Dre Parker MK if the plug n play is running the arcade rom and not like a nes rom then it should work I think!

[@dreparkermk161]

@@timstinyarcade170 It runs a lot like the arcade versions, the major difference is the placement of the buttons and joystick. Sometimes I am having to use one hand to shoot and move my ship which is not the most ideal way to play Galaga but I have done it for years and it has become second nature to me. I just can't seem to get past 200,000 points.

[@robertcroxtonjr.7623]

my name is robert. thanks for the galaga scoring tip video. one of my all time favorite old school video games is centipede. can you do a video on getting the hight scores in centipede?

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

That man is playing Galaga. Thought we wouldn't notice, but we did.

[@vikinglife6316]

Highest level I ever got on 1 quarter was 63. My mother was a bartender and I spent a ton of hours playing games in the bar because she couldn't afford a baby sitter. One day I was gone for al long time and she was wondering why I was not asking for more quarters and I was killing it on Galaga. I had the high score for years till the bar shut down.

[@OldAussieAds]

I just don’t understand this concept. In Australia, arcade operators (and every shop with arcade games) would turn off the machine each night. And there goes your scores. How did you Americans (you and George Castanza) have your high score recorded for years?

[@vikinglife6316]

@@OldAussieAds It depends on the arcade machine. Some will retain highscores when turned off and others will not. It stores in the solid state chip on the board. For example centipede would retain only the top 3 highscores.

8:56...this game helped me grieve my parents. Literally played for a year straight and processed everything. It's not only the repetitive nature of it, but the "rules" you discover as you keep playing. Something just really comforting about it.

[@Kramerica962]

I too have a special connection with this game through my father. He passed away around 7-8 months ago and Galaga was one of his favorites. We used to go to the local pizza joint and they had a sit down, flat top combo table with Galaga and Pac-Man. We would spend HOURS eating pizza and playing these games. We were such regulars that they would clear the game table for us on days they knew we were coming because they understood it was a tradition for us. I'll never forget how excited he got when I finally took number one on the high score board, even if the score wasn't that impressive and there were just a lack of people reguarly playing the machine. Still one of my most fond memories of him saying how proud he was. I miss that man like you wouldn't believe so I know how you feel. You never forget but the hurt does fade with time. It's nice to be able to look back and remember the good times though. Keep your head up Galaga sister, we're gonna make it.

[@Spookje09]

@@Kramerica962 My mom passed away in 2014 and although we didn't connect with arcade games, I can relate to your post. Always cherish those things that keep a connection to our parents. Im sorry for your loss. If we are (or your dad) around the same age, we really experienced something very special growing up in the golden era of arcade games, music and pop culture in general.. Im almost 52 and have a soon-to-be 5 year-old son and we play my Arcade 1Up cabinets with the classic Atari games and others with Pac Man and Galaga, etc. I know I don't have as much time here with him since Im older, so I hope he will remember me by some of the things that made my youth special and will be special/sentimental to him, because today's pop culture is, in my opinion, questionable at best, and many youth are not happy, despite having so much tech. Never take the time we have here for granted, as well as family and all the great things we are afforded by living here and now, because its so fleeting. Im sure you know that, but it was nice to put it into words. Take care and thanks for your story.

Whenever I have challenging stage, no matter how many ships I have, there will always be one bug from the matrix dodging every bullet.

[@quentinsmommy8509]

Exactly

[@Kire667]

memorize the patterns of every challenge stage, same way you do the normal map cycle. always line up the shots with either the outside or inside edge of the first 2 and last 2 of high score. These 6 numbers are vital to where challenge stages ALWAYS either cycle upward or downward while entering/leaving the screen. If you need practice, this game is on Steam.

[@daneast]

One thing he didn't go into at all is when they are swarming down you need to use a constant side to side motion with each wave, to draw their fire. They generally come in bursts / waves that allow you to work your way across the screen, and by the time you reach the edge that burst has stopped and you can reposition. So you're trying to draw them to one side or the other, but doing it slowly where you're kind of teasing them to follow you to the edge gradually so you don't run out of space. Then you reposition and work across the other direction to the other side the same way. Back and forth until the level is cleared.

[@sammyjamjars]

Growing up, my dad owned a laundromat and we played galaga every night after hours so this game has always meant a lot to me. After 5 years of going to the same barcade, I finally beat the high score on my local cabinet. I hit level 113 and my score was 1,020,113. I was sweating my ass off and my forearm was so damn sore. I've been trying to find new techniques to make it simpler and watching this gameplay has really made me realize some flaws in my game. Thanks for the upload and it's awesome to see other Galaga pros missing a handful of bonus stages...makes me feel better. Hope to compete with y'all someday!

[@judahawesome775]

I’ve developed a lot of strategy tips over my years of playing, but now it’s time to learn from a pro

[@Zedman3333]

Heres a good Hack Trick. (im nearly 50, and i remember doing this in grade 5 and the local fish and chip shop) First stage , shoot all , bar the last 2 that come out, stay to the right of the screen the whole time. Let them constantly do their loop and over and over. They will fire at you, they are easy to dodge. let them repeat their loops. If your ship is to far over ( like firmly pressed against the end of the screen) watch out for sneaky bullets that come from the right , leave a gap between your ship and the end of the screen, sometimes the bullets can come from the right hand of the screen and you cant see them and you will die. Wait patiently for around about 5-8 minutes (remember to dodge the bullets) it will feel like a long but its not. Eventually they will stop firing at you. Let them do a few more loops just to make sure they have completely stopped. When they have done at least 4-5 loops with no firing, kill them both. ENJOY THE REST OF THE GAME WITH NO BULLETS BEING FIRED AT YOU, AND A HUGE SCORE.

[@chrisk6049]

Stage one- leave one blue bug from the left in the second row, kill everything else but leave that one, let it fly around dodging it and the fire power for ten minutes, then shoot it, the rest of the game the bugs won’t fire at you unless they crash into you and die, then they’ll fire at you again

[@riverrich7929]

Galaga was my Fave game in 1981. My personal high score was 3.75 million on a slow fire machine. Another great game is Galaga 88. I remember playing it a whole bunch one summer long, long ago with the goal of reaching the final stage on just one coin. One day I finally reached my goal and I'll tell you that the gameplay was incredibly difficult and the machine was literally rocking side to side sometimes from the movements I was making with the joystick. Good Times!

Another tip: If you shoot a Galaga Boss in flight after all the bugs have formed (not while it’s stationary), the other ships will stop firing, very briefly. You can then clean up some bugs for a couple of seconds. That’s why I don’t kill the Galagas when they’re forming up on the entry patterns. They’re pretty useful! (And worth more points in flight).

I found that letting all the enemies get into formation and playing with just one ship improved my skills, though my scores were lower of course. The key to to be able to line up your ship and shoot the enemies in formation before they start to drop down. When playing with two ships it's often possible to blow away all the enemies before they even have a chance to get into formation. I don't know how high a score I could have had but I used to walk away from the game after I rolled over a million points.

Galaga Forum requires parking on Level 0, Twin Galaxies doesn't address it and doesn't adjudicate scores anymore, anyway. Also, the 2nd-to-last challenging stage is actually the easiest to get 100% on. Playing on the Player 2 side is not required but is recommended so you don't have to keep track of "rollovers".

[@thesundots2628]

This dude needs to write that Galaga book!

[@abcmaya]

The simple strategy I use in this game is I try my best to clear at least one side. Once you do that you can just stay on the clear side while you destroy the enemy one by one. Its the safest way to play the game. (And also try to get the double ship as soon as possible)

Nice video and very interesting content. I love old arcade games and had a local arcade in my hometown that some of my family knew the owners. They would let me use the key sometimes to toggle a switch for free credits to play. I would never ask them for the key but they would always offer when I ran out of quarters. Over the years I’ve been spoiled and now as a 41 year old adult gamer I love my PlayStation 4 and such. One day I’ll get a PS5 when they become a little cheaper. With all that said as much as I loved the old arcade style games the graphics on games has come almost photo realistic in some games.
