	Phosphor-Dot Fossils: Galaga
		In Galaga, you were the only thing on the screen when the game started - rather than being presented with an alien fleet from the first moment of the game, you had an opportunity to take out the enemy as they flew into formation.
		But, as in the case of the motherships, which you could use to double your firepower by allowing one of your fighters to be captured, wiping them all out before they had a chance to form up wasn't always to your advantage.
		Galaga was also quite unique in that it allowed you to make judicious use of your remaining "lives" - you could mortgage one of your turns by allowing a ship to be captured, and then regaining control of it.

		Aside from that, Galaga's gameplay centers on acquiring the elusive double ship upgrade, the greatest secret in all of videogames.
		Why the multiplayer aspects of Galaga present in the arcade version were omitted from the Xbox Live Arcade release is strange.

	Granny Vinnie Reviews Galaga for the Atari 7800
		Galaga is one of those arcade classics that still logs a respectable amount of playing time from bar, pool hall, and arcade patrons.
		Galaga is a VERY fun game, and is one of the few Arcade apps that I play occasionally to this day.

		Galaga Arrangement is another version of Galaga which has been brought up to current standards for 2D graphics quality and includes additional gameplay elements such as power-ups and a much larger variety of enemies, such as crickets which jump up and down the edge of the monitor, then leap onto your craft.
		The "Challenge" stages are a heck of a lot harder now, and often include visual distractions and disorienting events like smoothly but quickly rotating the entire background and enemies 90 degrees, then back.
		This is a great game, but so is Galaga, and I stil play both versions about equally.

	Review - Galaga // Xbox 360 /// Eurogamer
		First of all, out of all the dozens (hundreds?) of Space Invaders clones that spewed forth from the arcades in the late '70s and early '80s, Galaga was easily one the most memorable, and is probably the only one I can stand playing for concentrated periods of time even now.
		But such is the perfectly honed difficulty curve that even now Galaga is underpinned by a delicious one-more-go appeal, boosted immensely by the obsessive lure of global high score tables and the friends list that comes as standard with these Live Arcade offerings.
		For as wonderful an example of 1981 gaming as Galaga is, and as addictive as it remains, the thrill is gone after about half an hour of blasting.

		When looking at the picturesque screenshots of Star Defender, one can hardly imagine, that this game is a classic remake of the old video game Galaga… And it's not surprising, because Galaga was released in 1981, when no one could even imagine there could be 3d graphics and all those things.
		But in spite of the fact that space in that video game was looking simply like a fl screen with spots, which hardly reminded us of the far beautiful stars of the galaxy, this game is one of the most popular arcade games to date and is still sought after by collectors.
		You can evaluate all the advantages of this galaga style video game not only when looking at its screenshots, but also if you download it on you PC and simply try it.

		In 1984 Galaga 3 (aka Gaplus) was released, which was no where near as popular as either previous game.
		For the time the PCE port of Galaga ’88 was damn good and captured the arcade version with little loss.
		Galaga ‘88 has the most character and best gameplay of all the Galaxian games, and stands out as one of my favorite single screen shooter (with Akkanvader at the top of that short list).

		So Hasbro Interactive faces a tough crowd of loyal Galaga fans with the release of Galaga: Destination Earth, and will likely see more than a few angry expressions after the game hits shelves.
		Galaga: DE is slated to hit the Playstation and PC sometime this September.
		The game consists of several waves of alien attacks played from one of three points of view, called "attack patterns." The first pattern, Gamma, is the one most familiar to fans of the original and the most fun; unfortunately it's the one you see the least often.
