Arcade Longplay [688] Galaga '88

[@Dorelaxen]

"I want to be with you as a man and a women." Sweet, my new pick up line.

[@RC-hk3oo]

I prefer to play it safe and go with the standard "All your base are belong to us".

[@jeffjackson9679]

So...you're a hermaphrodite?

[@Matthew_Paul]

If the game had a 3rd loop, it'd end up just like that Atari's X Man game.

[@ポスターピクセル]

I thought that was you coming out as genderfluid

It's 2017 and that animation at 0:21 is still impressive

[@NicoTheBear64]

WODOHDOHDOH

[@青空太郎-s5n]

yes.I find it futuristic. i am surprised that it was made in 1987.

[@logicaloverdrive8197]

Love the enemy variety in this one, especially the ones with back shields. And I can't get enough of "That's galatic dancing"

[@dukejpc]

honestly that was the last thing i expected to see in a galaga finale.

[@jessragan6714]

"You killed the swarm! Now let's have sex!"

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

I love the Galaga series.

[@joannarobinson7662]

I love the first and second bonus rounds music. They give me goosebumps when i listen to the music.

[@lovemadeinjapan]

Tango!

[@ironscatman]

I noticed that too.

[@jessragan6714]

AH-LURT! AH-LURT!

[@607]

I wonder when the habit of naming one year up started.

[@TRJ2241987]

This game came out in December 1987. It only made sense.

[@aaron_aj_knight_95]

Probably so the game could be "up to date" for when people still played it the following year. Like people playing 2K22 games in 2022.

[@607]

@@aaron_aj_knight_95 I said 'when', not 'why'. ;)

@@607 When did it happen with vehicles?

[@jerrysgardentractorsengine2243]

I fought tooth and nail on Namco museum 50th anniversary edition for the PS2 to unlock this.

[@derekp308]

You had to rescue a girl in the final round. Yet she just popped out of nowhere. We never learn if she was some kind of princess, possibly held hostage by the Galaga’s.

[@Calbenmike]

If I want to irritate my family, I just blast this video.

[@tguns1]

I ran into a Galaga 88 cabnet as a kid at a laundromat in Rhinelander, WI. I loved getting the triple ship.

[@Wolfdragon92584]

This really pushed the series to its max, much like how Majestic Twelve pushed the Space Invaders formula to perfection. Note: this is now on Arcade Archives!!!!

[@m.firzafadmaputra9569]

40 years for Galaga, but Galaga '88 is the re-worked

[@jonathansantos6009]

Thanks for bringing us back... cool sounds and color! Ready for some galactic dancing?

[@Elvie_Eddsworld]

I like that level! Its my favorite

[@chumbersdee]

We used to get so high and go into Westworld arcade in the Marina and play this.

[@jessragan6714]

It's a surprisingly profound experience when high, isn't it? Just, those sound effects.

[@orchid810]

I love how they took the original theme and made it a billion times better.

[@Bloodreign1]

Shoot absolutely nothing in the bonus rounds, the game will still give you a nice special bonus.

[@MumblyJumbles]

That, amusingly, carried over to Galaga Arrangement.

[@superleantm730]

Talk about points over entertainment for this player on-screen...

[@danny_cookie]

Only works once though, IIRC.

[@MntlWard]

@@danny_cookie I think you have it backwards. It doesn't work on the first bonus level, but it does work after that one.

[@dafukisdat9200]

Bro, I totally love those little dudes with the fireworks! Everytime I hit one of them, I count it as ASMR!

[@nessdapkboyo4755]

Ikr I always went for them first because of how satisfying it was

[@jessragan6714]

This game does a really good job of stimulating the senses. The boom you hear when you cause a rift between dimensions is just magnificent. Like, this isn't a piece of paper you've ripped through, but the boundary between realities.

[@michaeljosephmercado6522]

Galaga, memories to my ears, the best game ever;-)

[@ElectronicHeroes]

Love this game, was hoping for a warpless run though, haha XD

[@Bloodreign1]

But warping is how you face the true last boss of the game, and get the best ending. ;)

[@CartoonPhreak]

The TurboGrafx-16 version of Galaga ‘88 was licensed to Hudson Soft in 1989 for US manufacture and distribution (as Galaga ‘90).

[@therealvbw]

I love the sound of this game.

[@BenjaminGoodman]

an arcade style galaga machine, thank you Pete-

[@superleantm730]

I can't dodge all of that! I would get shot before I even reach the 3rd dimension and have a game over, even for my PS2 gameplay.

[@ThatTalkingDogGuy]

What a strange world it is that I sit in my living room watching someone else play a game that I have in my basement. Can't be bothered to get off my arse

[@andrewenserro3185]

This would be my favorite game in the galaxian series

[@longregrets6184]

it's weird we never got a megadrive'genesis port of this game. Especially since namco supported sega heavily around that time.

[@Framed_Niner]

Somebody needs to make this

[@jessragan6714]

There's a Game Gear version for what it's worth!

[@lloydtucker6065]

I played that on the GameCube, 50th anniversary that is.

[@hazytony6391]

That’s galactic dancing 🕺🏽 👾

[@ironbowtie]

No hot coffee? What a rip.

[@guillie]

"What are you going to do now?" *What am I going to do?*

[@SamusKerrigan]

yes, what are you going to do as a man?

[@Matthew_Paul]

If the game had a 3rd loop, it'd end up just like that Atari's X Man game.

Old cameo in the higher levels I love it so much

[@TomJones-wi4nh]

I didn’t know this game existed. Time to break out MAME!

[@elescritoriodejasso]

Excelente GAME! intentaré programarlo en MS Excel para su aniversario el 25 sep. Saludos

[@SpeedyNinja1152]

I feel like this title would work well on the Super Nintendo.

[@TrainmasterCurt]

They had this on iOS, but you can’t play it now!

[@TroydragonBelmont]

Ghh! why not have two ships?

[@nate567987]

free power up later and extra points

[@troyhenderson8070]

Or rather 3 ships....smh honestly.

When i was younger i was kinda scared of the dimension 1 background

[@roostthecockatiel5227]

My favorite game in the shmup genre

[@alexmoreno2606]

I played this game and beat it.

[@quakerlyster]

I play this on an Anbernic RG353M. It is very hard to play on this device because the shooter moves too slowly and there is a delay in the motion. My best score is about 120000.

[@teio748]

So advanced graphics for 1980s

[@bryanzamora7781]

Awesome form galaga 88

[@paktype]

The ending music is the same as the ending music in Outrun.

[@prun8893]

Always use the double....or in the case of 88....use the triple. I ended up in dental school instead of medical school because of this game.

[@ryger8445]

History...

[@YouDummy]

How in the hell have I never seen this game before?

[@faceheadman]

played this on one of those oneup display machines at walmart and the opening jingle reminded me of those awesome chiptunes the x68k has. turns out it uses the same sound hardware, neat game but man its it B*tch to play sometimes

[@davidhughes4689]

did anyone ever tell this guy about double ships?

[@cooler1854]

To guy who got 1million plus. So there is no way to continue game .It just ends on it's own right ?

[@SCORP1ONF1RE]

88 is the best Galaga

[@Indium111]

Why does that happen at 20:31? I never knew that could happen!

[@lovemadeinjapan]

At the second bonus level: shoot nothing! Did you know that?

[@Indium111]

@@lovemadeinjapan What happens when you shoot nothing? (well, other than getting a score of zero for the stage)

[@geckomcvr]

I played that game when I’m on holiday and on Xbox 360

The Galactic Dancing aliens have a shit assignment.

awesome

[@MarquisDeSang]

This is a TAS obviously : taking too much risk and not knowing the dance pattern.

[@gregorytom9044]

Props. Well done^^

[@betolevrone]

I can tell you don't really like to have the 3 ships mode

[@Legend64]

I bet UI Goku was playing the game

[@PrimevalDemon]

Wow doesn't take a genius to see why this iteration is never mentioned

[@Matthew_Paul]

So if you finish the game, the female pilot of the ship proposes to become your woman, huh?! Talk about a curious game ending.

[@jackrinaldi9098]

Ending 1: you beat them but they might come back one day Ending 2: you beat them all and now there all sad Ending 3: you beat them all and now they're all dead Ending 4: who cares what you did you're getting laid.

[@BLRavenWizard]

Too bad about Dimension 1 for the rest of the game tho. I wish

[@InkNimations]

Galaga '88... made in 1987? They should've called it Galaga '87. I'm not very happy about that, but oh well, I can get by that.
