Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils[/caption]In the 70s the world of video gamming saw one of the most famous video games of all times with the release of the classic science fiction video game, 'Galaxian' (1979)! Why was this game (which was developed by, 'Namco' and Published by: 'Namco' and 'Midway') so great? Well simply speaking this game was not a particularly hard game, I mean the arcade game was extremely easy to control... Yet it is harder, the longer you play!
Well in 1981, we saw the next level for that game when Namco & Midway would go on to release the epic sequel, 'Galaga' (1981)!

A true classic![/caption]A lot of the concepts from Galaxian followed through to Galaga, including the fact that you are essentially a spaceship which had to go around and destroy as many aliens as possible and get as many points as you can, and the more levels you go up, the harder it gets!
There was also a lot of differences as well including among these are the ability to fire more than one shot at a time, a count of the player's "hit/miss ratio" at the end of the game, and a bonus "Challenging Stage" that occurs every few stages, in which a series of enemies fly onto and off the screen in set patterns without firing at the player's ship or trying to crash into it. These stages award a 10,000-point bonus if the player manages to destroy every enemy, but otherwise 100 bonus points for every enemy destroyed.
Their is only one problem that I have found with this game, that is that it is dated, and if you are not a fan of older video games, then you might not like it, but if you do, then you might enjoy this one!
