Galaga (Namco rev. B)

Released by Namco in 1981, Galaga is a fixed-screen shooter that inherits and expands upon the gameplay of the classic Galaxian. In this title, players intercept enemies that fly in from the edges of the screen to form formations. A key strategic element involves the number of enemies destroyed immediately upon their appearance, which influences subsequent gameplay. The game also introduced the groundbreaking "Dual Fighter" system, allowing players to use the enemy's tractor beam to combine two ships into one. With its imaginative bonus stages that captivated countless players, Galaga overcame initial development concerns to become a massive hit and a definitive work in the history of arcade gaming.
