Galaga 80s Arcade Game

[The Lizard]

I just went to Jillians, the arcade/food place, and saw a Mrs. PacMan/Galaga machine. I put my token in, and (hoping to play Mrs. PacMan) accidenly hit the wrong button, and I started playing Galaga. I got hooked on this arcade game, it cough my attention, and most of my tokens too. I don't know, does anyone r emeber this game?? I know a lot about 80s games, but I don't remeber seeing or hearing of this. :D

You obviously don't know alot of you didn't know about Galaga until now! Galaga is a classic arcade game up there with other classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Joust, Spy Hunter, Gauntlet, and many more.

Galaga is great, but since I'm weird and I played the Atari 2600 version a lot, I liked Galaxian better. Galaga shows up as a minigame in some Namco games. You can play it at the loading screen in Tekken, for example.

Vendors now can put MAME type programs in an actual arcade machine. I've seen a machine called "Gamechoice 2K" that has just about every arcade game ever made, which you select with a trackball. (also has a joystick and several buttons). Right next to the Galaga/Ms Pacman machines, BTW
