Great improvement over the original!
The Sequel to Galaxian, Galaga improves over the first one in many ways. This is a top-down game where you once again play as a spaceship killing alien ships. This game could handle a slightly better movement system, better firing and allowed you to shoot multiple shots on screen at once all of which was limited on the first one due to the older software. The game ever so slightly looked better when it came to ship design and style. One of the biggest improvements is the way even my spaceships move on screen and their capabilities where all of a sudden, a spaceship could steal one of your lives and use it against you, very cool stuff I did not expect while playing and because of these small changes I always preferred this one over the previous. This, much like a lot of the classic Arcade titles, will probably live on forever in some form or another.
9.5/10
