Arcade Week: Day #4

Not trying to go gen z on everyone right now but does anyone else remember the glow up memes? What if was to tell you they did one all the way back in 1981, and what was the one game they decided to glow up? Why space invaders of course!

In Galaga you play as a small ship at the bottom of the screen which must shoot down these ships at the top of the screen. The difference? They come down and try to kamikaze or shoot you a little closer, aww. As you play along the enemies get tougher and tougher. You can even get extra ships which attach onto yours and act as a ‘get out of crying cause you lost all those meaningless points card’. And…that’s basically Galaga. Overall, it’s a really fun game which has definitely become a certified hood classic and it has slowly become one of the most respected arcade games of all time, when I find it to be alright I guess.

Pretty decent, solid gameplay, them boss enemies can piss off
