Does anyone else like to play Galaga?

[browneyes]

I took my kids to the movies the other day to watch Nemo. After the movie was over, we had to play the video games in the foyer. I forgot how much I used to love to play Galaga (I miss atari sometimes). Anyone else like to play that game? I can't remember which was my favorite-Galaga or Space Invaders though. I haven't played SI in a long, long, long time.

MY DH just purchased a game for his Gameboy that has Galaga, Pole Position, Dig Dig & Pac Man. It really took me back. Now, if I could just find Mr. Doo or Space Invaders, I'd be happy.

I remember those. But, surely it was in an other life for all of us since we are all so young

{{sigh}} Galaga...

The last time I played Galaga, I got 550,000+ points. I was at Pizza Planet (MGM) when I played. It's the highest points total I ever got. My previous was about 410,000+. What an improvment that was.

It makes me want to play my Namco Museum Vol.1 on my PS2 (game is on there).

One of the many things I want to do in my life is own an actual coin-op Galaga machine (along with Joust, another all-time favorite of mine.)

If you have a PlayStation, go find Namco Museum Vol. 1, it's got Pac-Man on it as well as Pole Position and Galaga. And while you're at it, find Volumes 2 and 3. They have Dig-Dug, Ms. Pac-Man, Xevious and even the original: Galaxian! Volumes 4 and 5 aren't as good. They have a majority of games I never heard of.

i've never played Galaga....

Never Von? My ds got mad at me because my quarter lasted longer than his did. I had an advantage, I can see the screen better since I'm taller than he is.

MMC, I don't have a PS2. I might need to go get one though. I'd love to have a coin operated game too.

JM, lol, I'll readily admit I'm a child of the 80's. But if you want me to say I was a child of the 90's I will (since we're the same age).

SL, I might need to get a gameboy too.

never shannon... and i'll admit, i'd never heard of it either.


i don't want to hijack your thread, BUT i tried to mail you a bagel today and the postal guy caught me and gave me a 5 minute lecture on mailing food. (how would a bagel leak, anyway? )

I bought a game for Nintendo 64 that has Ms. Pacman, Galaga, Dig Dug and Pac Man. I love to play those games with the kids, they think their Mom is so cool because I get really high scores. LOL

It's fun, Von.

I bet your postal guy doesn't know how to stick his tongue out either.

AM, my ds thinks I'm cheating his turn everytime we play any of those kinds of games. It's like riding a bicycle. Some of those games, I haven't played in years, but after a few tries, I look like I play them all the time.

We have galaga on Mame 32 for the PC. and we love it.


My DH plays it all the time, and my son is pretty good at it too.


I can always tell when they are playing it because of the sounds!
