Human attempts to colonize the distant regions of the galaxy have resulted in a full-scale assault from alien forces. (When will we ever learn!) The people of earth are counting on you to lead an elite group of long-range fighters deep into outer space to meet the enemy and save mankind. Are you up to the challenge? Okay, it"s not really that dramatic, but it is fun. Galaga is a top-down shooter that started as a coin-op machine in the early "80. You"re confronted with an armada of insectile aliens, some of whom come down and strafe you as you dodge from side to side. They may swoop down and capture one of your ships, but if you can hit them right with your next ship, you can recover the stolen vessel and combine it with your current fighter for twice as much firepower!
