SGB Smackdown Sunday: Galaga

[@SpadeSol]

"THAT MAN IS PLAYING GALAGA!" ~ Tony Stark

[@leon2550]

"he thought no one would notice, but we did." ~Tony Stark

[@StevenChungTop10]

The Galaga start-up jingle never gets old. Never.

[@Kapenguin448]

Ahh, Galaga. Simple, basic, fun. Who doesn't love Galaga?

[@nigel5075]

People who think the only games worth playing are CoD halo and every 1st person shooter fan

[@LordDioBrando]

only in smash 4, galaga is broken as fuck

[@ilovehertodeath]

+josh beuke That's a bit prejudiced. I love FPS' and Shmups all the same.

[@taylord5381]

My dad likes galaxian more.

[@K12machinima]

@@taylord5381Your dad is wrong.

[@ReyvateilReploid]

It's awesome that you guys are playing this, it's great to see the roots of video games. Kids these days don't know the roots of video games with their Call of Duty, and their Last of Us, and Titan Fall. This was one of the first video games, a true classic.

[@ReyvateilReploid]

***** LMAO!!!!

[@shadowblade15277]

***** From the looks of your profile pic... You look like a spectacular guy/ REAL MANLY as he Jaleel White Sonic MAN, the bat-ass one not the lame cosplaying one from 06... xP HOHHH YAAAEEEEEEHHHHHHHH~! Yes even Hulk Hogan noticed your mature manliness! x) Props/commendations for having constraints with the allowance too! :) It taught us how to manage money between DA good shit, AND DAAAAAMMMMN AWESOME GOOOOOOOD SHIT! x) And trust me man, out of 10/22 year old children/man-children where I live/am forced to be in contact with... You legit seem like an awesome guy to hang around with and have a gloriously grand time with indeed! ^_^ And good on ya man for appreciating the sometimes simple (depending on how you play/do things) but even more fun things in life! :DDDDDDDD

[@supericee]

Galaga. I may be just about as old as Elliot, but man do I have some memories with this game. I can score over 100,000 in Galaga. Beat that SGB!

[@leon2550]

5:04 my college had one of those anniversary ms. pacman and galaga cabinets. that was great fun.

[@OctaviousNight]

Looking at this makes me wish later versions of the Namco Museum did an actual museum setting like this version

[@MrYoshbert]

I have really fond memories of Galaga. Specifically, Galaga Arrangement (the 1990s remake). Anyone remember that? It's part of the PS2/Gamecube version of Namco Museum (along with the original) and MAN, I had some great times with that when I was little. It gives the original game a major cosmetic overhaul, and adds dozens of crazy and unique levels, new power-ups, bosses, and even background music (and awesome music at that). Oh, and it featured 2-player co-op and versus modes, too. It also included remakes Pac-Man and Dig Dug, which also got a bunch of the same additions. If you guys decide to do another Score Attack Sunday in the future, you ought to give the Namco "Arrangement" games a shot.

[@smashmaster521]

I do. I played the hell out of Namco Museum PS2/Gamecube (specifically the PS2 version), and Galaga Arrangement was one of the games they included. God, I love that particular Namco Museum. Easily one of my favorite games of all time despite it being a compilation that didn't even have a Museum to explore. I'm glad I own it again.

[@jtoumai]

According to Wikipedia, "The world record high score for Galaga was set in June 1989 by Stephen Krogman of Boca Raton, Florida. Krogman scored 15,999,990 points based on Marathon rules.[12] On January 1, 2011 Andrew Laidlaw of Kirkland, WA claimed the Tournament setting world record (five ships only, set to greatest difficulty) with a score of 4,525,150 points.[13] The Rapid Fire setting (depression of the fire button causes continuous shooting) world record and Ms. Pac-Man / Galaga: Class of 1981 Fast Shot setting world records are held by Jon Klinkel of Battle Creek, MI with scores of 3,210,590 and 2,913,720 respectively

[@jtoumai]

because I have a life

[@jdfalcon08]

I have only run into Galaga and Ms. Pacman arcade cabinets, never the original Galaga arcade cabinet.

[@mega1343]

Galaga was my favorite old school namco game by far. Everyone in my family was good in it and we were all really competitive. Like a bad score for me would be like 80,000. I remember one time my cousin even beat the high score in this arcade we went too. I really miss those days.

[@jdfalcon08]

Ironically, I just played it last night at a video game event. It never gets old seeing this game in arcade cabinets with Ms. Pac Man.

[@TailsPrower100]

Oh dear God, my dad played this ALL THE TIME when I was little. I could never forget this game.

[@THESHINIGAMIPOSSE]

Miss these types of vids

[@PS2man90210]

The highest score is 4,525,150. Good luck with that one Matt!

[@leon2550]

dayum son.

[@ernestosilva704]

DAMN SON

[@evilmonkey1075]

With the cut the red wire joke, did anyone remember "Cats & Dogs?" "It says here, 'Cut the red wire.'" "We're dogs! We're colorblind!"

[@Orien_S]

Man, I got it on DVD. I used to watch it all the time ever since the cinema premiere.

[@DiscordedHaru]

Ahhh yes, Galaga. My father's favorite old school game. :)

[@noname76761]

There's a Galaga machine over at a pizza parlor across from my old high school. We had open campus, so me and my friends would end up trying to beat each others scores during lunch on Fridays.

[@tehberral]

I've encountered 3 Galaga machines in my time. One at an actual arcade, one at a laundromat, and one in the basement of a guys house I was working on. One I do want to see up close though is a Centipede cabinet. The artwork on that can only be described as "straight pimp, y'all".

[@shadow40k0]

i'd like to thank the opening to tekken 1 for giving me my first real taste of this game

[@USSMariner]

God damn, would I love to drive over to Philly (I'm on the other side of the state) and chill with you guys. I'll bring my copies of Metal Arms, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and F-Zero X. And mebbe some beer.

[@AlluMan96]

Ah yes, Galaga. Propably one of my favourite score attack styled Namco arcade games. I mean of course *nothing* beats Dig dug, but this one comes at least vaguely close. This is one of those games that me & my sister were constantly score waring over on the PS3 Namco museum essentials. A very fun game indeed & yet I never really had a thing for Galaxians despite the blatant simularities. Unfortunately, due to the great PS3 memory wipe of 2013, the original high-score war between me & my sister has ended. While I'm not really good at Galaga at all, I still managed to win the last laugh with a high-score of 87.000 points after an hour of playing. I'll just stick to Dig dug for the big high-scoring, but I just got that score to jab at my sister as retaliation for her beating me to a bloody pulp in Tetris every god damn time (that & Robotron 2084).

[@leelewis445]

Me and my dad used to play this and a few other arcade games whenever we would go to the Laundromat. This, Out Run, Mortal Kombat and Ms. Pac Man were my favorite.

[@mikecar9899]

i played galaga via namco museum for the nintendo gamecube which also had remakes of certain games with updated graphics and even co op multiplayer

[@SteamyLinguini]

I had it for PS2.

[@donkeykong75m]

Im with matt I like this sort of retro gaming for smack down sunday. even if it doesn't become a regular thing id like to see you guys go at it in old school arcade games more.

[@jet4212006]

my first arcade encounter of Galaga came when I was a JFK Airport in NYC waiting for my grandmother to arrive and i saw a Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga machine and played the hell out of it while i was waiting.

[@User-rp3sn]

There was a Galaga cabinet in my favorite rollar skating place, they also had MvC2.

[@christophercoleman9091]

Dear, Super Gaming Bros. Thank you for uploading galaga this is my favorite arcade games of all time! Keep up the good work.

[@JayDayX116]

i used to watch my dad play this for all the time when me and him would go to arcades. he seriously averaged around wave 50

[@davidreeder43]

Man, the noises from this thing alone take me back.

[@PatricktheHedgehog01]

my local pizza hut has a Galaga/Ms. Pacman machine.

[@smashmaster521]

Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga are a pretty common combo machine in arcades.

[@syxodude91]

there was an arcade here in san Francisco that had an entire classic section in the back. they had galaga, pacman, street fighter 2 others.

[@KinzieK]

Watching this on a PS3, you can imagine my momentary confusion when I saw the Download Complete notification for Jeopardy.

[@nigel5075]

This play through has encouraged me to get out my copy of namco museum and play a few rounds of galaga

[@SantuXD6]

Oh Galaga... I played the shit out of it in my gameboy. Also, isn't that ship the most enchanting thing you've ever seen?

[@DanmakuFriedChicken]

The memories of staying up with this game on late at night. Lack of background of music adds to the atmosphere

[@Scorpionspear77]

I’ve never seen a solo Galaga machine. I’ve seen the Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga combo machine all over the place though

[@TheChaoticBlur]

*10 minutes into the video* Yea it's pretty obvious who won already

[@XxJerk48xX]

I played Galaga viva the Tekken 1 boot up screen.

[@katt-the-pig]

What's funny is last weekend me and my friends held a gaming decathlon, and this was one of the games we played. I can't remember who won. I'll have to check if they uploaded that video, yet.

[@rawisrey]

whenever just one got away in the challenge stages I'd yell out "Tell your friends!"

[@Mewzard]

There was a Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga combo arcade machine at a local Godfather's Pizza I seem to recall from several years ago. Good times...

[@montywh]

you're in luck guys. i took a vacation to north carolina just last year, and we went to a restaurant that had a galaga machine in a small acrade area

[@Cartoonguy133]

I think I may have played Galaga once in an arcade a few years ago. I have more memories of Galaxian since I only had Namco Museum Vol. 3 for the PlayStation as a kid.

[@KaiserOniZ]

There was actually a Galaga machine in my local movie theater at one time. Shame they got rid of it.....

[@Blonde_Uchiha]

I love 6:57 so much! Matt's laugh!

[@meadowtube10]

There's a Barcade in my hometown of Jersey City and it's awesome! They just added The Simpsons and TMNT arcade booths!

[@johncenaFU42]

I'm surprised that you guys haven't seen a Galaga machine those seem to be pretty common from where I'm from.

[@luisy.gonzalez6469]

I used to play this with mom every night before bedtime.

[@chaosblast1000]

You know what I want to see, a Smackdown Sunday of Donkey Kong '94.

[@RVMan985]

Oh man, where do I begin with my experiences with Galaga? Let's see, I had it for the NES, it's a secret game on Mortal Kombat Trilogy for the N64, I've played it countless times on the arcades, and I have the Namco Museum for the Xbox. What can I say, I love this game.

[@strangevision99]

I've only ever played this at the start of Tekken....I don't know how its avoided me so much, I love old arcade games

[@sirwolffang9065]

Anytime my dad finds a Galaga machine he is there for at least an hour even when my mom bugs him to stop when she is ready to leave but he ignores her and continues to play and he doesn't play a lot video games but he always on the top score list.

[@timsheppard6204]

Tony Stark:that man is playing Galaga he thought we diddent notice but we did Me:that`s the point Tony your suppose to know that

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

4:48 I have~. It was cool.

[@xGimpyx]

Cool story, bro.

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

***** Huh? I mean I've seen one in real life.

[@myheroandmadaralover2372]

+NickonAquaMagna so have i in a londry mat

[@Takimeko]

"This will probably be our longest." And then Jeopardy! happened.

[@MisterX867]

I actually have a Galaga/Ms.Pacman machine at a laundromat near me

[@madmatrix30]

I encountered a Ms Pacman/ Galaga cabinet at my favorite diner in New York

[@SpexGuy1118]

We all have.

[@Skretts]

Ever since Christmas of 2007, I encountered a Ms Pacman/Galaga cabinet at my aunt's house. My family would always go downstairs to eat and play games. At the bar, I found a game room. It had 1 arcade cabinet and 2 pinball machines. The pinball machines were a diner pinball machine and a Star Wars Episode 1 pinball machine. The thing I played the most was the Ms Pacman/Galaga cabinet. Me and my sisters would always beat each others high scores on that cabinet because we had so much fun with those 2 games. It got even better when I got the Homebrew Channel on my Wii in 2013 because now I could have an NES emulator that allowed to play those 2 games and a bunch of other NES games. Ahhhhh, so many memories.....

[@TheGrayMysterious]

I found a Ms. Pac-Man/ Galaga combination machine at Cici's Pizza once. Galaga is really fun.

[@braidedapollo4]

I have played this game on an arcade machine at my aunt's house before.

[@MagicalPhi]

Doo Dee. I laughed too much at that for someone my age. XD

[@shadowblade15277]

Vishnu/DA VOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDD makes EVERYTHING HILARIOUSLY BETTER, with his trusty muse the Texas Chili bowl! x)

[@Tjoeb123]

12:40 But....Jeopardy! already happened.....Oh wait, we doing the time warp?

[@superspyro18]

My favorite arcade game right here

[@jonathanrodriguez6392]

One of my friends owns a galaga/pacman machine. Whenever I want to play that, I can just go there and do it for free :D

[@Kefka44]

If you guys do Space Invaders, you need your 2-liter bottle of Shasta and an all Rush mix-tape!

[@no1important777]

"mathew matteli, also known as Admiral Doo Ordie. was known for his 50,000 victories in space combat."

[@shadowblade15277]

Holy shit, watching this game was boring....... But SGB MAKES EVERYTHING AWESOME! Praise be them and Admiral (Scooby) Doo! : And I would've gotten that high-score, if it wasn't for those goddamn meddling aliens from beyond Earth's borders! xP

[@TBrizzle01]

Any possibility of a Banjo-Tooie shootout for a future Smackdown Sunday?

[@MasterArchfiend]

My experience boils down to the PSP Namco Museum. Good times. Need to play it later. Gotta use that PSP and lack of games is not a reason to use it.

[@victim304]

After seeing them play galaga, one of my favorite vertical shooters, I'd be interested in seeing them do one of these score attack things with touhou. Or any bullet hell for that matter.

[@calmecac71]

I would love to see a gameplay of Nights Into Dreams (HD version if you want).

[@calmecac71]

Really? Didn't knew XD

[@kiarajo2654]

you are did really good matt.

[@TheDemonking30]

wait. you've never seen a galaga machine. I sir am so sorry. as a kid I loved going to the carmike cinemas in maryvile and playing galaga

[@troupemasterbrandon4101]

in Ocean City Maryland I encountered a Mrs. Pac-Man and Galaga two in one machine and in Myrtle Beach South Carolina I encountered a actual Pac-Man machine in a store

[@SwordgunnerM92]

oh man i remember playing galaga with my brother

[@JosieBnuy]

I don't remember if it was Namco Museum 64 or Galaga and Galaxian on hasn't Gameboy that introduced me to Galaga

[@PointingouttheObvious]

I need my drunk Mario party

[@Ryuzekia]

20:35 Skills, skills, Skills, SKILLS, and they failed me.

[@Ravenforce3]

I had the NES port of this. Never got very far, but still loved the shit out of it.

[@aaronfarrell1237]

Nostalgia Overload

[@TheSuperthunderblade]

I have played galaga on a ms pacman/galaga arcade machine in a movie theater in Helsinki.

[@joe88john]

I saw a Galaga machine at a water park. Odd place to have an arcade IMO.

[@SuperTrulyAwesome]

Is there any chance you guys could add a playlist link for Smackdown Sundays in the description? I always feel like I should watch some more after one... OH GOD WHAT'S HAPPENING?!

[@AZLionheart312]

I had this on my Commodore 64. I'm pretty sure it was easier on it, as I don't think it sped up as quickly as this version.

[@siljeff2708]

I never knew the bugs would change forms. I never cared to play it past level 3 though...

[@CrazyFoo501]

Sooo Matt was that Shield Agent Tony Starks made fun of?

[@sethwarrior9719]

my grandparents had this arcade machine in their basement ( good times)

[@sethwarrior9719]

their basement was a bar

[@sethwarrior9719]

actually no i didnt i dont like booze

[@sethwarrior9719]

Seth Warrior they only used the bar on weekends with their friends

[@shadowblade15277]

Seth Warrior Bah, virgin strawberry cordial is to never give your virginity for.. :P Epecially making strawberry soft serve GELATO, HOW GELATO IS/WAS MEANT TO BE! :D

[@multibomble]

theres a Galaga machine in the ice house near me.

[@KOTA9001]

I used to own a Galaga machine, but my dad sold it a couple years ago.

[@MarioBro5346]

I always see galaga arcade machines especially at cicis pizza I am very surprised that they have never seen one

[@MetalSnakeXIII]

Speaking of Ms Pacman,who played the Ps1 Ms Pacman game?? I kinda liked it ^_^

[@coolnerdyates29]

Ah, galaga. the only game in which i can beat my dad. He would destroy me in ms. pac-man.

[@ZeXo519]

Now I want them to play Touhou for Smackdown Sunday. I'd recommend 06.

[@imahappyvirus5]

Love this game!

[@MsDAmusic]

Watching this with U.N Owen was her?, Flandre Scarlets theme ups this videos awesomnes with several 1000% Also, you guys seem ready enough for a bullet hell. Touhou anytime soon?:)

[@OG23IV]

I played Galaga in a local pizzeria when I was 5 in 99'

[@hyperchris3]

I only played this game at the local arcade

[@malomal4]

There's a Barcade in Philadelphia too??! -- A New Yorker

[@KAZ462]

There's also one in NJ

[@Tjoeb123]

Also, I'm quite surprised that none of you went Dual Fighter....Why?!

[@OnlyGoken]

Matt didn't because it was too risky, and John was going to, but he blew it up. Elliot just sucks at Galaga. Lul

[@myheroandmadaralover2372]

i love the galaga nod in soul cabilber 3

[@ernestosilva704]
