Galaga is a fixed shooter that was first released in the Arcade in 1981.
+ Gameplay displays an impressive amount of on-screen sprites with no flicker, and there's some catchy jingles.
+ Action is infinitely more fun when armed with a second ship, and the gamble to obtain it is a lucrative risk.
+ Challenge Stage is an excellent diversion and a great way to test your reactions / pattern recognition for bonus points.
- Speed is pedestrian compared to the NES port (1988) and the Expert setting is the only way to get the true experience.
- Action becomes very repetitive after a few attempts and the game does little to advance the initial concept.
- Later levels suffer from bizarre instances of extreme frame-rate drops when there's swarms of on-screen foes.
