I sucked at this game. Best I ever got was ~stage 20

One of the few games I play whenever I see it.

>tfw galaga was your favorite arcade but you were shit at it
I was pro at superpacman tho

Honestly? My favorite game
OF ALL TIME
OF ALL TIME
OF ALLLL TIME.

Can anyone give me tips on galaga fundamentals? Or shmup fundamentals in general? I've been playing galaga but I suck dick (bad dick)

bump

What's the absolute best Galaga game?

>tfw you know galaga is better but galaxian is your fave

I prefer twinbee

"World's Biggest Pacman" has Galaga and it's the same game, but fucking beautiful

I don't think I have ever felt a stronger connection to anyone on this planet than I do to you right now, user.

"My nigga" doesn't even begin to describe it.

y-you too

Don't get hit
Also if you let your ship get captured and shoot it as it comes down but don't hit your ship you get double shots

I choose Pole Position II.

Someone had Namco Museum vol. 3.

No reason to play this when objectively better shmups exist. Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun are the only two I like but regardless I see no value in returning to games like this. Galaga isn't like Defender or Joust where there still isn't much of an alternative to the gameplay it offers

>remembering that conversation in middle school when a friend was trying to convince me that Galaga was better than Mappy
Sorry sweetie, it just isn't.

>telephone ringing

mappy sucks, fucking mouse.

with quest of Ki

>he didn't let the aliens steal his ship to recover it and have 2 ships at once

Still my favorite shmup just because it's so basic but still cool, didn't go absolutely cuhrazy yet

...

BACK OFF CRIMINAL SCUM

>actually wasting a life to get two ships
Shits only good for bonus stages
You sacrifice a lot of survivability doing it since you can't effectively escape to the corner

How many of you have romanced Galaga?

As much as I like galaga this thread belongs in /vr/

Yea, Sup Forums is only for shitposting and waifu, how dare OP make a thread about video games

Second this. Lived next to a bar growing up and would spend my change playing the half-dozen arcade games they have. Galaga was my favorite.

GALAGA FOR THE ATARIBOX

come get some.

Galaga Arrangement (PS2) > Gaplus > Galaga > Galaxian

can you even play this anymore?
it was dumb not having a downloadable version and now their site is gone forever

was namco cool?

Yes.

...

>namcoxcapcom remaster never

I love the Avengers movie reference to this game out of nowhere

Anyone else know the glitch you can do on the arcade cabinets? On the combo pacman/galaga machines they stock at shitty sports bars you can jiggle the joystick during the demo and take control, glitches it the fuck out

BABADUKE IS IN THE SAME UNIVERSE?

Where can I find a web version of galaga

I played the first game on the Nintendo with a group of friends with the emulator Mednafen. It is a great game for hotpotato multiplayer if that is your thing, as every three lives enemies reset whereas otherwise each time you die to an enemy, he remains gone the next life

>dad never plays vidya
>at most mentions he liked the star wars tie fighter game in arcades when he was in high school
>whenever he does play he is awful and just says vidya isnt for him
>see a galaga machine in a pizza place
>play it to see who can get the highest score
>he's jokingly shit talking that he's really good at video games
>i get a score that I thought was decent
>his turn
>he is anticpating enemies off screen before they even appear
>laughing saying how it's all coming back to him
>looking like he's playing with a tool assist
>obliterates my score
>to this day, loves mentioning that time he crushed me in galaga
honestly I aint even mad, homie had moves

>I played the first game on the Nintendo with a group of friends with the emulator Mednafen. It is a great game for hotpotato multiplayer
Hold the phone, I want to play too.

>Dig Dug 1 and 2
>no Motos, Assault, or Grobda

You can, we did it ON THE NET through Mednafen. It was organized in the /vr/ #/vr/_netplay channel on irc.

irc.rizon.net
#/vr/_netplay

I don't join that channel anymore because I frequent the 7chan #netplay channel instead but when I did we played a bunch of fun stuff on Mednafen. You will probably need to initiate if you specifically want to play The Quest of Ki, also we played the Japanese version (it was only released in japan but there is a translation patch) and I am pretty sure we lost in the end so it is worth convincing them to use the English patch
