car. Good stuff! The only problem with the music is that there isn't enough of it.
Galaga '90 is an excellent shoot-'em-up. However, you should keep in mind that this type of game isn't for everyone. Very little strategy or thought is involved. Mostly, you pound the fire button until your fingers bleed.

It is the sequel to Galaxian, released in 1979. The gameplay of Galaga puts the player in control of a space ship which is situated at the bottom of the screen. At the beginning of each stage, the area is empty, but over time, enemy aliens will arrive in formation, and once all of the enemies arrive on screen, they will come down at the player's ship in formations of one or more and may either shoot it or collide with it. During the entire stage, the player may fire upon the enemies, and once all enemies are vanquished, the player will proceed to the next stage. Galaga is one of the most successful games from the Golden Age of Video Arcade Games. The arcade version of it has been ported to many consoles, and it has had several sequels. The objective of Galaga is to score as many points as possible by destroying insect-like enemies. The player controls a starfighter that can move left and right along the bottom of the playfield. Enemies swarm in groups in a formation near the top of the screen, and then begin flying down toward the player, firing bullets at and attempting to crash into them. In later stages, some enemies even break from an entering group to frantically try to crash into the player. The game ends when the player's last fighter is lost, either by colliding with an enemy, one of its bullets, or by being captured. Galaga introduces a number of new features over its predecessor, Galaxian. Among these are the ability to fire more than one shot at a time, a count of the player's 'hit/miss ratio' at the end of the game, and a bonus 'Challenging Stage' that occurs every few stages, in which a series of enemies fly onto and off the screen in set patterns without firing at the player's ship or trying to crash into it. These stages award a 10,000-point bonus if the player manages to destroy every enemy, but otherwise 100 bonus points for every enemy destroyed. Another gameplay feature new to Galaga is the ability for enemies to capture the player's fighter. While the player is in control of just one fighter, a 'boss' Galaga (which takes two hits to kill) will periodically attempt to capture the fighter using a tractor beam. If successful, the fighter joins the enemy formation as a satellite to the boss Galaga which captured it. The captive fighter becomes an enemy, and likewise, it can be shot and destroyed. The player can still fire while being captured up to the point their ship 'touches' the captor, which could be considered an opportunity to shoot the captor down before it can manage to successfully capture the player. Captive fighters can be freed by destroying the boss Galaga towing it while it is attacking. The freed fighter will then combine with the player's fighter who freed them, offering doubled firepower but with the disadvantage of a target twice as large. If the player destroys the captor while it is still in formation, the captured fighter will not be rescued, and will instead fly away after a diving run (assuming the player does not destroy it) to appear in the next stage as a satellite for another boss Galaga where it can once again be rescued.
